huh?

EVERYBODY respects Pacquiao.

Just because people question why he wont take the tests doesnt mean they think he's garbage

you could tell in this recent post-fight floyd doesn't really want the fight.. he eventually said what he needed to say.. there is no way this fight ever happens. he will spin it a different direction.

people just want a fight or any sporting event clean, and they have the right with all the athlete's juicing up today to get a edge. Moseley looked like he needed some juice tonite compared to his demolition of Margarito.

most of mayweather's fans all say it would be a cake walk.. theres a lack of respect for manny by the masses and i just don't get that..

atleast most of manny's fans will acknowledge floyd is a great defensive fighter.

edit: it doesnt matter in terms of anything else except that i question why manny doesn't get the respect he deserves. especially considering manny is such an explosive offensive fighter and continues to get better every time.

mosley did not have a killer look tonight.. like he had against magarito. i didn't get that at all. he usually loves the me against the world mentality.. he didn't seem to want it tonight. i still think mayweather wins big over him.. but i was very disappointed in his mentality tonight. i question his motives.. plus the fact that he didn't even put his welterweight belt on the line.. i didn't like that.

mayweather declined to fight for the belt because he didn't want to pay the WBC (or whatever) 3% of his purse... which is awesome IMO.

The belt wasn't on the line because Floyd didn't want to pay the 3% commision to the governing body. That wasn't Shanes call

it is on his part.. i just wish mosley had more at steak tonight. it still wouldn't of made much different. i think floyd looked sharp tonight.

there's no point in any more bittering.. if it happens great.. i just don't think it will. manny's camp has openly come out this past week willing to try to work it out again.. floyd's camp isn't exactly calling manny out. again it doesn't matter bittering back n forth. hopefully it can just happen.

thats ignorant.

i'm saying there is no other fight out there for him if he wants to continue his fighting.. unless he wants to climb weight.. which i doubt his punk arse does.

just watch how this thing plays out after manny's camp agrees to the 14 day pre-fight testing. watch mayweather's make it about another issue such as money split.. or even want to change the testing again. just watch how it plays out over this next week. and come back and tell me i'm wrong. i would LOVE to be wrong.

the question is, which other fighter besides pacman can mayweather fight and sell it as a ppv?

more options are out there for pacman.

There is no other fight for either of them. However, if neither fight again Floyd will retire undefeated and his legacy is secured. Manny will be remember as a great fighter but unless he fights and beats Floyd he's nothing special.

What did tonight prove? That Mayweather is too fast for an old arse man? Who didn't see this coming honestly?

Nothing special? Pacquiao is the only fighter who has held a title in 7 different weight classes.

I think that's pretty special.

ok you who say Floyd needs Manny are crazy. Floyd made $50 in 2 fights in 1 year. Manny makes his own $, now this fight would make more $ than any fight in the history of boxing but they both have enough $ without it.

after the 2nd round Floyd went back to BOXING, not fighting. if everytime you throw a punch you get whacked in the face you would eventually stop throwing punches too. After the 2nd round Shane threw some more right hand hooks but they never landed and when your game plan is not working against 1 of the best it messes w/your head! Changes your plans and it's hard to come up w/a new plan in the middle of a fight. Not saying it can't be done just saying it's hard.
