Under a month till the BIG FIGHT! Final Predictions!

Well I think I remember reading the USADA representative incharge of monitoring the testing program, said in responce to the question of confidentiality, that in consistancy with thier protocal, if one of them tested positive for a banned substance that the information would be made public. I seriously doubt, that the USADA, 'ANTI-DOPING AGENCY' can allow thier program to be manipulated,..you purchase thier system and thier services, you don't contract them with conditions.

Double L,.. with what you have posted,.. are you saying you have scanned Pacquiao side of events and have found that there has been no suspicious behaviour.. and that Fraud's actions are, more tangentially consistent of somebody using PED's?

 

hmm so Floyd would deliberately try to set a precedent which introduces random testing on Prize fighters, even though he himself is using them, so that he could destroy his own reputation and prove himself the biggest hypocrite.

interesting theory, i must consider this....

 

no. nobody's paying off the USADA. PBF could make the demand that Pacquiao take USADA testing, confident that he wouldn't agree. thus, he himself wouldn't be in a position of having to pee clean in order to make the fight (something a PED king like PBF would never want).

on the other hand, the backlash from his demands meant that he couldn't turn around and fight another non-PED user. he was backed into a corner. ah, but he can fight his own promoter, a known PED user; they can bring in the USADA so that PBF's detractors can't claim his demands were unique to Pacquiao. submit to testing. but have no real restrictions on what the results of those tests have to be. the USADA, per their contract, cannot make the results public. And Mosley and PBF, per their incestuous relationship, will require nothing of the other (beyond what the commission requires).

this is the tip of the ice-berg as far as the impact of a private enterprise like G trying to take into it's own hands things like testing. and it's why before we know it the commissions will have to require it. and it's why the USADA is happy to be G's pawn for a bit, while they await the commissions orders to be their official tester.

 

This is a serious theory. How were you able to work all of this out?

 

he and Petre worked this out. Petre called in a few favors with friends who worked the 9/11 conspiracy.

 

I started with the unequivocal fact that PBF is a PED-king and just worked backwards from there. In that sense, it was not unlike the way the PBF/Pacquiao negotiations unfolded, kicking off with Floyd Sr.'s declaration that Pacquiao was a PED user.

 

:laughing:

 

I do believe there's an opaque analogy hidden in his posts somewhere....

 

that interview was regarding the PBF/Pacquiao fight. and besides, what the hell is the USADA's protocol when it comes to boxing? you can't know. they certainly don't.

 

Like I said in the other topic. I think you have a serious head injury. Please go to the doctor because you may be walking around with a concussion.

 

I wonder which is stronger? Sly's love for Floyd or Double L's hate for Floyd?? Both are irrational and often stray into the realm of fantasy. I am a litttle concerned that they may be like matter and anti-matter and may explode if contained in the same topic.

 

This would have been a better fight years ago, but now Mayweather is much closer to his best than Mosley is. Mosley will start off well, but by round 5 or 6 Mayweather will have taken control and dominate the rest of the way for unanimous decision win. And Sly will brag about the win as if this fight had taken place when it should have many years ago.

 

Floyd wins a UD but is given trouble early. Will be kinda scrappy for the first 6 or so rounds, alot of tying up

 

floyd wins an easy UD in a dull, lackluster affair.

 

ill be uber-hopeful and say shane by TKO10

btw theres no way floyd makes shanes corner stop the fight, thats just foolish

 

:laughing:

 

I love you too man. :bears:

 

Group hug!:mj:

 

This is a fight that boxing fans have been looking forward to for the longest time. We go way back with Shane and Floyd as speedy slick P4P rivals.

Pacquiao-Mayweather is a bigger fight overall, as the two are now boxing's biggest stars and P4P #1 and #2 respectively, but for those of us that have followed the careers of FLoyd and Shane for some many years....this one has some personal significance that the other, though a spectacular superfight, doesn't.

Now everyone here would actually agree with me on this (privately), but wouldn't admit it on the forum as it's fashionable to disagree with the "arrogant sly one" just for the sake of disagreeing...and it's also very easy to just state the obvious which is that Pac-May is by far the bigger fight and that Shane is past prime and so on.

Nevertheless...Mayweather-Mosley has a special significance to the hardcore fans that Pacquiao mayweather doesn't....although the latter is undoubtedly the bigger fight in terms of historical significance.

 

Fuck you...you just encourage him. I know your type...help stir the pot in the background and then pretend that you are the peacemaker. You'll have a sticky end. :mj:

 

So was Jones-Hopkins II 'in some ways' bigger than Pac-Floyd would have been, too?:notallthere: I'm not disagreeing because it's 'fashionable' Sly....Pac-Floyd is the biggest fight boxing has brewed up in 25 odd years, Mosely-Floyd isn't as big in any special dimension, least of all because we've had to wait until Shane's 39 for it to happen. That only diminishes the fight's relevance.

 

No. Too old men..one of them knocked out in the first round of teh previous fight and obviously uber-shot.

 

Sly, tbh I just don't care nearly enough to put that much effort in. When I disagree with you I'll say so. When I agree I'll say so. When you say something funny, I'll laugh, when BWJ says something funny I'll laugh. Most of all e-fueds just bore the fuck out of me and I don't wanna have to eaves drop on you two having your lovers tiff every time I click on a thread to pass some time talking about boxing. I'd rather people were just civil to each other & kept tot he subject or had a laugh. This is pure escapism for me I dont want any drama.

I haven't done any 'stirring' beyond disagreeing when I thought you were wrong and laughing at BWJs post about matter and anti matter which I thought was a funny metaphor. Other than that I've been nothing but respectful and conciliatory with you, haven't insulted you once. Yet for the third time you've now told me to fuck off/called me a motherfucker or some other such thing. :dunno: This is probably why you think everyone here's against you Sly, because you go out of your way to alienate those people who would otherwise prefer to just be mates and talk boxing.

 

And in this case you have guy pushing 40 who hasn't fought for 16 months. That diminishes the fight too. Obviously it is MUCH bigger than Hopkins Jones, but it's nowhere near as big as Pac-Floyd in any way for the same REASON as Jones-Hopkins....one man is well past prime and so the fights relevance is diminished, regardless of any personal angle between the two men.

 

If I told you guys in 2002 that Jones/Hopkins and Floyd/Mosley would eventually happen one month apart, and Floyd/Mosley would be a WAY bigger fight, you would have probably called me an asshole.

Just sayin'

 

So what did the doctor say? Is it a concussion?

 

I doubt Floyd stops Shane, but Floyd seems irritated enough lately that he's focused on the fight and he'll give it his best, and I'm afraid that's too much for Shane at this point.

Heart: Mosley

Head: Mayweather.

Gotta go with Floyd on this one, and it's a shame. That would be one hell of a scalp under Mosley's belt.

 

I think PBF gets good PEDs. He should probably win.
