Fam, we share a lot of the same views but there is no way in hell there is any validity to any of Manny's statements concerning Steroids?!?!?! He is feeling the heat now, I guess because now that Shane has said 'Fuck IT! Test me!' he is looking a LOT more suspect with his resistance. That's one of the biggest ploys in the world, when you've run out of reasons and excuses, play stupid!!!
I just pulled this one last week on my wife so I know that's the truth.
To me, it's never been about liking Floyd or disliking Manny just not seeing how Manny's excuses sound to real world ears. I said, and agreed with anyone that said, Floyd was bullshitting and trying to fuck with Manny with this (he probably has real concerns but that wasn't the primary issue)but he couldn't have thought dude wouldn't agree to testing and would not fight.
I love to play the devils advocate with these matters too, but I couldn't even co-sign with Manny on this!!! I for damn sure call bullshit, in Engish, Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilokano, Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, Kapampangan, Bikol, Albay Bikol or whatever the fuck language he speaks!!! Bullshit is Bullshit!!! This is Bullshit!!!
I wasn't going at Merce... but Zef has to stop the bullshit. Buk had the decency to disappear, but this nigga is stretching the fabric of reality with this shit. First of all, I know niggas who can only speak broken english and they would be able to explain that phrase with no problem in their native tongue and in the most broken up English you would ever hear. The nigga isn't explaining the chemical foundation of any PED, he is simply explaining whatever or not he's fuck with them. If the nigga is getting tripped up on that he shouldn't be speaking period. Also I can't believe for one second that after all the bullshit with this situation that Manny's team would not step in if there was a misunderstanding about what he was trying to say. The whole team is trying to play innocent in this matter and the motherfuckers is buying the shit like it's Bush saying we need to go to Iraq. In this analogy Roach and Arum are Cheney and Rove... these niggas know way more than they are letting on.
Zef acts like this is Manny's first interview in English. It's not even the first interview on this subject. It's been Topic 1 since December and he's still bumbling around for at least decent sounding reasons.
I was giving Roach the benefit of the doubt since he and Manny only really seem to get together for training and maybe he didn't know but the more he talks, the more he looks like he's involved in hiding something.
Arum's just trash. Dude was openly defending Margarito after they found the illegal handwraps. Boxing will be better off once Arum and his ilk have gotten out of the business.
The only time a nigga will act like he doesn't know anything including the concept of the topic at hand is either hiding something or an idiot. I refuse the idea that nigga is an idiot because when he talks in English he doesn't come off that way unless he is talking about this issue. Also, after all this shit going down you mean to tell me that if you been accused of something for months that you didn't understand that you would not pick up a newspaper, a book, google it or even ask a motherfucker to get caught up on the issue.....
Say it again for the non-believers.

Exactly fam. Dude is far from dumb. Not having a formal education and being an idiot are 2 very different things. Manny is actually a smart guy but dude comes off like he has an extra chromosome whenever the whole PED issue comes up.
Off-topic, snowed in and my girl's giving me the evil eye, time to log off, I'll be back later. But I was thinking about making a "greatest robberies in boxing" thread. Can you guys give me an idea of some fights I should post up? I just finished uploading Whitaker/Chavez.
Don't let talking to us get you in trouble at home. We're cool and all but you can't come stay with me. You'd have to log on from the library or something.
DLH vs. Felix Sturm. Just a horrible, horrible rip off, of a fight and a decision. I was already rooting for Bernard to beat Oscar but when I saw that, I hoped he knocked him out.
You may have to differentiate between close fights that could go either way and a true robbery. I see Hopkins/Taylor I mentioned but that was more a close fight than a robbery where B-Hop came on strong late after giving away the first half of the fight.
