Pacquiao/Mayweather

[ace diamond]

these two need to shut the fuck up and get in the motherfucking ring already.

[POJO_Risin]

In all seriousness here, the script couldn't be better. You have Mayweather and Pacajawea in the papers every day during the holiday season...while people are home and watching...

It's fucking brilliant...

I can't wait to see Mayweather's response...

[jhale667]

Right now, my gut says there's something to this...

But...for the sake of gamesmanship, I'm going to wait and see how it plays out.

This has Ali all over it. Point is, if Pachoweverthehellyouspellit doesn't sue him now, he's fucked...

Truth be told...you have to give Mayweather credit...he's gotten under his skin, and made him look like a bitch...Ali has to be smiling...

and to boot, he may end up proving that PakayOW is doing some crazy ass shit...

Already looks like he is by default...and the fact that he's bitching like a spoiled baby about it...
If Manny didn't have something to hide, he would've said "Hell yeah, and what...?" to Floyd's testing request. On the spot, even. But he didn't; he's crying, saying it will "weaken" him (not like they're even going to take a whole PINT of blood for a test, FFS). It's bullshit on Manny's part, and a brilliant ploy on Floyd's part. He IS now in Manny's tiny little head.

Plus, I don't care how impressive some of his last bouts have been, it's got to make Manny wonder how he'll fare against the guy who took a year off and still managed to make the guy (JMM) who he deep down knows BEAT him (probably the main reason he declined a 3rd fight) essentially look like a rank amateur (or at least BADLY outclassed)...so now he's scared AND angry...

The talk of substituting Pauly Mallinagi (sp?) instead of Floyd? Joke. Manny will knock him the fuck out easily. Dude has no power. Manny's probably not-so-secretly hoping that's what's going to happen. But if he gets in the ring with Floyd, his streak is pretty much OVER. Floyd's got a big mouth, but he can back it up.

Being from Michigan I am of course a huge Floyd fan. Yeah he has a big mouth, yeah he likes to stir shit up, but Manny will get his ass kicked when and if he steps in with Floyd. This whole testing thing is being used by Pacquiao as a way out, not the other way around. Floyd will fight anyone if the price is right and everyone involved knows this has the chance to be the biggest pay day in the history of boxing. If this fight doesn't happen it is on Manny and his bruised ego, Money Mayweather would NEVER turn down that much money.

It appears Floyd is backing off of the testing issue so the fight may go on as planned. I wouldn't put it past Floyd to find a reason to push the fight back, though. He'll either hurt his hand during training or catch cold so that he can't train properly (sniff).

I'll have to respectfully disagree here - I doubt Floyd's worried about Manny at all. He was already flipping him shit for ducking the third JMM fight, before he himself schooled Marquez.

I agree with you. I don't think Floyd is worried...i just think he's a dickhead. Manny will definitely need some help from Floyd if he is going to win. Not out of the realm of possibility but unlikely.

In theory i can see where you can draw the conclusion that Floyd should clearly beat Manny. However, drawing conclusions based on other fights is liking betting on football outcomes based upon mutual teams being played - very dangerous. Certain fighters have other fighters' number for no apparent reason. Case in point - Vernon Forest and Ricardo Mayorga. How in the world could the man that beat Shane Mosely twice lose twice to someone with half the skill as himself or Shane? Then there is Jermain Taylor and Bernard Hopkins. You can go all the way back to Boom Boom Mancini vs Livingstone Bramble or Little Red Lopez vs. Salvador Sanchez. It really is a trip when you think about it. It just seems to me that pointing to the difficulty that Manny had with JJM, as opposed to Floyd's easy dispatching thereof, may be a trap.

Manny's a tough little shit but Floyd is one of the most talented boxers I've ever seen
