    Nah after I re watched the fight and actually thought about it there is no doubt in my mind. PBF is in another level and he will make Pacman look very ordinary. After the 4-5 round be prepared to watch Pacman get teed off on.:bears:

    Manny signed the contract to fight on 13 March.
    Days went by and Floyd didn't.

    Did somebody say ducking?


    It's funny how other people try to pile everyone who has an opinion on this in 2 groups. Floyd fans and Manny fans. Well it may be that way for a lot of you but in my case I'm going by what I see is right. I find it wrong that Manny is being vilified and accused of something when no evidence has been presented other than him refusing to comply with testing. I'm likewise a Floyd fan but I'm obviously fustrated with his opposition as you all should be. So with that said let me just say this...

    I don't know if Manny's refusal to comply with an olympic style blood test is right or wrong but I do know this. He won't compromise his principles to save himself millions, and that my friends is called integrity, that's called courage. That's what boxers should be made of.

    I may just be because I'm totally fucking sold that Floyd is a coward on this one. I mean I'm at my final point. Just like when Roy fought Ruiz I'd been burned so many times I thought there was noway Roy was getting in that ring with Ruiz and when he did I was shocked. It's the same thing with Floyd right now. I believe with full certainity that he doesn't want this fight and that mediator won't do shit for getting it made.

    Based on what? What could possibly make you think that PBF is on another level to Pacman?

    I thought all you Mayweather fan boys were screaming that Manny wouldn't take a random test. It says right here he agreed to 3 tests, one of which would be a random test.

    What the fuck more do people want? He agrees to unlimited urine tests, and 3 fucking blood tests.

    The issue is the cutoff date, not the fact that he's willing to take A random test. The argument that a "random test" within a 45-day period and a 30-day cutoff date isn't very random at all. I agree with that, though not necessarily with their decision to allow it to be a dealbreaker for the fight.

    And if he was planning on juicing that close to the fight, well he's prepared to take a blood test right after the fight in the dressing room.

    The fact that 4 years ago he is on record saying he felt a blood test weakened him (even if just psychologically) shows he is not full of shit.

    Floyd has a history of finding SOME reason to not fight the best available opponent. Pacquiao has no such history, and has fought everyone.

    And people wonder why this fight isn't coming off? :lol:

    Floyd's latest reason for not fighting the best available competition, the universally recognized P4P number one fighter in the sport - he's too good (must be on PEDs). :bears:

    Floyd mayweather vs manny pacquiao fight: pacquiao vs mayweather fight will not be canceled
    6 January, 2010
    Mayweather is reportedly willing to give up his demand for Olympic-style random blood test which Pacquiao has been opposing on the grounds of his apprehensions about the impact of the tests on his performance.

    Mayweather’s U-turn may or may not have something to do with Pacquiao’s defamation suit against him that demanded $75,000 in damages. Mayweather, his father, uncle, Richard Sheafer, Oscar De La Hoya were sued for falsely accusing Pacquiao of using steroids.

    Richard Shaefer, CEO of the Golden Boy Promotions that promotes Mayweather had told ESPN that they were mulling over withdrawing their demand for random drug test.

    Earlier Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum had suggested postponing the fight while Pacquiao himself said he would fight second-tier fighter Paulie Malignaggi if Mayweather backed out. His trainer Freddie Roach named the new light middleweight holder Yuri Foreman as another alternative.

    Contrary to the earlier rumors, the much-hyped bout is more likely than not to be fought at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on March 13.

    I'm starting to think Pac's concession are appropriate. I'm no expert on PED testing but this schedule seems very reasonnable. I think that if he plans to cheat, he has very high chances to get caught with this schedule.

    Hopefully the fight will get made.

    Agreed :bears:

    Especially the blood test right after the fight and random urine.

    it's more about not getting sued and losing.

    He could still cheat from 30 days before the fight till roughly three days before the fight, which is a decent enough window. And who knows how random that one test would be? Apparently the NSAC thinks when they give fighters 48 hours notice, that constitutes some sort of random test. Basically its the same Manny offered all along plus one additional random test. If they come in to do the random test 60 days before the fight, he can happily juice throughout the large part of camp without any fear of getting caught.

    ElTerrible, you think using PED in the month leading to the fight would be both beneficial and undetectable right after the fight?

    Because some random dude on the internet said so? Without posting anything to back up what he says? At least Mr Steroid expert could tell us how long the most commonly used PED's stay in one's system. How people go about beating the tests and such.

    Baron, the Sky is red. Believe me, this is the internet and I said so!

    3 persons seem to believe that : V10, Jake and Elterrible...

    I'm not 100% sure they're right but I'm inclined to believe them... What about you? What's your take?

    Instead of telling me "The sky is red", why don't you try to convince me that these tests are okay?

    Honestly, I'm kinda confused on this whole issue... I think both are acting like prima donnas but Pac is acting very suspiciously. The thing is that I don't know anything but what I read here and there about PED, so I have a hard time making up my mind on the concessions Pac is making...

    If he was planning to get juiced up for the fight, a post fight blood test would reveal it.

    Don't forget, Toney - whilst being trained by Freddie "Roid Extraordinaire" Roach failed a post fight drug test.

    The same test that Manny has never failed. And that's just a urine test, Manny is prepared to take a post fight blood test, and have a random blood test during camp, and have random urine tests.

    Incidentally, there's just as much "evidence" that Floyd is on roids as there is for Manny.

    From what I have read, most commonly used PED's take about a month to be out of your system. So, I guess you could say Manny COULD juice but it would be cutting it damn close and there would be a huge possibility of him getting caught IF he was doing it. Which I do not believe he is.
