Mayweather - Pacman off! What a joke! Both guys have lost respect here and as usual Mayweather ducks a realistically challenging opponent. Suggestions that Paulie Malignaggi, Yuri Foreman and Matthew Hatton are potential opponents for either guys... terrific!

Was looking forward to what would no doubt be a great matchup.

(Predictably) Mayweather is blaming Pacquiao. I have no doubt Mayweather won't be a delight to negotiate with, but on the one hand, surely the 14 days leading up until the fight being blood test free is not an unreasonable offer from Floyd? On the other hand of course, why should Pacquiao have to accept Mayweather's terms on drug testing; a matter that should really be left to the governing bodies. Whatever, if this fight doesn't happen it's a black mark on the reputations of both fighters in my opinion.

Mayweather is trying to turn the tables on Pacman, but why is he making such demands? He isn't bigger than the sport and he has never done this with any other opponent. It's just typical Mayweather.

At the same time, why Pacman won't do the test I don't know, but it does make you wonder.

None of them come out of this well, you're right. Too many excuses for my liking, do either of them really want the fight?

I suspected Jermaine Taylor has pulled out of the SMW Super 6 tourny.

Either Pavlik, Bute (ranked number 1 SMW by the ring), or Alan Green to replace him?

He was advised. He has suffered 2 very heavy knockouts in his last 2 fights. He's done the right thing IMO

Green to replace him I reckon

Ricky Hatton confirms that he will definitely return to the ring this year, probably in the summer. He's blamed his training regime and problems behind the scenes on his bad performance against Pacquaio and says Mayweather sr won't be training him again. He's not ruled out a fight against Khan, but due to problems with Frank Warren he doubts that fight will be arranged. He also mentioned Marquez as a possiblity, but no confirmation of an opponent.

I've seen the clip of him in the gym and to say he's well out of shape is an understatement. I've never seen him look so fat. I love watching Ricky Hatton fight, but I'm torn over this and just feel he's going on too long.
