    So you rather have one of the COMBATANTS determine which tests are taken by whom rather than the boxing commission?

    Yeah there's no conflicting interest in that...

    There's no reason why Pacquiao should let Mayweather dictate the terms of the testing. Nor does he have any reason to jump through hoops that Mayweather creates simply to satisfy him. There's no evidence of Manny doing steroids, only speculation... and that speculation comes from a biased and interested party.

    I mean... go the full 9... Manny is going to insist that Mayweather gets a full audit of his finances because Manny "suspects" he's a tax fraud. Mayweather insists on a polygraph because he suspects Pacquiao is cheating on his wife. What other obscure hoops does each fighter need to jump through in order to "man up" by your definition.

    The main problem with getting this fight made is that both Mayweather and Pacquiao can make plenty of money without doing this fight. And it's also that kiss asses and fanboys outnumber the tru fight fans

    There are bozos on the internet fan boying and apologizing for the fighters. If Mayweather knew he HAD to fight Pacquiao to get credit for his pound for pound claim he'd do it. If Pac knew that black fight fans and others would ONLY recognize his claim if he beat Mayweather he'd find a compromise to make it happen. Right now there are apologists running their mouths enough that both fighters can lay a claim to their legacy and their pocketbooks without this fight so they both lay back and milk weaker fights, One guy is running scared setting all kinds of stipulations and the other guy is back in Asia running for Congress. They're both getting rich doing it.

    If you all just stop being apologists and homers for each fighter, there would be a much greater chance that this **** would actually happen

    I'll admit Mayweather didn't run and hide this fight.

    I'll make my donation in 30 days.

    Personally, I don't think Mayweather has anything to prove. The guy is flawless in 41 fights, that is unheard of. Even the best fighters lose at some point but not Floyd. Heck even Manny has 3 losses and 2 ties.

    If this fight is gonna happen, Manny has to agree to Floyd's tests.

    He has plenty to prove. He's never fought a great fighter in their prime and he's never fought a bigger man.

    Manny has been fighting and beating bigger men for the last 3 years.

    Mayweather has been ducking Williams for a long time. Maybe he'll fight him when he turns 36 :cool:

    Williams rematched Quintana and knocked him out in one round, by the way. Williams has improved a lot since then. He still gets hit a lot and doesn't use his height, but he throws a welter of power punches from every angle and takes a hell of a shot.

    No, which is why I was confused by that video. I was hoping it was going to be a highlight package of one of the fights he won

    There is this fighter called Roy Jones Jr. who was just as dominate as Mayweather. Their careers are going down the same path.

    Mayweather's not going to put on and then lose 20 pounds of muscle like Roy did. And Mayweather has the technical skill to be great for a longer period of time. Mayweather's speed is not what it once was (just watched Corrales fight again and Mayweather is clearly not the same physical specimen), but he has all of the tools to beat the man in front of him.
