    They are simply afraid that he will come overweight to a fight while changing the contract.

    You sign for 147, then the night before the weigh-in, someone might change it to wahtever Floyd weighed that night.

    An insurance for a Bad precedent. History is a strong teacher.

    If history is a strong teacher then Floyd should have asked Manny for a weight penalty bc he failed to make weight before.

    :patsch I always know you guys are going to twist what I say when you begin to paraphrase. The catchweight argument has NOTHING to di with drug testnig anyway, not sure why you act as if they are similar here. Well, I know why, you think you have some valid point. You don't.

    You see, when Floyd was given pretty much the instructions on HOW to make this happen, by talking to the NSAC to add the test Floyd want, WHICH arum said they would abide by. Yet Floyd did NO SUCH THING. He was pretty much told by Kizer they would look into it. And yet, Floyd didn't even try that. WOnder why? Maybe because then there would be NO MORE ROADBLOCK. :shock:

    When you say before, I presume that it is 20 years ago? Did they deliberately change the contract? Did he tried to sweat it out like what it should be done when you come oveweight?

    I dunno. You are the expert.

    :thumbsup Honestly, a rare thing here.

    Floyd's never come in overweight for WW. What history has shown us he can't make 147? Pac came in overweight for a fight before correct? So he'd have the same history as Mayweather right?

    The weight penalty was a power play.. When Floyd tried to do one back they ran from the fight and still refuse to agree to what he's asked.. It's Manny's way or no fight and has been since he beat ODLH. Not too hard to see that.

    :lol: You say this ****, and expect to be treated like someone who knows his stuff on boxing. HOW long ago what that dip****? How many fights SINCE has Pac not made weight? Of course, you don't know how to look at the big picture. Big picture too scary, small brain hurt?
    :yep

    From wiki (edited for dumb *****s)

    A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed for its persuasive effect without the expectation of a reply.[1] Rhetorical questions encourage the listener to think about what the (often obvious) answer to the question must be. When a speaker states, "Why has Floyd never asked prior opponents for random testing?", no formal answer is expected. Rather, it is a rhetorical device used by the speaker to assert or deny something (Floyd is scared **** of Pac that he has to ask for unprecedented additional testing)

    lol because that's easier than Pac just agreeing... But I get it, Floyd has to jump through hoops to please Team Pac.. It's their way or no fight...

    Question... Was Manny's overweight penalty needed or was there already something in place for that? Wouldn't the easiest path be to let the commission handle if Floyd came in overweight?

    Marquez could have refused the money and had Floyd sweat the weight out but he took the money. That is on him.

    Did you word it like that intentionally? :lol:

    Yeah, it happened to Pac as a teen HOW many years ago. Floyd said **** the scales recently, as a world class athlete. And ON Purpose. As if those are even simliar. But I am not surprised you floyd fans went there. Deperate measure.... :D

    When has Floyd NOT made 147? What reason do we have to believe he won't make 147? I mean they wouldn't be fighting at 144 right?

    The argument is dumb because there's no way Floyd knew Manny would refuse. 99.9 percent of the people on earth would accept those conditions if they're clean and would be eager to prove false allegations wrong. Manny not accepting the tests was not expected as most people would be eager to prover their innocence.
