So now that Arum has called Mayweather/Pacquiao off...

[Mattyhitman]

Indeed, but how will he now be remembered?...

I feel that this may permenantly tarnish his reputation and that tends to upset me.

Will he now be remembered as an ATG with "stipulations"...

Like Aaron Pryor and the black bottle. That'll always hang over his head even with all his accomplishments.

To be honest if you read what most people are posting on the internet you see the following common statement "gayweather is a pussy, I hope Pac cleans him out in the courtroom"

I think the fine print for the asterisk will be rewritten in short order here.

The way people talk sometimes is just moronic... Look, no one hates Mayweather more than me. Trust me on that... But the fact remains that whenever an athlete is surpassing everyone and not just rising above the top level but in a way creating their own level there are bound to be questions. I think it's an athletes duty to keep the record straight and a true champion would ALWAYS want to shaow that they're the real deal and not a fairy tale. These questions and accusations are part of being the best. It's "the best's" job to dispell them... If they don't?... well....

Hmmmm i appreciate what ya saying bud, but im not sure about ya hating Mayweather more than me
I've pretty much kept out of this argument as i still believe it's Manny being Manny and Floyd being Floyd, and the fight will eventually be made ( seems far from that right now tho ). Why can they not not take the blood sample the day after or even 1hr after the fight if it's Manny's concern it will make him weaker before the fight ? Surely this would sufice and surely he cannot get rid of any drugs from his body 1hr after the fight can he ?
