Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley May 1: Who R U Picking?

I think it would be a counter punching party for Floyd. Only reason is because Williams doesn't use his height correctly when he boxes. IF he learned how to dominate using his height, then he would definitely gives Floyd a hard time.

 

You, on the other hand have Floyd's gonad planted firmly in your esophagus.

 

They screwed him in the DLH fight and the judging in Castillo 1 was very close (and it should have been. that fight was very close). Floyd's philly shell is why he got hit. The way he rotated he came out basically blind and got tagged for it. I think he'll definitely adjust to that like he did last night. His camp in nothing like Tyson. Floyd makes all his own calls there. The only people getting paid are Roger (10%), L (1%) and Raffa (2%). He threw his dad some money for this fight but I''m not sure how much that was. Tyson just handed out money and had an MC Hameer like posse. Sadly, that's what Manny has too. He's such a good guy that he travels with like 100 people and gives money out like it's nothing. I have personally wotnessed him give out 10 k to 5 or 6 people to go have a good time i Vegas. I think the Philipino leaders take advantage of him. It's sad

 

It would but Paul's workrate alone normally wins him 4 rounds.

 

thumbs down.

 

Paul loses 8-4.

DLH: Mayweather Dictates The Terms, Not Pacquiao

 

You seriously can't compare that Manny to the Pacquiao now. They were two different fighters. The Manny vs Morales, Barrera and Marquez was more of a slugger. The Manny we sen against Diaz, Hatton, DLH, Cotto and Clottey is a more complete boxer-puncher. Go back and look at the tapes. if Manny kept fighting like he did, he would never got past Cotto or Clottey and possibly DLH. Bu thanks to the help of Freddie Roach, he is now a more refined boxer. Steriods don't do that.

There are only two fighters that I see will give Floyd problems, Manny and Paul Williams. They have the work rate to do it.

Pacquiao Will Agree To Drug Testing, With The 24-Day Cut

The biggest fight in boxing is now on the table. Manny Pacquiao dominated Joshua Clottey over twelve rounds at Cowboys Stadium in March. Floyd Mayweather Jr. dominated Shane Mosley on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. There are two issues at hand, the issue of money and the random Olympic-style drug testing. The two sides sat down earlier this year and the two fighters could not agree on the cut-off date for the random drug testing. Following the win over Mosley, Mayweather said the Pacquiao could not be made without the random drug testing being involved.

"If Manny Pacquiao can take a blood and urine test then we have a fight,'' Mayweather said. "If not, no fight.''

According to several reports, Pacquiao watched the fight in the Philippines and afterwards spoke to Manilla radio station DZBB. Pacquiao said that he's willing to agree to the random blood testing, but only if the blood testing has a cut-off date of 24-days.

"For me, as long as the drug test is not done close to the match, I'll agree because if they'll get blood from me close to the match, it will be a disadvantage for me because I'm smaller and he's big,'' Pacquiao said.

The negotiations fell apart earlier this year when Mayweather refused to give Pacquiao a 24-day cut-off on the testing. Mayweather wanted a 14-day cut-off. The next time they negotiate, the deal could be harder to make. Mayweather, according to past interviews, will no longer consider a testing cut-off. He wants the testing to continue until the fight.



So far, so good. 24-day cut-off which was the original plan, can come in to play. That is good enough. I don't see any "window" during that period where you can juice up.

 

Nevermind, I was thinking it said 14-day. No way Money agrees to 24-day.

 

Not sure what you find encouraging about that. Just read the last 2 sentences. In my opinion Floyd will say he's only doing this fight if the blood test can occur up until the day of the fight. Manny will say no, and we'll be right back where we started.

 

With Floyd ducking Manny. The cycle continues.

 

Yeah I know, for some reason I was thinking 14. If this fight doesn't happen, I lose respect for both fighters. Could you imagine a drug test ruining Ali-Frazer or Hagler-Hearns? Too many damn politics in boxing these days. Back then, guys just wanted to fight. Now, all these factors play a part. You know boxing is dying when fans are arguing about PPV numbers. Why the f should fans care about those numbers? What do they do for us?

 

If you are unwilling to take a blood test for 40mil people will have to wonder.

 

I agree manny's a much better boxer. IMO, those are the most impressive wins of his career. Until people give Floyd credit for beating DLH at his natural weight of 154 (not 147 a weight he had not made in 10 years and clearly couldn't) and Hatton (who Floyd ko'd before Manny) then Manny gets no credit for those wins. David Diaz is not a good fighter. Zab Judah, Badomir and Arturo Gatti are all superior oppenents. Cotto is shot because of Margarito. It's sad too. He lost his career in that fight. He basically comes into the ring bleeding. Even though it was obvious Clottey didn't come to fight, Manny gets more credit for that win then any of the other ones. Clottey is a tough fighter and Manny did everything he could to ko him. Clottey decided to just sit in a shell for 12 rounds and collect a paycheck.

If manny fights Floyd it will look like Floyd Gatti. Manny will get absolytely demolished and people will finally admit Floyd is the best boxer of this era.

 

Can't you say the same thing for Floyd? Unlike Shane, Manny has never failed a drug test or had any connections to roids like the Blaco thing or whatever. This fight was signed and done until the random blood testing came into play. So Floyd, doing his usual pre-fight mind games, ended up losing his big pay day also. I don't think Floyd expected Manny to back out so it back fired on Floyd.

 

I think it's a close fight that could go either way. I wouldn't be surprised if either won. Unfortunately, Arum hates Floyd so I doubt he puts PWill in there with him.

 

Floyd's not ducking Manny. Go to any boxing board and see what people say. POF's are completely oblivios to reality

 

Floyd met manny's demands on brand of gloves, glove size and 10 million a pound over penalty. What has Manny conceeded to Floyd?

Floyd's in the driver's seat now because manny put him there. Roach said they wouldn't fight Shane. Floyd just kicked Shane's ass all over the ring. GBP isn't letting Manny fight any of their fighters without Olympic style testing. Manny's is already guilty in the eyes of the public. His only other options right now are margarito(irony at it's finest), Berto or retire. If we don't see this fight it's on manny and nobody else.

 

Floyd is scared of Manny and making excuses.
And
Manny is on steroids and won't agree to blood testing because of that.

I'm so tired of hearing people say these 2 things. Honestly who gives a damn. We've heard it all before. You're not changing anyones mind. Really. You're not.

Christ this fight needs to happen just so we'll have something new to talk about.

 

Only people who are casual boxing fans still care about pac vs money. In reality boxing has so many great fighters and fights now. The super six, timothy bradley, juanma and gambo, berto, Nonito Donaire, Lucian Bute. This is a great time for boxing regardless
