And I have already answered your second question when I wrote a few comments back that "The refusal to accede to the demand also placed Manny under suspicion".

Now my question to you eagle is: Are you one of the posters who does not believe Manny has an impressive accomplishment? If you are, then I am just curious as to what your take is on my question above. If you are not, then that question is not for you.

And miron_lang, that's a nice list that you have but I won't put David Diaz in there. I would consider Pacquiao's win over dela Hoya as more spectacular than that. Although people would say that Oscar was a shell of himself and weight drained, Manny jumped 2 weight divisions and was a heavy underdog when he faced him. Whether it's worthy to be placed in that list is debatable.
Floyd didnt run away from anything as he was still open for negotiations when Pac went and signed up the Clottey fight. So your above statement is null and void.
I never ever said Manny was not a top and accomplished fighter. He has many great wins, but i do believe they are all suspicious now due to his recent behaviour.
With regards to the Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations, please read this link:

Paula Duffy: Pacquiao-Mayweather Arbitrator Says Both Sides Have Lied about Arbitration

They had a disagreement and needed to go to arbitration to save the negotiation. In the end, the parties could not agree on a testing protocol acceptable to all. The arbitration failed so what more is there to discuss? You never ever said Manny was not a top and accomplished fighter but did you ever say that he is a top and accomplished fighter?
Here u go. Manny Pac has the best resume in boxing today. The only thing stopping him being a genuine ATG in my eyes is the drug taking suspicions.
