As negotiations finished Floyd gave up 14 days of testing before the fight yet Manny still wouldnt agree. If thats not ducking a fight, or atleast a near on admission your taking drugs nothing is.
This is pretty much right, and I'll agree to it, but Floyd did know from the getgo that this specific demand could hurt the whole negotiation.

It still isn't a response at all that fighting Cotto and Clottey at welterweight is much, much more impressive than fighting Marquez and Campbell at welterweight. Pacquiao had a good chance of losing both those fights, Floyd has NONE of losing his. Suspecting Pac of roids is separate and distinct from saying Floyd's choice in opponents leave much to be desired and Pac's don't.
Would Pac be fighting any of these bigger guys if he had to take random drug tests? I daresay no. I'd rather support a clean fighter myself. Please dont crap on about the 'Pacs scared of needles' shit because nobody gives up 40 million because of a few needles, they do it cos they got something to hide.
Eagle, would Pac be fighting smaller guys if he had to take random drug tests? I daresay no. For example, Marquez won't fight him and no GBP fighter will either.

I personally don't think Pac took steroids, but it is very odd that he won't submit to the tests, I just don't see the logic though.

Anyway, what has this got to do with Mayweather's lackluster choices of opponents? Even Taeth, one of the biggest Mayweather supporters on this site, is dismayed with the choices thrown out now. Come on now! Mayweather has been at welterweight for 5 years, and he hasn't fought a top five welterweight that whole time! Now he is chosing between junior welterweights and lightweights who aren't even at the top of their weight classes.

You know how Mayweather shows Manny up once and for all? He fights Shane Mosley. That's how.
