Fans of Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KO’s) may cry and complain that Floyd Mayweather Jr. (41-0, 25 KO’s) refuses to fight Pacquiao, but you need to stop and realize that Pacquiao and Bob Arum blew their chance to fight Mayweather when they wouldn’t agree with what Mayweather wanted with the random blood testing. Pacquiao had the perfect opportunity to fight Mayweather during their negotiations in January of this year when Mayweather asked for the drug testing to be stopped at 14 days before the fight. Pacquiao wouldn’t agree to anything closer than 24 days. That’s where ended. Who’s fault was it that the fight didn’t get put together? Pacquiao should have groveled and been submissive to Floyd. I’d say it was Pacquiao’s fault because why not agree to the 14 days that Mayweather wanted when it was a small amount of blood that was going to be taken from Pacquiao. It wasn’t as if they were going to drain quarts of blood from Pacquiao’s body and leave him a dried out husk. If you ask me, that was the missed opportunity for the fight to have been made. Everything else was agreed upon except the blood testing. 24 days? Man, that it is too much time in between blood testing and that was the missed opportunity.

Great point made by this author. Go drink some Javex. People act like Manny needs this fight. He doesn't. Mayweather on the other hand has a suspect resume for the past several years.
suspect resume? Their last couple opponents have been almost identical. De la Hoya, Hatton, Marquez all among the last fighters both of them have faced.
Yeah they've both been piddling around recently getting paid and taking pretty safe fights. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about Mayweather rushing up from lightweight to welterweight.
