    Ya..currently... there simply is no answer to Paquiao. He has been beat before, but how he has progressed in skill, and how he has maintained speed and power with more weight...WOW.

    It's a DRUG test. A higher level of testing? WHat's so ridiculous about it?

    Someone COMES to YOU, takes some urine and blood. I would hardly call that ridiculous. Paquiao is hiding. Plain and simple.

    I'm not sure on what grounds a *definitive* drug test is unreasonable.

    I'm also not sure on what grounds anyone can say mayweather is avoiding the fight. Some people really let Mayweather's idiotic behavior/mouth just influence their sight of reality. LOL. Very Larry Merchant-esque. :-/

    OK... so Manny uses the same testing that all fighters use.... the same testing that Mayweather has used.... the same testing that Mayweather opponents have used.... but now all of a sudden that is good enough with Paquiao.... somehow Mayweather requires a higher level of testing now because all of a sudden Mayweather is so concerned with the integrity of testing in boxing????

    Ya.... right.

    Bottom line... I as with many people assumed Mayweather was just causing drama to hype a fight that would eventually happen... but when Mayweather refuses to fight based on an unreasonable request he has not requested of anyone else.... He's ducking, plain and simple. He only takes fights he think he will win.... and that isn't backing up all the BS that comes out of his mouth.

    Ya... it's hard to keep claiming to be the "Best fighter OF ALL TIME...ever" after getting knocked out.

    Mayweather is definitely either ducking the fight or it is just good marketing. All this crap has just made everyone want it more and more. Now it seems more than ever it is time for it to happen. De La Hoya/ Mayweather is the highest grossing fight at $165 million. This fight would be over 200m. They all know it, there is way Mayweather will not take it because he is a hustler and all about the money. Eventually his greed will over come his fear. Mayweather is a great fighter but Pacquaio is the greatest I have seen in my lifetime. I cannot wait for this fight!

    Mayweather is no fool. He's not going down for chump change. "Posturing" is part of market & the big game these days.

    The fight will happen.

    I read an article the other day on ESPN saying pac man is easing up on not wanting to do the testing during his training, he said he is willing to do the testing up to 14 days prior to the fight rather than 30 plus the standard testing the boxing commision requires so we may see this fight soon ;D

    Hard to say who is going to win this one, both of these guys are awesome boxers...Mayweather has awesome defense and possibly the best hand speed in boxing ever but pac man has great speed, can take a punch, and has KO power in every round.
