my only question why is Manny only fighting at 147? He came in at like 144 for his last fight. It would be easy for him to fight at 140 I would assume.

no it wasnt, Mayweather accepted it and the fight was even scheduled for a date. Then Mayweather asked for the blood tests and Manny said things like he's scared of needles to it makes him to weak before a fight
So the fight was scheduled first and then Mayweather asked for blood tests?

Is that what you're saying?

lol I do, at the same he probably thought to himself if Manny is gonna throw a bitch ass stipulation in I will too. I'm not saying Mayweathers not partly to blame but place full blame is bullshit

manny gave in a bit though, first off he gave in by even entertaining the idea of additional drug testing, second he gave in by allowing random drug testing in addition to the standard boxing drug testing done by the state of nevada, up to 21 days I believe it was the first negotiations. Floyd wouldn't have it threw a fit and the fight was off.

Manny and Shane are already set for May.

Don't worry. Floyd fans, you will now get to see him fight again since the coast is clear. He can now look for an opponent.

I mean, he's already pulled that move twice. Might as well do it 3 times.

what's funny to me is how mayweather tried to pull the whole steroid smokescreen stunt and no other fighter that manny has fought has accused him of it. i understand bein a loyal fan shit, i'm still a fan of the shit mayweather has done in the past, but that don't change the fact that dude is a straight pussy right now.

It's not really steroids though.
It's a-side meth. It is only issued by the military and basically deflects bullets. You can't even test it in urine. It kicks in within minutes of using it and can only be tested by blood, an hour before the fight.

What?
Bullshit?
Whatever, the fight is off then...

Time to retire.
What, Manny signed a fight?
Let's fight Marquez.
Vacation time.
What, Manny signed a fight?
Let's fight Mosley.
Vacation time.
What, Manny signed a fight?
(insert predictable Floyd move here).

Freddie Roach to Shane Mosley: "Sorry but you're too good a fighter for Pacquiao" remember this quote from roach about not wanting to fight Moseley. mysteriously after he get served by floyd, manny is now willing to fight him.

Yeah Manny fans seem to forget that...
Floyd was ready to fight Manny, Manny didn't want to get his blood tested too close to the fight, so he fought Clottey. So Floyd whoops Shane and then goes on vacation. Freddie Roach sees a weakness in Floyd since he almost got knocked out, says his legs are gone, Manny then agrees to the final offer that was on the table in the first round of negotiations that went all the way to mediation.

He said something along those lines but if you recall when he said that pacquiao had never fought at welterweight yet. the jury was still out at that time how pacquiao would look against a real welterweight.

freddie roach quotes are pretty meaningless though because he doesn't make the fights.

Roach was totally against a fight with Margarito, bob arum gets pacquiao margarito.
Roach wanted marquez or berto not shane mosley, bot arum gets pac shane mosley.
etc

Mosley has the style to give Manny problems and beat him. The question is can Mosley get mentally ready to go to war after the Mayweather beating. He looked so gun shy in the Mora fight to me. I think this is going to be a good fight for some reason, two years later then I wanted it to happen but still good. Mosley has real one punch 147lb knockout power, boxing skills, hand speed, head movement, good footwork, and he knows how to hold when he gets hurt. Even a shot Mosley should give Manny a hard fight.. Manny fans are going to be in for a surprise in this fight.

^^styles make fights and pacquiao comes to fight so there is no reason why it shouldn't be a decent scrap for at least a few rounds.

Mosley has the power to hurt pacquiao, at least early on in the fight, so we'll see if pac wants to play that macho shit like he did against cotto/margarito. mosley is a different animal.

thinking about the fight, i'm curious to see nazim richardson and what kind of game plan he comes up for pacquiao.

2-0-Sixx- I feel you 100% i really like this fight. I'm going to be watching. Manny has never faced a boxer bawler with speed and power like Mosley. Manny is easy to hit and doesn't have a jab so Shane should be mantally in the fight the whole time. Nazim should have a good game plan, Mosley will feed off the B-Hop performance too.
