It's not as if anybody with any sense or free of envy and jealousy ever really believed the baseless steroids accusations the father-and-son tandem of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Sr. have insinuated against boxing's best fighter Manny Pacquiao, but Sports Illustrated's recent article clearing the Pac Man of any tainted substance in his system further quashed the malicious rumors being spread by the Mayweathers. 

In the article published by SI.com, the magazine wrote,

"Seven-time world champion Manny Pacquiao tested clean following his Nov. 14 TKO over Miguel Cotto, SI.com has learned.
Pacquiao, who became the first boxer to win seven championships in as many weight classes, underwent urine tests twice -- before and after the fight -- and both came back negative, said Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. It's the the 10th time the Filipino has turned in clean tests in Nevada."

Now if anybody insists to question these tests, then why not simply say boxing is an absolute fraud of a sport and completely disassociate yourself with it. Such statements if taken seriously are a slap and spit to the sport's face. Taken for what they're worth however simply wreaks of character defamation and "haterade". To a certain extent, you can even say it's "racist". So a Filipino can't get big through hard work and years of conditioning and discipline? Please.... Wake up and smell the coffee. Have you seen Chinese gymnasts in the Olympics? Asians can get big too. 

So what's the next excuse? Pacquiao is a mutant? That Pacquiao got "adamantium" infused in his jaw? Last time I checked, Mayweather Sr. himself said steroids can't give a person "skills". Steroids or not, Pacquiao's performance against Cotto was definitely "skillful". 

At the end of the day, quit the yapping and simply step up to the plate. "Money" said something-in a lot of words- about Pacquiao not calling him out in public. Well, before he left for the Philippines, an LA news reporter asked Pacquiao if he wanted to fight "Money" and the response- "for the record, yes." 

Looks like someone is running out of alibis and excuses. But then again, as the saying goes, someone who wants it will always find a reason, and someone who doesn't will always find an excuse.
