:good Random means unlimited now? Whos special wuttle pactward. :rofl Not once in any spoken or written statement has anyone said unlimited tests. Also there is a post around here where A doctor basically says the amount of blood withdrawn does not compromise the athletes performance. As you know.. the testing agency does test actual ****ing athletes. :rofl Ones that got to run.. and sometimes even long distances. There are countless articles on steroids being used during TRAINING of the Athlete rather than the night of the event which would be pretty much useless. Look it up. Main page on ESB.
"They bring in Ariza since the Diaz fight and all of a sudden Pac is knocking out bigger stronger naturally bigger men with one punch when he could not do that with the little guys." Well this is bull**** on a number of levels. Pac knocked out tons of guys pre-Diaz and post-Diaz he has only knocked out Hatton with one punch. The explanation for that is that Hatton is/was susceptible to getting hit by power shots and Pacquiao managed to land a miracle one. De La Hoya and Cotto were both beaten into submission by accumulation rather than insane knockout power. Neither men commented that Pac hit hard, but rather that "it was like there were two of him" and "I couldn't see where the punches were coming from" respectively. They were beaten by speed. They just got hit too many times, that's all. And Pac had speed a long time before Ariza arrived.
Why ask for tests? just because his father believes his opponent is on roids? nah man, they are asking for these tests hoping it would somewhat weaken PAC. Come on man, why not fight Pac without these demands just like the way you have fought other fighters before? Many great fights have been made before, abiding the same rules of testing that has been there long before he and pac even started boxing. Many great fighters have made their way into the ATG & HOF list without undergoing these kinds of tests, and now suddenly ask someone to undergo such a thing just because he can't believe that someone like Pac could achieve greatness based on skill & talent alone like other greats before.
i think this is how the average fan feels and i think this is how most of the media is starting to portray it.
This thread is going nowhere now. Going back to the original Merchant's analysis. That is wisdom that none here, media, and Pacland failed to see. Bottomline is: Why does Floyd wants to test Pac for roids? Answer: So that if Pac turned steroid positive, he will not have to fight him.
Do you blindly follow whatever the Mayweathers say? Let's analyze the whole situation. What roid do you think Pac is using and for what purpose? When did he start using it?
+1 And to add to your very insightful post; If the shoe were on the other foot and it was Mayweather who was suspected of juicing and subsequently refused random drug testing, Merchant would have crucified Floyd....
