    Mosley was too old, but that's the way Money likes it. That said, Money is a great fighter and he didn't dodge around he fought a great exciting fight. I don't know if Manny can beat him.

    I think that Sergio Martinez can beat him and would beat him, but there is no way Money takes that fight.

    I agree, but you can't blame a WW for not fighting the middleweight champion of the world.

    I'm calling bull on that, Manny needs to man up and take the fair tests. It's as simple as that, we don't want a cheater winning the fight.

    Why doesn't he ask these demands of all people he fights? Maybe because this is the one guy he's scared of.

    The tests that Manny agreed to are more then what boxing requires. Money needs to stop dodging Pac and they need to do this fight before they are both out of their primes.

    So urine tests at any time, blood testing before the conference and after the fight not enough?

    Floyd wants to fight on an even playing field.

    Manny doesn't want to be subjected to random blood tests.

    Solution: Both should take PEDs and see who wins.

    Mosley admittedly he "unknowingly" took steroids in 2003. Money would be an idiot to NOT make Mosley adhere to these tests

    Floyd wants the Olympic style tests, for a fight this big we should have the best blood testing possible.

    Is Mayweather more scared of Pacquiao than Pacquiao is scared of needles?

    The whole thing's ridiculous. Both guys know they can lose the fight so they want to have their demands met 100%. Mayweather has his "0" on the line (his main meal ticket), and half of the Phillipines would walk into the ocean if Pacquiao lost. There's a lot at stake and both guys are scared.

    Mayweather shouldn't be, though. He fights like a big man and has all the tools to beat Manny.

    Who cares. We all know this fight will happen, but it's going to happen when both fighters are washed up.

    Gayweather is a chicken ****. They even stated that the boxing commissioner would step in and take both side consideration and Manny would do what the commissioner require him to do. But Gayweather doesn't want any part of it. He want it his way just to screw with Manny's head. By the look of tonight fight. Manny will destroy Gayweather. Mosley almost knock him out but didn't have anything in the tank.

    Right, I guess it was illogical for me to even consider Manny taking PEDs. He would NEVER do such thing! :rolleyes: He's a role model!

    You never know when you are up against arguably your match. He could lose confidence in his self and decide to cheat. I'm not saying that is Pacquiao's demeanor but stranger things have happened.

    Oh, I didn't know you measured his biceps and was able to come to conclusion that his biceps did not meet the requirements of a steroid user. My mistake, you win. :rolleyes:

    That's why he came in overweight against JMM.

    By the way, Floyd is not scared of pac. Floyd does everything like this as a ego boost and nothing more.

    I do think that tonight Money tried to curry good will with the fans, with the way he fought and his interview afterwords. He wasn't arrogant as he's been.

    Who are these guys going to fight other then each other. I would like to see one of them fight paul williams, but that is even less likely.
