:headscratch:

The Mayweather fight hopefully will come to fruition

http://boxscorenews.com/pacquiao-destroys-margarito-still-calling-out-floyd-mayweather-jr-p8376-68.htm
Mayweather needs to fight Pac plain & simple, like the article says, if he wants to cement his place in the boxing history books as something more then just a footnote this fight needs to happen.  I think that Mayweather is afraid to fight Pac because he knows that with this fight he's not guaranteed to win and he's using the steroid thing as just an excuse.

pac already agreed to as late as 7 days before and right after the fight blood testing.
i think mayweather wants anytime up to and including right before the fight blood testing.

pac doesnt want that, last time blood got drawn from him was right before morales-1 fight.
nevada s.a.c. said they "lost" his blood sample so they insisted on drawing blood from him
during the time frame he was dehydrating (to make weight for weigh-in later in the evening.)
try not eating/drinking water a full day before you donate blood, you'll see how that feels yourself.

floyd wants to use that to his advantage. weaken pac before he gets into the ring.
or does he really believe that HGH, steroids, etc. works in as little as six days, and cant be detected
through blood test/urine/hair sample right after the fight?

there is no other explanation. floyd IS scared. now he's looking at 35 years jail in NV for felony assault, robbery/theft.

just for further proof that floyd is silly scared to lose his all-important zero loss,
he didnt bother making contract weight for his fight against the much smaller j.m. marquez.

greatness is not achieved by having a perfect record, but by never failing to rise each time one stumbles.
floyd will never get this.  ;)

I would put the best boxing has against the best MMA has. I would bet my life that it would end within 2 mins with the MMA completely owning the boxer. And that 2 mins is the boxer running for his life for 1:55

That would depend on what rules the fight were being fought by.
I suspect each would dominate in their own rules setting

Not necessarily, boxers are only trained in boxing, but MMA guys are not only trained boxers, their also trained in the martial arts.  In MMA you basically have 2 kinds of fighters, you have guys that specialize in whats called "ground & pound" where they are good at submissions & fighting on the ground, then you have guys called "strikers" who are good at fighting on their feet..  Now I think that a striker from MMA would have a decent chance at beating a boxer, but I doubt that a boxer would have much of any shot at beating an MMA fighter.
