Boxing Thread

Okay, list the requests Floyd has made other than the style of drug testing.

There is reason to make this request because there is now a lot of doubt surrounding Pacquiao, whether that is Pacquiao’s fault or not isn’t the question. Pacquiao should really jump at the opportunity to set the record straight. If I’m going to be honest his reaction ( Pacquiao’s) makes me suspicious of him.

Many boxers would agree to such a request, many boxers believe Pacquiao should comply with the blood test. The amount of blood they’re taking will have no effect on his performance. The same tests are used in the olympics as I said earlier they did not stop Ussain Bolt smashing the world records.

Pacquiao is not the only one saying blood draw affects their performance. Whether or not it actually makes them weaker isn’t the question. The point is, it’s effecting them mentally. And many say the mental aspect is just as important as the physical aspect (even more so in boxing than in track). So if it effects him mentally, then yes, it is a possibility that could effect his physical performance.

Reasons pacquiao doesnt want to draw blood.

I’m on the fence about Manny. Its true that mentally if you believe something makes you weaker, it will. They only took 6 cc’s though so I’m not buying that it made his arm weaker. Maybe his psyche. Either way I don’t think there was any way he was going to beat Morales that night. He on the other hand after the fight still had to explain to an entire country why he lost.

Roach on the other hand knew what the deal was the entire time. Why wait until 2 days before the fight for an examination? He would’ve known if Nevada had the information they needed in order to make the fight sanctioned or not.

Didn’t they put the Morales fight down to him having to wear Winning gloves and being weight drained?

Bob Arum really is a scum bag as I believe Morales was a top rank fighter at the time, Pacquiao wasn’t.

read my previous posts.

another link… i hope this sh*t ends soon i’m kind of getting tired of it.

I doubt the fight is gonna happen at march but, mark my words it will happen this year no matter what. They have to be complete dumb asses to let possibly the richest fight in boxing fall through. Let’s just hope pac & may don’t lose on their tune up fights.

last time i checked, being mentally weak and ignorant wasn’t a valid excuse not to do something. and the only documented demand mayweather has made was drug testing. also, pacquiao is the one that left the negotiating table leaving arum to scramble and come up with excuses for him.

if he wants to keep his 40-0 record he should just retire again just as simple as that. It’s going to be untouched, but doing that will just make him more like a pussy. OK well let’s see mayweather fight someone bigger and faster than him and find another way out of it, other than pacquiao or mosely

lol @ larry merchant. he needs to sit his old senile ass down somewhere, i thoroughly enjoyed seeing max kellerman doing rambling larry impressions during his post fight speeches.

Larry Merchant is the guy that picked, Hatton, Judah, Baldomir and De La Hoya to beat Floyd right?

I seriously doubt Floyd believes in his mind that Pacquiao can beat him. I don’t think Pacquiao can beat Mayweather I actually think the match up will be easier than his fight with Zab Judah because he can constantly stay out of Pacquiao’s range due to his reach advantage.

It’s a shame this fight won’t go through, all because Pacquiao doesn’t want to lose a couple tea spoons of blood.

I used to be hyped to see Manny vs Floyd but in reality it will just be another clinic in pop shotting.

NO! This is our only chance to blend in with the Predator species! :rofl:

Shane Mosley
John Ruiz
James Toney

All fell short of someone yappin about steroids. Then bam they got caught. So how ironic FMJR call PacMan on it and he doenst like needles. Lets be honest with ourself, Take the names out and say it JohnDoe said JamesDoe is Juicing JamesDoe said thats crazy John said test him James said I dont like needles is it weird now ?

FMJR says all sorts of random shit and he has ducked fighters, in a sense thats true but look how its true. Another EX. Sanford gets challenged by 7 people in MVC2 (Yipes/Soo/Chunk/Tone/Fanatiq/Mixup/Crizzle) of all he takes Chunk, beats him remember the other 6 wants some of him. Meanwhile Crizzle beats all of them (He deserves a shot at Sanford right ?)Sanford feels Yipes is the people’s champ so he takes on Yipes {Why wont he fight Crizzle}Sanford beats Yipes and he doesnt want Crizzle now he wants WONG. So in a sense we feel he ducked :

Crizzle
Soo
Fanatiq
Mixup
Tone
This sounds familiar right this is BOXING yall :sad: I would love to see the fight happen. Fighters turn the page on other fighter cause of money more than image once they are established as a good boxer. Mayweather is not in a proving state anymore. Remember anyone thats still looking for a big mega fight can call ANYONE out and they dont take it is considered Ducking:tdown:

ALSO IM NOT A MAYWEATHER FAN EITHER

If I could rep you I would, I was just about to say that, Larry Merchant always has picked against floyd

there’s one more final argument they’re trying to settle. it’s a video.

so arum says the fight is off. i’m pretty sure if he spent as much time trying to convince pac to take the drug test as he does lobbying the media shit could’ve got done, oh well.

What boxer in their right mind would agree to taking random blood tests before a fight? Better yet, what boxer in their right mind would make such a proposal to their prospective opponent? How fucking retarded.
