    you think shane would be a bigger star and have leverage over Pacman if he beats Floyd?

    He'd probably do it if GBP told him to. If it were up to Shane, he probably wouldn't. Shane isn't known for being a *****.

    If Shane really wanted stricter anti-doping standards, he'd approach the commissions of boxing and present his case, not ask just one boxer, then demand everyone else fighting him just to cover up his scheme.

    For the sake of boxing they should both take urine and blood tests on an hourly basis. ****in' druggies.

    I think Shane and GBP would think they are bigger and have leverage, Bob Arum and Co would think the opposite, which is where we are with Manny and Floyd at the moment.
    I agree though, if up to Shane alone he'd just want to get in ring and fight but surely Golden Boy have to stick with it now.

    Either way, its too late for Pac Man.

    If he agreees to test, then it looks like he was scared of
    Floyd - because he was willing to take the test against
    Mosely but not Mayweather.

    And if he doesnt agree to test, then it looks bad that
    Mayweather tested against Mosely - yet Pac doesnt
    and suspicions would continue to rise.

    Mayweather looks to of clearly came out of the fall out
    unscathed - whilst as time goes on, Pac will be seen as
    a dirty fighter, unless he is willing to take random blood tests.

    I can't imagine Shane asking for it, but I do remember GBP saying every fighter would now be subjected to it! It will be interesting if he does and to be honest Manny would have to agree! You can't refuse on two seperate occasions!

    Ye really good point actually. Then Manny just goes on fighting Top Rank fighters or up and comers who wont request Olympic style testing. Cant see him fighting for much longer. Maybe Margarito then Valero and thats it?? Bit of a anti climax really unless he changes his mind on testing.

    Not sure i agree about Mayweather being unscathed, the whole episode has confirmed the reputation he already had as being a little ***** *****.

    Mosley has already said he would fight Pac without the blood tests

    Mosley didn't agree to tests to set a precedence, and to clean the sport, he did it cos he was desperate for the fight, so i don't think he would ask for it against Pacman..

    Just to be absolutely correct here even if these test are implimented they are not as strict as tennis where you have to let the drug testing agency know where you are every single day or testing in cycling where they test you randomly for absolutely everything if one hormone is up and they don't find any drugs they STILL suspend you! Thats not even mentioning athletics etc....

    I think this kind of testing is an absolute must, I've said it before when someone dies in the ring and they find out his opponent was on drugs the **** will hit the fan!
