But I have totally lost respect for him after this...
I was as excited as I have ever been about any fighter, and the Floyd fight would be an event of my life sporting wise... But if either his cheating ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRR PRIDDDEEEEEE got in the way of the fight of the century that every single boxing fan out there demanded, then fuck him..
He could have proved he wasn't on drugs, and that drugs don't belong in the sport, and that although Floyd stepped outside some boundary to demand those tests, Floyd obviously believed there was a need for them, then he has gone down almost to Margarito status in my eyes...
There are some things bigger than being "right"...
If after an entire country and a lot of the rest of the boxing world getting behind him and supporting him, but then denies the fight he has because of cheating or pride, then all respect I had for him has gone...
((Sorry if this has been the topic of discussion for the past week, but I havn't been on here since before christmas and have only learnt in the last 5 minutes that this fight is not happening, and i'm really f'n pissed off.. At PACQUIAO))
Way to take another chunk out of what little credibility and glory boxing is hanging on to..
