Is Pac really that good?

No sir you are incorrect in the framing of your point. First and foremost the commissions set MINIMUM STANDARDS to obtain a license to fight, these are just that MINIMUMS. These fighters are independant contractors and have the freedom to negotiate as they see fit as long as they agreed upon principles meet the MINIMUM standards set by the commissions. It shouldn't be done because "Floyd asks for it", it should be done because it's the right thing to do, and why the **** wouldn't you do it? I mean what's the ****ing problem with taking drug tests as a professional athlete, and them being the most effective tests available, random, and both fighters taking the exact same amount and in the exact same intervals? Why is that not the most logical thing to do, dead serious how would you arrive at the conclusion either fighter would gain an advantage through this?

 

Fear is a powerful thing! I don't think Floyd is scared per say....more "scared" about the chances of acutally losing causes us to see this side of Floyd and again....I've NEVER seen this Floyd before.

 

problem is that automatically excludes most of Floyd's fanbase on here.

 

:rofl Didn't have to be so blunt.

When being done as a formality, maybe it is good enough, as has been done in the past. In this case there are clearly more effective tests, and more effective testing procedures, he (PBF) feels (right, wrong, or indifferent) that his opponent (PAC) could be cheating, and believes it to be important to utlize the best available methods tests and testing procedures. As to make it more difficult and less likely that he would cheat, or to actually catch him cheating as a safeguard for himself and his legacy, period. I would do the same thing, and if some of you were honest with yourself you would too. Measures of maintaining the integrity of and fairness in job endeavors is a pretty common idea.

 

yup...they dont care to listen though.....the IDEA itself should be embrassed by all sports.....now sometimes its not feasible to have...but if the opportunity is their and it is in this situation i dont see why it shouldnt be done.

 

So you are hinting at and essentially implying that the man has a mental disorder/phobia. I have seen, as can anyone who wants to see, the man give blood and take needles on video via You Tube, he does so calmly, cooly, and with no adverse reaction. If you are "phobic" of anything, you are phobic ALL THE TIME, not selectively, the man is not phobic of needles and he's not phobic of giving blood, period. When was he diagnosed with this phobia, what has he done to treat it, this would constitute him having a legitimate disorder. This excuse just doesn't stand up and doesn't have any merrit in terms of legitimate facts. That being said I feel him he doesn't "like" needles, I don't either, but please spare me the he's phobic stuff. Dawg come on now, you appear to be more sensible than this.

Ok, so now you say it's a preference, I don't don't dispute that. I'm sure he would prefer not to, and I understand the overall implication you are making and I recognize it as somewhat important. That being said, it's not even in the same universe of "important" as ensuring fairness in arguably the biggest fight of the last 20 years, of making a mega fight that would pay you 40 million dollars, of securing your place amongst the greatest to ever step inside a ring, it's not as important as providing yourself, those you work for, and those that work for you the opportunity to secure a better life for their families, and not to mention clearing your name of any possible suspicion of doping. I mean the reasons to take these tests relative to the reason you give for not taking the test are so much greater that I would think less of him for not taking them for this reason compared to if he were really cheating. So he would rob his fans, his employees, his employers, HIS SELF, and all those with a stake or interest in his success or failure of this crowing achievement, because he "prefers" not to give blood...that's the most selfish, childish, and ridiculous **** I've ever heard, and I swear to God I would respect him less for that, than legitimately cheating.

 

Excellent perspective and point of view bro. It's like having a fear of heights, enclosed or confined spaces or even FLYING! Some things folks just have a physical and mental reaction to. Does it hurt them scientifically...:verysad But does it effect their ability to respond, react or function....absolutely. Taking of blood is the same thing for A LOT of people. They feel weak, dizzy, withdrawn and for those who are superstitious like Manny having those feelings can definitly affect performance if it's indeed a mental thing.
