Quote Brentmiester_General at 09 May 2015 12.52am

Mayweather has dodged PacMan for years. There's no doubt about that. He's watched his light fade and then agreed to fight him. Wouldn't expect anything less from Mayweather. 5 years ago PacMan was putting on some of the most impressive diaplays in the ring that I have witnessed in my 35 years. To say that Maywether would still have beaten him when Manny was in his prime is just wrong. There's no telling now which way it would have gone though but I think, over the course of a few fights(which is what we should have had) the decisions would have been shared.
Ultimately Maywether has robbed us of what could have been some of the most thrilling boxing bouts in the sports history. This, as well as the woman bashing is why I will never respect him.


Disagree, think the gap would have been wider.

One has to question Pacquiao's reluctance to take a blood test coinciding with his quite incredible rise through the weight classess whilst seemingly increasing his explosive punching power which was then followed by a huuuuuuuge decline in speed and power when drug testing was suggested and rejected.

5 years down the line and miraculously, Pacquiao can now handle a blood test that would normally "significantly weaken" him.

The guy is still a legend in my eyes, more so for how he conducts himself outside of the ring.

So you are suggesting Pacquiao took steroids ?

And you think that is unusual among sportsmen ?

Although this fight did huge business, it's amazing how many of these super fights are an anti climax. I get that Mayweather is technically very good, but I loved the old ITV days of Ben, Eubank and Collins.

I'm suggesting it's a possibility. And no, i don't think it's unusual. What i think is unusual is how often it's suggested Mayweather dodged Pacquiao but no the other way, considering the facts.

I agree with you. Spen the better part of the build up to the fight watching Hagler/Hearns/Robinson/Duran fights.

They were epic.

Well why would Pacquiao avoid Mayweather ? Surely it was in his interests to fight him but not necessarily the other way around.

He may have had no choice but to avoid him due to the PED's he may have been taking.It's important to remember that Mayweather originally agreed to the fight with the stipulation that random blood testing was carried out.

It was Pacquiao who wouldn't agree to that and thus "dodged" the fight.

Pacquiao might have refused the conditions but Mayweather would have know that he had no choice.
If he really wanted the fight he would not have insisted on any conditions.

Which suggests he knew something we didn't.

It's not exactly an unreasonable demand. Many have agreed since, including Pacqiuao. Had he agreed then, the fight would have gone ahead.

But if Mayweather did know that Paquiao was on the gear, then he would also know that he couldn't submit to blood testing. Therefore Mayweather cleverly avoided the fight.
