    They only got caught after the test because the NSAC rules only require a test after the fight and a few months before it. If they took it sometime within the week, they could get caught too. How do you see the USADA as all business? Can't NSAC be all business too?

    Ok how about a 14-day cutoff for the blood testing? It was the original final offer and seems like Manny is okay with 14-days. Surely, it has to happen now. Mayweather said so himself, drug test or no fight. :cool:

    I've said this before: Mayweather pushing the blood test on fighters and not on the Nevada State Athletic Commission which is the regulatory body is dumb.

    Money May> Pacman

    Pacquio has fought a bunch of hand selected opponets. Every fighter he has fought has either aggresive offensive style except Clottey which is a deffensive fighter with no counter ability. He has never fought a deffensive boxer who is a dominate counter puncher.

    Lol really? Knocking Manny for hand selected opponents? Same can be said about Floyd and even many other boxers. Floyd even gets criticized for cherry picking opponents that give him a sure win. That's how you build a boxers career. You give him opponents that he should beat and when he's ready, you test him with the big dogs. If Manny gets critized for his opponents, so should Money.

    Is it really that difficult to give credit to both boxers? I swear the floyd lovers and manny lovers are extremely annoying. Same stuff over and over.

    Nevermind, disregard this. Apparently, Manny has denied making this statement and doesn't even know the guy(s) who run the website. So much for that website being the official voice of MP. :rolleyes:

    didnt watch the fight but it ended exactly how i expected. I may have been more interested if it was against a younger shane. I didnt even know he boxed anymore until this fight popped up

    pac/mayweather...it shouldnt be that difficult.

    I hope you posted this after Pacquiao's fight with Clottey. It was a boring unanimous decision. Floyd took the fight to Shane.

    Stop hating

    I still want to see Shane vs Pacman hopefully that will be pacman next fight. (olympic blood test due to Golden boy promotions might prevent it.)

    It will. GBP isn't letting any of their fighters fight Manny unless he agrees to tyesting. That's why a fight with JMM didn't happen and Arum is stuck to offering Manny Margarito (who cares) and Berto (solid opponent but I think Manny kos him easy)

    :confused: Huh? I don't know what you mean. In my time here I've probably fed the tipjar more than you, sir.
    He took the fight to Shane? Only AFTER he got rocked... and after . After that, he ran around. He didn't take the fight to Shane. Why couldn't he knock out Shane? What, no knockout power? Please. If you think "hating" is asking him to stop using his elbow or holding people down with his off hand, then more power to you, sir.

    I'm tired of these boxers that... no, wait, I'm tired of these dancers made boxers. Sure he can withstand a second-round punch to the face, sure he can last and run around for 12 rounds and WIN. Sure. If that makes you happy, OK. :eek: Stop comparing yourself to Ali, Frazier, even Mike. You didn't have the power to send people to the canvas and make them stay there, "money."

    Hopefully he can stop "dancing around" and just sign for the goshdarn Pacman fight.

    the art of boxing is not getting hit. that's why experts consider him pound for pound the best, because he's the best "boxer"

    Swoly, he landed nearly as many punches as Shane threw the whole night. He dominated Shane. He absolutely controlled Shane. To say otherwise is ridiculous.

    You have this notion that boxing is slugging, and you couldn't be more wrong. It's the "sweet science." It's not about KO's, though Mayweather certainly has his share of those...including knocking out Hatton just a few fights back. In fact, 25 of his 41 wins have been knockouts. Are you sure you've been watching?

    But it minimizes the career of lots of great middleweights to talk about them solely in terms of knockouts. 41-0 speaks for itself, swoly.

    You are obviously incapable of having a rational discussion on this subject. Even the boxing writers who can't stand Floyd gave him credit for an impressive victory. Nobody has ever stopped Shane Mosely. It's not Floyd's fault he isn't a power puncher. He also has had bad hands since the amatuers. Not that your going to travel outside of your Pacquiao fantasy land to taste a little reality.
