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.
