    How plausible does this sound on mayweathers next bouts:

    Maidana, khan, Garcia. ...Pacquiao??

    Ehh ehh?

    Nothing new from your post Swag Flu, all of which I have already commented on.

    Anwyays not really boxing related, but since you are Mexican, I thought you might like this article written by Mexican writer Gustavo Gutiérrez-Mercado who is based in Mexico City, about our other famous world class sportsman:

    http://afootballreport.com/post/79356457375/dissecting-paulino-barcas-first-and-the

    "Alongside boxer Manny Pacquiao, Paulino Alcántara is the most talented sportsman the Philippines has given to the world."

    Messi finally broke Alcantara's record for most goals scored for Barcelona FC last week after 87 years.

    Well Manny won by a unanimous decision in an entertaining match with Bradley. No help from the judges this time for Tim.

    I think we fans should start harassing Mayweather so he will step up to the table and fight Manny. I can't believe we will be deprived of the best fight of this era, because of both boxer's inability to compromise.

    good dominant performance from pacquiao. The fans have been nagging the Mayweather vs Pacquiao match to happen for some time. Doesnt seem to be working.

    Finally Manny does something meaningful in a while. Even though I didn't get to watch the fight due to blogging on the Galaxy-Whitecaps game. Will take a look via archives.

    More so Mayweather than Manny. When Manny was on top he was willing to split the purse 51-49 but Mayweather laughed thinking he was still the top fighter. He knows maanny is the only real competition so why jeopardize a perfect record?

    I agree. I think that Showtime will also pressure Mayweather into agreeing to fight Manny, especially if the ratings don't improve(just like the Guerrero match where the promotion was rumored to have lost money) with any other potential opponents who will be overmatched by Floyd. There are no longer any fighters with big fan bases like Canelo to rely on. If I were a fan, I wouldn't watch any more of Floyd's fights until he agrees to the match with Manny to increase the pressure.

    Mayweather decided to match Maidana's style and got punished for it. If he decided to box instead, the results would have been different. Floyd still won but lost a lot of credibility because of the closeness of the match.

    Yeah medically the only other reason I can think of is a bacterial or viral rash, which is highly unlikely and will come with other symptoms that will prevent him from fighting. Very suspicious indeed.

    apparently they didn't have drug testing for this fight either, and Max Kellerman also voiced his doubts behind scenes with some web series interviewer. On another note, I really don't wish to see another Pac- Marquez fight, I've had enough of those. Nor do I care for a Pac vs Ruslan fight, or a Mayweather- Maidana rematch or a Mayweather-Khan. Pac Mayweather damnit.

    Pac just signed a 2 year contract with Arum so the chances of an agreement with Pac and Mayweather has just diminished tremendously. Next fight for Pac is Marquez if Marquez agrees to it. I think they are doing it in Macau to avoid US taxes and Arum says they wouldn't be as dependent on PPV because of the site fees they will receive over there. VADA random testing should be required for this match if this pushes through.

    Not to mention his training was involved with the baseball doping saga....

    That is why Conte wants Heredia investigated. This is even worse than the biking scandal in the Tour de France, since boxing involves hurting other people and not just yourself.

    Yeah I am thinking of sending this articles and video to Senator McCain so he can use it to convince Congress to forge a change in how boxing is run in this country. Anybody here from Arizona?

    If Marquez and Pacquiao five takes place. Both fighters should just admit they're doping and get on with it in Macau. It's so painfully obvious what they're doing.

    You do realize Conte was the man who taught Ariza about PEDs? If you can raise suspicion about Marquez using them. Don't turn a blind eye on Pacquiao. The guilty by association applies to both fighters.
