The Revaluation of Manny Pacquiao

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

It does pretty much look apparent that Pacquiao is taking PEDs but I will hold at 'Inocent until proven otherwise'...

For all we know(which is highly unlikely do to the brutal mud dragging that his reputation is going through) he is just breaking Floyd's balls(again, highly unlikely)

I'm not one to accuse when there is no proof except the fact there's no proof...

The only thing we're going on is the fact that he's not taking the tests as Mayweather wants him to. It pains me to see it as it's making him look like a cheater that could put the blackest eye on boxing in a long time which is exactly JUST what the sport DOES NOT need.

If he would just adhere to the tests we could be done with all this... Why would he not?... The only answer I can come up with is cuz he's cheating...

But I cannot call him a cheater until it's proven.

Until then Pacquiao will sit attop my P4P list reluctantly.

The fact remains "Pacquiao is not fighting because of a drug test", if this was because of defamation of character the negotiations for the fight would not have even had a chance to start because Mayweather Sr.'s statement was made after the Hatton fight.

Indeed.

I just can't be ripping guys off my P4P list due to allegations, though. I recognize this and I do, in fact, think he's hiding something... But with no proof, I need to give him the benefit of the doubt. It's not fair to be witch hunting and tossing people into rivers to see if they float without proof. Do I deep down think he's taking PEDs? At this point in time... Yes. But again, thinking and knowing are two separate things.

I'm right there with you man, I have not accused him of taking PEDs, but I think I have made my suspicions brought about by his reactions clear. I'm accusing him of backing out of a fight, choosing the courtroom instead of the ring.

Agreed. He's dropping points every day with me as this goes on... and by that I mean respect wise...
