    Is the drug testing window about getting what he wants or protecting the fighters?

    If it's about protecting the fighters, why is it in 1 contract and not being petitioned in every athletic commission around the globe?

    Is testing adequate to protect boxers or not?

    Many fighters have said that they would like USADA testing. Fighters in the Super 6. You just choose to ignore this.

    Luke it isn't being demanded because for the lower echelons of the sport it just can't be done. For the higher echelons... You use your intelligence to figure that one out.

    It isn't a charade. It is a procedure that has an economic impact and can only be used where economically feasible. To make it a sport wide procedure just makes no sense.

    He did start with Mosley. Never before did he make it an absolute stipulation with no exceptions. That's a fact.

    As far as "responding incorrectly", just because I didn't answer as you would have liked me to doesn't make it incorrect. Try again.

    That is not what Jason asked and you know it.

    Jason never said anything about cut off dates, he asked about OSDT.

    It's not financially plausible, unfortunately, to have such testing in every single fight. Hopefully some day that will change. At least there is a champion for the cause at the very height of the sport.

    So floyd is worth protecting with OSDT, but not the other thousands of fighters who are much more active and taking more punishment???

    If it's good enough for 1 fight, it better damn well be good enough for every fighter.

    This is the hurt business, not the give floyd what he wants business.

    He has demonstrated in the past that he has little to no grasp on the financial ramifications of things. He lacks even a basic level of economic intelligence. He is attempting to set up some sort of argument where Floyd a self-serving son of a ***** for not demanding this level of blood testing boxing-wide, all while ignoring the financial aspect of such an undertaking.

    Demonstrate where I lied, or we'll have to let it go and accept that you were absolutely wrong in calling me a liar.
