    Mayweather -165 over Pacquiao?? I'm switching camps
    and taking Manny +145ish.

    I'm worried that Floyd would be out pointed. Judges normally give the power puncher the benefit of the doubt but I'm starting to think Floyd will not be active enough and play defense. Pacquiao's ability to rack up points is truly amazing. I still think Sugar Ray Leonard was the better boxer but even that opinion is in jeopardy and fading with every Pacquiao fight.

                They are both worse then each other in terms of trying to get the fight done.

                  If you remember correctly, Manny agreed to the style of drug testing Floyd's camp wanted. Floyd then came up with a diff bs reason not to fight.

                  I hope these two fukks are called out for the rest of their lives if this fight never happens. Complete fuking bullshit to the sport of boxing if this fight does not go down.

                    Why won't Manny agree to Olympic style drug testing? Even if the Nevada athletic/boxing commission doesn't require the test to be done, if it's good enough for some of the best athletes in the world as a means to ensure fair play, why won't Manny agree if he has absolutely nothing to hide? Clearly Mayweather has concerns that the current methods of drug testing can be manipulated, and so before he's willing to risk tarnishing his perfect record, he wants to know that the fight is on equal ground.

                    And let's not repeat the "fear of needles" or "superstition" of having blood drawn X amount of time prior to a fight. That just sounds silly from a professional fighter, and I'm surprised his camp even spit it out as reasoning.

                    He only agreed if it was at least X amount of time before or after the fight, taking away the 'random' part of the Olympic style drug testing.

                      Manny wanted 21 days, Floyd wanted 14 days before fight. Manny agreed next to doing testing any amount of time before fight, just not fight day.

                        Okay, I guess that prompts the question of "why".

                        It seems to me that Manny must have his reasons. If they both have blood drawn, or are both tested in the same manner at the same time, there's no disadvantage. The superstition or belief that he'd be harming his chances in the fight from the Manny camp if having blood drawn X amount of time prior to, or on the day of seem silly. If Floyd can do it, why can't Manny?

                        I hope they fight. Mayweather is clearly the better defender of the two, and I believe he's a smarter boxer as well, but there's no denying how efficient and aggressive Pacquaio is. Mayweather would be rolling the dice taking it to the scorecards with the nature of boxing, but if he wanted to force the issue, I think he could end the fight anyway. With all the doubters and hype, it wouldn't surprise me if we saw a more aggressive Floyd looking for a knockout.

                          Floyd will talk shit, then find another excuse not to fight and his ^ nuthuggers will keep riding his nuts. Same old story with Floyd he always ducked the top competition.

                            Come on you know how superstitious athletes can be lol!

                            This brings up the next thing, are there actually PED that exist that can be flushed from your system within hours? This was Manny's camp's worry against Margarito. But do these even exist?

                              Would be shocked if this fight happens anytime soon. Floyd has some major legal issues to deal with before he can sign on for the fight. Don't believe all the b.s. about the drug testing being a sticking point. It boils down to money and Arum's insistence on making sure he and Manny get the lion share of ppv money. Floyd wants a fair cut and Arum's distaste for Floyd leaving him years back is what is holding the fight up.

                                The Olympic style is not at the same time. One fighter could be tested on fight night and the other not. But Manny did agree to the testing. Mayweather is ducking.

                                  Not necessarily true. I heard his legal problems could be over a year away, so thats all of 2011 he has to fight.

                                          That was the last line I saw before testinggate sunk the bout. My Philippine connections say the fight will be April 1st ish in Vegas. I would expect Mayweather will open this time in the -145 range but who knows??

                                              Floyd will need the money at some point so the fight will happen.IMO If SBR John is correct and it happens around April that would be cool. If Floyd is the favorite Manny will be a great bet.

                                                  Olympic style drug testing needs to be done year round otherwise its pointless. Fans just wanna see a good fight. Mayweather says hes trying to clean up the sport yet he shoots xylocaine into his fists before every fight. Manny said yes to the drug testing and Mayweather said I'm on vacation lmao

                                                                  Floyd has never been hit like Manny would hit him. And unlike a year ago, Manny has ALL the leverage. Mayweather needs Manny not the other way around.
