Anybody care to weigh in on the Big Three fights coming up?

March 13 you have Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey. I have picked against Pacquiao in 2 of his last 3 fights but I am now a believer. I like PacMan in a late-round stoppage.

April 17th is Kelly Pavlik vs Sergio Martinez. As big of a Pavlik fan as I am, I think this is going to be a tricky fight for the champ. I think Pavlik wins by KO or else he loses a decision. Martinez isnt going to stand stationary like Taylor did and let Pavlik throw bombs.

May 1st Floyd Mayweather vs Shane Mosley. I think this is a no-brainer. Mayweather is too much speed, too much defense and wins a Unanimous Decision against the future Hall of Famer. Which means sometime this fall or winter we should get to see the biggest fight in history: Mayweather vs Pacquiao. (For the record I like Mayweather if this bout happens. You can't beat a guy if you can't hit him)

Mayweather vs Pacquiao <---you think this will ever happen? I only glance the headlines, did the drug testing thing end up stopping the fight?

[inigo_montoya]

Pacquiao refused to submit to drug-testing, but once Shane Mosley agreed to it (who has been tied to 'roids in the past) it put some pressure Manny. And since Manny has fallen under some steroid accusations, and is considered the P4P best, it puts him under some pressure to concede to it.
In my opinion if you are clean, whats the big deal. The example I use is that I don't get nervous at a DUI checkpoint if I haven't been drinking.

And plus, if both Mayweather and Pacquiao win, it is the only fight left that makes sense both from the fans and promoters standpoint

Let me clarify that..Pacquiao wouldn't completely agree with Mayweathers demands to be tested past two before fight night

I think the winners will be Joshua Clottey, Sergio Martinez, Floyd Mayweather. Thats who i am going with.

mayweather is a wuss ...wants nothing to do with pacman. he agreed to the testing but mayweather wants some crazy teasting done , i thought it was like before the fight and also after the fight. i can't remember the specifics but i know it was ridiculous what mayweather wanted. mayweather is scared to fight manny ..period. he does not want to lose that perfect record.

Dram, you are way off with that statement.
1)Every fighter is tested after the fight.
2) Floyd asked that Manny agree to leave the window of random testing open until the day before the fight.

Shane Mosley readily agreed to do this and other fighters (world-champion caliber fighters) like Nate Campbell and Paulie Malignaggi have each said that they didnt have a problem with it and questioned Manny refusing to agree to it.

As far as Floyd being "scared to fight Manny" and not wanting to "lose that perfect record"..it's laughable. If he was worried about that, he wouldnt have agreed to Fight Mosley, who is ranked #4 on the P4P list. He wouldnt have passed on a tune-up fight after his retirement. Instead he came right out and fought Juan Manuel Marquez(who lost a very, very controversial decision to Pac and then fought him to a draw).
