Is any fighter truly afraid of stepping foot in the ring and proving their dominance over another competitor in front of thousands of rabid sports fans? Mayweather and Pacquiao have yet to fight each other and the fans would like to know why.
Some suggest that Mayweather is afraid. Others suggest Pacquiao should take whatever drug-test necessary to land the fight. In most boxing circles, Mayweather has been identified as the more reluctant individual to fight. Whether this is true or not is not what matters. Public perception finds Mayweather‘s drug-testing demands holding back the fight. If Mayweather is the more reluctant individual, then finding out precisely why he is weary of fighting Pacquiao is key to finding out if this will ever happen or not.
It is clear that undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KO’s) is the best defensive fighter of his generation, if not of all time. As Mayweather was drumbeating his May 5 fight with Miguel Cotto during the New York leg of their promotional tour, the American fighter went on the offensive again, insinuating that Pacquiao uses performance-enhancing drugs, silly and is scared to fight him.
So what do you think is the real reason why this fight will or will not happen anymore?
