    Yeah, he seems like he has always tried to avoid manny. eh, so be it. Both great fighters, not a lot of big name fighters now a days sucks it will probably never happen.

    hey King how does it feel now that Boxing will die because of Mayweather's stubbornness to risk his record? Manny looked to have done all he could in the last couple of months and has the boxing fans on his side more than ever.

    All for a ****y undefeated record. If neither ever fight again Manny will be known as the better fighter in Boxing history.

    I agree.

    I like watching both guys, but undefeated or not, manny has gone up too many weight classes and beaten too many lineal champs. Mayweather will be remembered as the guy who avoided all that. They could have had a three fight series if they wanted to with this.

    Mosley would even kiss Floyd's butt just to get some cash flow into his bank account.

    It was completely random. If I remember correctly Mosely's last test was actually 18 days out. The problem with a cut off date is that it allows athletes to dodge the system. It has to be random or they might as well not do it

    You are only choosing to post one article. There are a variety of them out there. Manny didn't agree to random testing. You won't find a single article that dictates he did. Manny and Floyd both acted rididculous.

    As for either of them killing boxing, not even close. It will still be going strong when we are dead and buried. It will only kill the sport for fans like yourself.

    One thing I will agree on is that as of now I would rank Manny ahead of Floyd in terms of an All-Time list. It's pretty much useless debating though because you look at everything with Pacquaio covered glasses

    Oh, and they will fight next year. I'd bet anything on it.
