    No, I'm not kidding. Like I said, the testing he's demanding would likely not catch him if he's using PED's during his long "vacations" between fights. The limited 3-month testing period belies his claim that he really cares about fighters being clean.

    If you are satisfied as a fan, then the issue isn't really all that important to you.

    mosley was a WW since 2000, floyd since 2005. they are both in the same division since 2005. floyd just requested OSDT when he is about to face pacquiao.

    So this is about Floyd cheating, and not other boxers?

    so do you think it is not possible for floyd to cycle PEDs during his vacations?

    No, you're missing the point. I'm telling you the reason why I think Floyd's demands are bull****. If you want to continue to take what he says at face value, that's on you. But as a fan of the sport, you'd be better off with a bit more skepticism.

    So. Pacquiao came from flyweight to welterweight. Shane admitted using PEDS unknowingly. Floyd probably thought both are suspect, and said that both will be tested if I fight them.

    I'm a skeptic when it comes to bad decisions, not testing protocol.

    It's possible every professional boxer on this planet can, not just Floyd.

    Of course it's possible. However, the only reason he would need to cycle, would be to avoid getting caught wth testing that he's voluntarilly going through. Maybe I'm stupid, but if Mayweather was juicing, it would seem to make more sense for him to simply not go through with the testing.

    so what you are saying is that floyd's statement that he is cleaning the sport is really another BS and he is just targeting pacquiao and mosley but mainly it was pacquiao right? this is what i want to hear from you guys and be honest. some would actually believe that floyd is out to clean the sport ****.

    Then the officially sanctioned tests should be enough for you. The fact that you're defending Floyd's enhanced testing demands tells us otherwise, though.

    Then why care about tests at all, if that's what you believe?

    Unless he believes that he can beat the test and can play games with Pac's head at the same time. Fact is, we don't know what his true motives are, just as you said. But we do have enough info to realize his current testing demands are bull****.

    Well, I see a lot of people claiming Floyd is an idiot. At the same time, many others claim he keeps coming up with these ellaborate schemes to duck some people and **** with others.

    This is a contradictory statement. Anyway,you can call the testing bull****, but no one is fighting Mayweather without going through it.

    It's undeniable that any boxer in the business would jump at the chance at a huge payday. For some fighters, like Pac and Floyd, that payday comes no matter who they fight. Most others can't say the same.

    And it's not an contradictory statement. I really don't know why he's demanding bull**** tests. I only discussed the reasons why I believe they are bull****. (See above.)
