If Pacquiao gets voted in for the Welterweights I will shoot myself, I just don't rate Burley Jeff, over rated nobody as far as i'm concerned

Fair enough, your entitled to your opinion, bufoonish as it may be. BTW how does the foes feature on here work again?

by Imperial Ghosty Wed Jun 01, 2011 5:07 pm

Bufoonish my opinion is not

His best wins were also against average face first plodders in Moore, Chase, Williams, Smith and Zivic, get some perspective here Rowley

by Rowley Wed Jun 01, 2011 5:08 pm

Moore described as a face first plodder. Azania would be proud of you Ghosty

by Imperial Ghosty Wed Jun 01, 2011 5:09 pm

Was I convincing though?

Who bet a Pacquiao win by corner retirement?

Saw that on the Ring's website yesterday Scott, but i dare not report it.

Looks like Mosley's unwillingness to engage was a result of "not being able to move" (his own words)

Brother Nas should've listened, was yours truly who was banging on about the corner retirement!

Good article by one of the best current writers IMO on Manny's style:

Well said Lumbering Jack

Roach has said before that he worries he'll waste his money.

Problem is Manny is as thick as Siht and get's bent over on his deals.

Arum gets something like a 27% cut of his earning, then Roach and Ariza and Fatty Buboy want their cut and that's before that leach Koncz comes along!

People have said Koncz has gone but Manny will get another guy soon enough to wipe his bottom.

i dont feel sorry for anyone who ONLY has £26 million. needs more? fight mayweather...

'Pacquiao Darts' to help improve Pinoys' math skills

Manny Pacquiao teamed up with a darts manufacturing company to officially release a new line of darts product named after him.

"Pacquiao Darts," which is manufactured by Target Darts UK, is now available in several sports outlets in the Philippines.

However, former sports commentator John McDonald said that the launch of Pacquiao Darts is more than just selling a product.

He said they wanted help Pacquiao in his campaign to improve Filipino youths' mathematical skills.

“Some people may not know the education side of darts. And as a congressman now, he a lot of ability now to try to create some youth work and we wanted to help him with that,” McDonald said on ANC's Hardball.

Pacquiao says agrees to random blood tests and there is no issue over blood testing.

Oh hell no.

by TRUSSMAN66 Wed Sep 07, 2011 6:48 pm

Don't worry scotty....It's only a short visit...not like the Mccrory article was to test the waters or anything. thumbsup

by BALTIMORA Wed Sep 07, 2011 7:12 pm

That video's four months old. It's not news.

by Scottrf Wed Sep 07, 2011 7:13 pm

Is there a 'Manny Olds' thread?

by BALTIMORA Wed Sep 07, 2011 7:16 pm

I don't know, but I'm thinking coxy was right.

MANNY SEEMS TO BE ANGLING FOR ANOTHER GET OUT CLAUSE OR MANOUVRE TO SQUEEZE EXTRA DOSH FROM A FIGHT HE MIGHT KNOW HE CANT WIN!!! DISCUSS!

http://www.fighthype.com/pages/content10701.html

by BALTIMORA Wed Sep 07, 2011 7:35 pm

Typical. I'm sick of these two idiots by now.

by D4thincarnation Mon Sep 12, 2011 7:36 pm

USADA not going to test the fighters 48 hours before the fight because it will negatively affect the fighters.

So with this 2 day cut off, do you still think it is random testing?

I have said for a long time that taking blood when a fighter is cutting weight can reduce a fighters performance and cause other problems and it seems like the anti-doping experts agree with me.

by TRUSSMAN66 Mon Sep 12, 2011 7:44 pm

Who cares.......Give it a rest.

by **HumanWindmill** Mon Sep 12, 2011 7:45 pm

Pity they didn't say it when it mattered, then.

