I seen a video ages ago on YouTube were mosely said floyd and pacman have around the same power.

It's sad that now that Shane Mosley is thought of as a human punching bag and talks about who hit him harder or who beat him up worse lol.

Shane can take a good beating due to the steriod abuse.

Out of the 2 choices Pac my a mile ;) Martinez is top of my list ;)

Its funny because not to long ago I would have mocked that a bit. I would have said nobody in history has ever moved up like that and gotten that much stronger, faster and better overall. The punching power and workrate also gave me a red flag. Its just that this fight failing even though I expected it has really forced me to take a step back over the long haul and remove the remnants of my rose coloured glasses. They are all most likely cheating including dare I say Mr. Clean Floyd Mayweather.

I'm starting to think the whole thing was a rouse after taking a step back and looking at the evidence with the benefit of hindsight. I don't think Floyd wanted to fight him at that time even though I still believe he would have beat him. And I cant help but compare it to Leonard/Duran1 and they even did it in Montreal. There was no internet then but the boxing world would have went loppy had the first fight never taken place.

The Jamaican sprint team is randomly tested more then anyone else on earth and they are never dirty. I think its safe to assume that if they have access to that kind of chemistry so do Manny and Floyd or anybody else that has the cash. It just looks like an elaborate bluff and lets face Manny is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. No reasonable objective person can say that Floyd does not see what the rest of the world sees which is that Manny is on the slide and may be desperate for the payday. Leonard saw that Duran was having weight issues and that's why he got the second fight 6 months after the first.

In this day and age...no athlete is beyond suspicion. BUT...some clearly show the use of PED's more blatantly than others. While i don't know for sure if Floyd has used PED's or not...looking at his career he comes across a whole lot suspicious than someone like Pac. Floyd hasn't gotten stronger or faster as he has aged...he didn't go from the lower weight classes to the higher ones and hurt people bigger than him and take punishment from bigger guys without flinching. His body hasn't changed dramatically. He has tremendous pedigree, discipline, and skill. He relies as much on his ring IQ/mental toughness as he does on any physical advantage. Non of that is to say it's impossible that he takes something. But when he asked Manny to take the stringent blood tests and team Pac backed off...that speaks volumes.

Why is Amir Khan even on the radar? He is rubbish and has always been rubbish. He gets knocked out or buzzed in every single fight. It would simply be an excuse for Floyd to stay busy and get a rare stoppage win. If Pac is the second fight then it's practically a year away and Manny is an old speedster. The Manny of 2 years ago is what people wanted, and instead they might be spoonfed a knocked out, more gun shy, old man with serious financial issues. Lewis/Tyson rings a bell.
