Window Seat for Sleeping.

I dont think Manny is juicing, he's now suiing Golden Boy for that rumour. The last contract was refused by Mayweather apparently due to personal legal issues, not to do with the test.

In my opinion Mayweather will outsmart him for most of the fight (if it ever happens) The only way Manny will beat him is by knockout.

As for Marquez its seems like a fight to settle the disputed. Marquez isnt the same fighter as he was, neither is Manny, both in opposite ways.

There are lots of people who believe Manny is clean. But from what I've been reading, the numbers who believe otherwise now surpass those who doubt. There have been 3 go-rounds of negotiation but only the first and second are of any importance because the latest talks never got to the paper stage. The first go-round was when Floyd agreed to every one of Manny's demands including ring size, brand of gloves, pay split and even a ridiculous demand from Manny of 10 million dollars from Floyd for every pound should he show up on fight night over the weight limit. Floyd agreed to all of Manny's requests. This was a major surprise to most who know boxing because at that point and still today, (until the numbers are in for the Manny Mosley embarrassment), Floyd holds the record for the highest grossing fight in the history on his weight class, if not the sport. There would have been no reason for Floyd not to ask for a higher percentage of the winnings. In fact, it was expected that this would be a major concern in getting the fight made. However, Floyd asked for only 1 thing in exchange for all of his concessions, Olympic style random blood testing. The fight fell apart after Manny first said he didn't like needles. Someone brought up the fact that he has several tattoos and the next story that surfaces was drawing blood makes him week. Manny decided to sue instead of take the test and prove to his fans that he's clean. Big Red Flag in my opinion.

The second go-round came after Floyd signed to fight Mosley. He said that if he beat Mosley, whom Freddy Roach said Floyd was afraid to fight, that the fight with Manny would require random OST up to fight night or there would be no fight. During negotiations Many came down to a 24 day cut off and Floyd countered with 14 days. The fight fell apart for the second time. After that Floyd went on to beat Mosley and restate that in order for the fight to happen the testing would need to be in effect up to fight night. That's where we stand to day. There have been reports that Manny has agreed to random OST up to fight night but even that is in dispute at this point because no one can produce a clip of Manny saying exactly that. Less than 2 weeks ago Floyd again stated publicly that all Manny has to do is take the test.

Since the last talks, as you correctly stated, Floyd has gotten himself into all kinds of trouble with the law and his boxing career has been on hold, some say in jeopardy for the last year and a half. He seems to be self distructing outside of the ring. He behaves as though he has mental problems which is truly a shame because, technically, he's the best boxer of his generation.
