Mayweather was in the right as far as the KO goes. People are going to try to diminish the win because they hate Floyd.

I hate Larry Merchant. Floyd's a jackass, but Merchant is too. He's always taking pot shots at fighters or making some smart ass/borderline disrespectful comments during the fights. He doesn't appreciate what these guys do.

Mayweather ducking Pacquiao is bullshit too. Floyd wanted Olympic style drug testing (which is what they did for the Mosley/Mayweather fight) and Manny refused because he's superstitious about having his blood drawn and thinks it weakens him. *BULLSHIT*

Then he comes out and says he'll agree to random blood testing as long as it ceases 24 days before the fight and Mayweather countered with random blood testing all the way up to 14 days out, which Manny refused. Then all the jock riders, Manny marks and sports commentators come out saying Floyd is scared of Manny. If Pacquiao is on something, what good would it do to give him 24 days to juice up? If Manny really thinks having his blood drawn weakens him, is 14 days not enough time for him to get his strength back?

Freddie Roach himself even admitted at the 3:20 mark of this video before the Mosley fight that Manny refused to submit to Olympic style drug testing but somehow Mayweather is ducking Manny? Mosley has a history of using performance enhancing drugs and is on the tail end of his career but Freddie was so nonchalant about not having random testing for that fight. Hmmm. Yet he made sure Margarito's wraps were checked before that fight. Seems like they were playing "What's Good for the Goose is Good for the Gander" with Mosley, but kept their eye on Margarito. No one wants to call bullshit on Manny because he is a nice guy and it's hard to cheer against him (plus Floyd's a dick) but his camp is full of shit on the drug testing thing.