We might have seen the showdown we all wanted to see.

by TRUSSMAN66 Mon Sep 12, 2011 7:46 pm

Cue "Mayweather is a ducker..........."

by **HumanWindmill** Mon Sep 12, 2011 7:54 pm

Better not.

by ONETWOFOREVER Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:00 pm

So why are fights not stopped when a fighter gets a bloody nose.

Rubbish from D4. No one knows if their is any truth to Manny and PEDS but he is suspect in my view.

by BALTIMORA Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:07 pm

Sure they're not talking about blood donors..?

by sherm Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:08 pm

Predictable repetitive rubbish

by **HumanWindmill** Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:08 pm

In terms of any Pacquiao v Mayweather fight it would appear to be moot, anyway. Latest news I have read is that Pacquiao has refused to be tested by USADA.

by TRUSSMAN66 Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:10 pm

Probably have a fake Winkle anyway with natural pee....most athletes do or did..

by sherm Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:17 pm

Not that anyone will care for my opinion, i`ll give it anyway
Regular reader but infrequent poster due to not been sure on having the time to reply,
At first I thought d4 was funny but over time I realize I now pity him,
how do I use this foe thingy again?

by D4thincarnation Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:20 pm

When will be the last time Mayweather and Ortiz will be tested?

In the Mosley fight it was 19 days before the fight.

by **HumanWindmill** Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:23 pm

What difference does it make when Mayweather and Ortiz are tested ?

by TRUSSMAN66 Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:23 pm

"not tested enough"..shows that "Mayweather is a ducker"...."Means Manny is the greatest"

You're not interested in Boxing or when Mayweather is going to get tested again.....

Only interest is to see how many more people you can get on here to feel sorry for you ....

Post on the Vit-Haye thread or something..

by TRUSSMAN66 Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:25 pm

By the way Windy let me know what you think of Mickey Duff will you...For some reason you Brits are pretty cool on the guy and I don't know why.

I will do, Truss, but it might not be till tomorrow, as I won't be around much longer, tonight. The guy is known mostly for domestic fighters, but he rubbed shoulders with a few top Americans, too, if I remember rightly. Certainly an institution in British boxing.

Will drop a comment tomorrow.

by Sir. badgerhands Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:28 pm

It's a crying shame that on a boxing forum we can't have a serious discussion on two of the finest boxers of our time.

Manny and Floyd seem like the full moon, tend to bring the nutters out.

by Rowley Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:30 pm

Just had a lovely steak for my tea

by Sir. badgerhands Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:31 pm

Good for you Rowley.

Wife has put me on a health food kick.

Pasta and very little meat hasn't really cut it for me!!

by TRUSSMAN66 Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:32 pm

fillet, sirloin, t-bone or rump................

Me I like a good ol USA T-BONE...........

by D4thincarnation Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:32 pm

HumanWindmill wrote:What difference does it make when Mayweather and Ortiz are tested ?

I've heard rumours that they are not going to test 14 days before the fight because of it causing an potential arm infection.

Be interesting to see if USADA again test outside the 14 day mark.

by Rowley Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:33 pm

Been trying to lose a bit myself Balti, got to have meat though, cutting down on booze is a heavy price to pay though

Sirloin Truss, we're just not all manly enough for the T-Bone

by **HumanWindmill** Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:35 pm

Okay, chaps,

In the interests of goodwill I was prepared to let this run for a few posts even though it is patently a reworking of the old Manny / Floyd stuff. It's headed down the same, predictable route, so I'm going to place it where it belonged in the first place.

Five minutes for you to know where it is and I'll then merge it into ' Manny news.'

Almost forgot :

by Adam D Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:38 pm

And just to add to Windy's comments, I would love to see a food section in off topic if someone wants to start one

as you can tell from the calzaghe interview footage, I like a pie or two.

by Davie Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:38 pm

A serious question for you guys who seem to be in the know...

With the state of medical science as it is today, how much of a sample would really be needed to test for drugs?

I would have thought that just a little Tinkywinky would be enough to pacify the doubters here
