I am not saying sick as a dog and not able to move but you just do not feel 100%. There I can give Pacquiao the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, understood, but the same holds true for both fighters. It's a level playing field in more ways than one, but your point is a good one.
EXACTLY.
So, did I just read a possible excuse that Pacman might just NOT want to get the blood removed because he "FEELS" like it might weaken him? If it's physiological, then fine, be it, I can come to turns that he's scared, I mean, he has an issue mentally.
Man, If I was given the oppurtunity to prove my "pound for pound" greatness for $40 Mil, AND wear bigger gloves(my face will be fine)....WHAT...take all the blood you need. I have a point to prove.
If I remember correctly, during negotiations, Floyd agree'd to ring size, gloves and ridiculous weight stipulations, but, manny wouldnt agree to the blood tests.
Come on........
