Floyd not fighting Pacquaio will bother him for the rest of his life

[ruthless rocco]

Manny agreed to the standard drug testing that all boxers go through pre and post fight. Screw Floyd for adding stipulations, his hands are loaded with cortisone, that to me is cheating.

HAHA.... that's a pretty poor excuse.

Fact of the matter is Floyd was the one who brought the big money to the table. Without him Manny couldn't earn anywhere near the same payday. So it's his right to dictate one simple term.

Floyd is the clean fighter and knew Manny was dirty. So his one term was that the fight be fair and that there be random PED testing. Manny couldn't agree to that because he is a cheat.

Floyd knows, like all reasonable and intelligent people know that the testing for boxers in inadequate and that fighters are being allowed to fight while using an assortment of PEDs. He's the one putting his life on the line and if he has the power to say "I'm not willing to chance my health to fight a guy I know is cheating" then more power to him.

If Pacquiao wasn't cheating then there would have been no problem with the increased testing leading up to the fight. In fact, he and Mayweather would have been heralded as leaders -- voluntarily working together as the two highest P4P fighters trying to clean up the sport. Manny threw that and $50 million away!

It's really quite simple. A cheat is a cheat.

Floyd cheats every fight numbing his hands. He should have an asterisk next to his name in the hof. Fact is, acceptable testing is acceptable. I would have told Floyd to go screw as well. I give Manny credit for not allowing Floyd to add stipulations.

I don't think it will, Floyd don't care. The only life it'll have is from his detractors and critics and more importantly fans who simply wanted a super fight between two divas.

They both share the blame equally along with the dorks that surround them. They will both have to wrestle with it after all is said and done. If history and historians are fair on the whole then both will share the blame in their eyes also.

Despite my comments I admire Floyd, as a boxing fan how can you not. I am more of a Manny fan, he strikes me as a little more real and in touch which I attribute to the life he had growing up. In all honesty I think this fight is still going to happen. Floyd senior made a comment that he thinks Manny has slowed enough where Floyd could easily beat him. Let's face it, both these guys have a business machine behind them and in the end neither side is going to walk away from what might be the biggest payday in boxing history. The problem is whoever wins or loses fans will be saying, well, if it happened ten years ago such and such would have happened but, and write this down, I am willing to bet Brocks left testicle the fight takes place next year and the hype will be like nothing we have seen. I'll even throw in miles right testicle and masters porn collection to show how sure I am this fight will happen.

Pbf imo either is too vein or too simple to care.

Owner of this thread could be proven right if historians pump up Bradley, Rios & Jmm as having the balls to do what Pbf didnt': fight Pac

Obviously you guy haven't seen him make a scene over a women not knowing who he was. It doesn't like to show it but yes it bothers him he has a big ego and deep down its going to bother for him forever.

Fair enough but if it happened 5 or 10 years ago the result would have still been the same.

Are we to believe that if it was 5 years ago floyd just stayed the same age at 37 and wouldnt be better?

Everyone seems to think because manny MIGHT have been better 5 years ago floyd just gets stuck in time and wouldnt be the same fighter whooping an undefeated hatton.

Shall we even bring up the 2 year retirement to come back and school a legend in marquez!!!

Think manny could take off 2 years and do that to marquez?!!!!

Come on!!!

Stop right there. If you actually think Floyds win over Marquez has any credibility then you seriously are delusional and very biased. Making Marquez jump up two weight classes and fight at a weight he has never fought at before is just as bad as Pacs win over De La Hoya at 147. Not to mention that Floyd didn't even try to make weight.

You are missing something. I think Manny would win the bout. I'm just saying whatever happens people are saying it happened too late.

I don't think so. Floyd values money more than legacy, and he has made plenty. He wants to keep the undefeated streak more than searching for the biggest fights/wins available. He can live with that, knowing that his fans will come up with every excuse imaginable and try to deflect, so what does he really lose? When he isn't ranked as high as he feels he should be (TBE), he will cry about the haters and probably blame race (even though the guy has made more homophobic and racist statements than any other top athlete in recent memory). I have to add though: I think he will go down, without a doubt, as one of the top skilled boxers ever. I have him, skill wise, right there with Sweet Pea, Hearns, Hagler, Toney, Hopkins, Ricardo Lopez, Rigo...etc. The guy is talented, but his boxing mind and skills/knowledge of the sport is more impressive to me.
