I'll be honest Im not sure if he's on them but what I am sure about is that's he's border line CRAZY to turn his nose up at £100 million quid!!! Im all for these drug tests in the sport and as long as the other fighter is willing to do it it should never be a problem.. It's taken too long imo.. For that amount of money you could take every single drain of blood out of me on the day of the fight..

On a serious note now I hope he takes the test so we can see what I believe will be the biggest ever spectacle seen in a boxing ring.. Also for the guy who said Bolt, Bolt is the most tested athlete on planet earth and that's a fact Im told from the official drug testers..:good

 

wasnt saying bolt takes PED's, was just stating that if some1 does something a bit special in there sport dont make him a drug cheat IMO:thumbsup

 

Trevor Graham works in his camp alongside Alex Ariza. Graham is also used by Andre Ward. Graham was involved in BALCO Scandal. Search his name and i'm sure you will find some info on him and his involvement with Pacquiao. :good

 

Yeah but you could say about Floyd, for £100 million why doesn't he just say "Okay, we'll just do the same tests that I've done for all my other fights". I don't think even Floyd believes Pac is on something, and I don't believe Floyd is scare of Pac either. It's just mind games IMO. Pac is a proud man, in some people's eyes he might be considered a "*****" for giving into whatever demands Mayweather makes. Obviously I don't think that way and I think that he should take the tests but it's understandable why he would say no. He also believes that blood taken from him could weaken him. Whether having blood taken from you will affect you the way Pac thinks or not, boxers have beliefs, like not having sex before a fight. If that's what he believes, then even though I want him to take the tests, I understand why he wouldn't want to. One things for sure, this fight would've already happened if Floyd hadn't decided to make up his own rules regarding drug testing.

 

will do mate. i didnt know that:good

 

If this truly is what Hatton said, it's a real shame. Having credited Pac with being a gent, both before and after their fight, this sort of remark lacks class, and possibly results from listening to the bull**** coming from his entourage, and also trying to reconcile himself to such a stunning and comprehensive defeat. Ricky's gone from the absolute pinnacle of fame - certainly in a boxing context - taking tens of thousands of fans over to Vegas to support him, to becoming a bit of a laughing stock among alot of people. It's gonna take a very level person not to feel a little bitter about that turnaround, and he's obviously struggling to make the adjustment.

I'll always give Hatton a lot of credit for taking the biggest challenges out there - albeit for the biggest paydays. That he subsequently had his level so brutally illustrated to him is the flipside to taking that route - you then have to put up with being called a useless arsehole by everyone and their nan which, at the end of a mostly very successful career, has got to sting alot. Hopefully he gives the promotion thing a really good crack, and gets back some of the self-esteem he's clearly lost through the finale of his boxing career, by helping young fighters make the most of their careers. Either way, I wish him all the best.

 

Just out of interest, did you see that documentary on Bolt the other day?

Showed some unseen footage of him competing in the 200 meteres in his early teens, he'd almost finished the race by the time the other runners were coming round the bend for the final 100 :rofl.

Michael Johnson also put the question to him, about how feels when people question whether he's taking performance enhancing drugs. He basically said he's not bothered, but he can fully understand why people are suspicious, due to the amount of previous athletes who have broken world records, only to fail a drugs test afterwards.

 

Another new low for Hatton............Lower than a snakes belly,the bloke is a ****ing embarrassment.

 

na mate, wud of been interesting tho. wat chan was it on, ill look for a repeat

 

I think it was BBC2. Well worth watching if you can find it :good

No worries mate. If you can't find it on iplayer, just type 'fastest man in the world' on youtube and it's all there.

 

will do buddy:thumbsup

 

If it were not for his election then I believe that Pac would have agreed to the 14 day window or even less the first time round. In the end it turned into his excuse for delay. He and his people possibly believed that a loss against Floyd would have adversely affected his chances of being elected. I also know that Roach was originally unhappy at the idea of facing Mayweather so soon as March. He wanted more time to prepare for such an opponent. A fight later in the year has always been a far better fit for he and Pacquiao and I think that's why we see the 14 day window being agreed to now.
