The most awaited match for pound for pound king is will be canceled because of Mayweather's management insisted of a Olympic style random drug testing which will be administered by the United States Doping Agency.
According to Bob Arum the promoter of Manny the demand was "absolutely crazy" done to simply harass Pacquaio who is squemish about needles and is proof that mayweather doesn't really want the fight.
On the Pacman's side according to Freddie roach his fighter is willing to cooperate with the test but roach won't allow his boxer Manny to drawn blood 48 hours before the fight.
Michael Koncz,Pacquiao adviser and de facto manager said pacquiao beleives drawing blood so close to a competition harms the body but the boxer is willing to have his blood drawn a month away from the fight as a compromise.
If the Fight will be cancel then the Pacquio team is eying for Paul Malignaggi an Italian Professional boxer.Former IBF junior welterweight chamnpion.
Now question for all of you my dear friends what can you say about this latest issue on both pound for pound kings? Is Manny hiding something on his blood or is it Floyd doing anything just to cancel the fight or probably making a way to weaken Manny?Is Manny afraid of needles or is it Floyd that is afraid to lose the Pound for Pound title?What is your reaction?

I think Mayweather is just afraid of Manny so his camp is making crazy demands. He just could not directly say he is afraid so he just wanted to turn off Manny so that the fight will not push through. Manny has no more to prove. He has proven that he is the greatest pound for pound boxer as of this date and until a better one emerges in the future. If I were Manny, I will not waste time with Mayweather. After all, he has all the fame and the money already.

Hello there! I've posted a topic almost like this. Well, for me this is what I am afraid of...mayweather camp will do everything to weaken Pacquiao. Pacquaio is right about drawing blood before the fight, that's what happened to him in the 1st Pacquiao-Morales fight. This issue only proves that Pacquiao is the real pound for pound king and mayweather camp is just a laughing stock of boxing world! They are only good in trash talking and cheating and now a gossip master! I hope Pacquiao push through the libel case against them to teach them a lesson. And if he will fight Malignaggi I think it will be a sure win for Pacquiao, I saw him fight and he has a weak body and jaw that's why it's a win-win for Manny.
Pacquiao is not afraid of needle, he only wants it a month before the fight not a day before the fight. Mayweather is not a pound for pound king anymore, he's a scary cat trying divert things so people will not see that he's so afraid and scared of Pacquiao. Because he knows Pacquiao can knock him out brutally, he will not be pretty boy anymore if that happens!
