Timothy Bradely's "0" certainly didnt help sell The paquiao ppv megafight.

Default Re: Is Floyd's "take the test" motto genuine or fake?

floyd genuinely believes other fighters use p.e.d.'s. With the recent past - seems like he's right (i dislike floyd but do believe pac was juicing - based almost solely on mosley's feedback)

I can tell you for sure it's genuine. Floyd wasn't the only person suspicious of Pacquiao using PEDs. It became pretty rampant after the Cotto fight. I personally always thought Pacquiao was an incredible athlete and moving up a few pounds wouldn't be a problem for him. Especially since he had trouble making 130 and 135. Good matchmaking helped alot too. I can see where Floyd and others are coming from though.

Now it has caught on. Good for him, and the cleanliness of our great sport
Floyd took back all he said. That means all you said is worthless. You, are worthless.

Floyd already lost to JLC, DLH and Miguel Cotto.

Canelo is a lot worse. Floyd was not protected when he was down at 130/135

Edit: Fail on my part, missed the title, you're talking ATGs

If Ali was like Floyd he would never ever get in the ring with Foreman.
