    He (Pacquiao) needs to come out and say he wants to fight Mayweather instead of deferring to Arum. This is coming from a Manny fan. If it's true that Manny isn't pursuing a Mayweather fight, than he's guilty of being as big of a chicken everyone thought Mayweather was.

    There are definitely annoying/stupid fanboys from Pac's camp but the same goes for Mayweather's camp and SamFish is one of them.

    To be fair, Mayweather wanted no part of Pac, when Pac was at the top of his game. If he would have been this "BOLD" after Pac destroyed Cotto, then he might have a point.

    Mayweather's only goal was to wait Pac out.

    Mayweather will never fight Amir Khan. He'll retire before he goes up against him.

    Gayweather fans are now coming out to take advantage of the latest controversy....

    Not so surprising, follow the leader...

    Manny runs that show. Arum has to do whatever he says so I agree with you on Pac needing to make his voice heard if he really wants the fight. Honestly, I don't think Floyd was ever scared of Manny and i don't think Manny is scared of Floyd. I think they both have gigantic egos that have gotten in they way of the fight. No way is Floyd going to give in on drug testing when he's made all the other concessions and outsells Manny on PPV, and I honestly believe Manny has taken steroids in the past and that's why he didn't want drug testing.

    While I agree on the stupidity of fans on both sides, I've always found Sam to be knowledgeable when it came to boxing. I don't post a whole lot though so I'm only speaking on what I've read

    I disagree with that. If Manny agreed to testing they would have already fought. Not absolving Floyd from blame as he has culpability in all this too, but Manny's every bit as guilty. Personally, i'd rather see Martinez/Floyd then Floyd/Pac now.

    I actually think there's a good chance he fights Khan next if Khan doesn't fight Bradley

    That's beyond hypocritical on your end, wouldn't you agree?

    Sign you might be a fanboy:

    1. You have used the term "gayweather" in a post in an un-ironic fashion;
    2. You think everybody who doesn't use the term "gayweather" is obviously a sleeper Floyd Mayweather plant sent to insidiously defame the pinoy nation.
    3. You have alleged that Floyd Mayweather is masterminding an international conspiracy. (this has actually happened on this BBS).

    He called Mayweather's bluff before regarding the whole drug testing stuff. Manny agreed to take the tests. Finally even Mayweather himself had to admit that Manny would take the test.

    Still a fight never happened. Why would this time be different? Mayweather just doesn't like Manny taking the spotlight, and will try and stir up something to get the attention. It's smart business on his part, but he doesn't want to fight Manny.

    I don't really care one way or the other about Pacquiao or Mayweather, but don't think it's worth wasting time over something that will never happen.

    If Floyd wants to the undisputed pound4pound best, he should stop picking smaller fighter. He should fight Martinez on May 5. That's another mega fight that needs to happen next year.

    I forgot to get the memo were it said Hell froze over.

    Floyd ain't going to fight Sergio under no circumstances.

    Besides Sergio is too busy ducking Pirog.

    Unfortunately this is no UFC where a 5-0 fighter can get a title fight.

    Martinez is #3 and Pirog needs to cut a more digit.

    Hey it's okay if you are a Mayweather fan but its ridiculous if you accuse Pacquiao fans of being crazy fanboys when you are the other extreme accusing Pacquiao of using steroids as if it were fact.

    I'm a Pacquiao fan because I think he's good for the sport and exciting fighter to watch. Mayweather is a great boxer and a very smart businessman. I don't think anyone is really that insane like he portrays himself to be. It's part of act like Chael Sonnen in the MMA.

    Anyways I'm definitely not a Pacman fan boy. I acutally thought he lost this last fight or at least it should have been a draw. If I was to bet my house on it I'd put my money on Floyd but I'd still root for Pacquiao to knock Floyd out.

    Regarding point 3 of yours.. You gotta be nuts if you don't think Floyd runs the USADA ... ok i kid.. :grin:

    Ortiz outweighed Floyd by 16-18 pounds on fight night depending on who you ask.

    I like both of these fighters a lot, but this nonsense is never going to end -- say what you will about the UFC, but they make the best fighters actually fight each other.

    Pirog is ranked 5th in the division according to espn.

    Martinez don't want any part of Pirog. Pirog has a complicated style that Martinez would find hard to figure it out. Plus Pirog puts combinations together in unique ways that no other fighter in that division can.

    Make no mistake Martinez is scared.

    I would love to see Pirog vs Julio jr, but does Jr. want this fight? I doubt it.
