    I did only because I acknowledge what I am - a man whose selfish when it comes to fights and wants to see the best matchups made first and foremost.

    I have no problem with Floyd's crusade here, and it's time there was stricter testing. The problem I have is with the timing- he was always so sure of how easy he'd beat Pac (a fight I favored him in as well), that it seems strange to see him so gung-ho right at the end of negotiations. It came off like he lost his self-belief. Really though, I'm just pissed off he didn't start his efforts to "clean up boxing" the day after he fought Pacquiao. :lol:

    *****'s keep bringing up Conte interview to try raise their agenda in Pac cheating yet forget a very important quote from their own main source:

    "I dont think anybody should be singled out. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander"

    "I dont think it was really fair for Manny Pacquiao to all of a sudden be completely subjected to a different standard than everyone else"

    Pac said it, Arum said it, Roach said it, one thing they all agree on, Floyd if you got a problem with the testing, take it the commision. Team Pac tried to give you more than what any other fighter has previously. Unlimited random urilanysis for one.

    Pac isn't being singled out. From now on Mayweather will request blood testing to whomever he will fight and Mosley is being subject to it. *******s just get upset because they hate Mayweather so much they think Mayweather is singling Pac out or scared :lol:

    targetting.. paranoid ..??

    pac being THE FACE of boxing right now, p4p 1, an ATG and perhaps this decades best fighter, doesnt want to do a thorough ped test, unless he can dictate when and where.. disgusting attitude, when considering his huge role as a boxing representative.

    his actions, are hurting the bit of credibility boxing has.

    its you and other pac fans, who rapid as ****, wants to claim the role of victim.. HELL NO, the victim here is boxing.. Pac created the problem, through his own stupidity and with the help of a ******ed pr crew.

    its pitifull and casts a real dark shadow over boxing.

    jeez, how naive are you? You think it was a coincidence PBF starts requesting drug testing after Pac? When he previously accused Pac of juicing before they even started negotiating for the fight?

    Angel Floyd woke up one morning and wanted random drug testing, just a big fat coincidence the guy hes been accusing of cheating with steroids is his next opponent :lol:

    It doesnt matter that Floyd requests it from now on, obviously he will, or hes more stupid than I thought. Hes requesting it from now on not because he wants to better the sport, but because he doesnt wanna loose face after his epic failed attempt with Pac.

    In an ideal world, drug testing in boxing would be completely re-vamped and unlimited, randon tests would be mandatory.

    As it is, Floyd has the right to ask for these tests and Pac has the right to say no.

    Not naive, just realistically thinking, unlike your wishful thinking that Mayweather is afraid of Pac...

    You think Mayweather never wanted to fight Pac (yet he agreed to fight) and knew all along Pac was going to deny the blood tests even before it was proposed to Pacquiao and that he'd use that as an attempt to get out of the fight without further damaging his notorious "ducking"????? Damn, Mayweather is smarter than I thought.

    Also, Mayweather Sr was the one that started the accusation, to my knowledge, Mayweather Jr hasn't accused Pac.

    The part I highlighted in yellow just shows your ignorance.

    Moose you go to show just how naive people can be when they want to... The man wanted better testing for boxing cool...but you really think Pac wasn't being put on the cross by Floyd, REALLY!! He had just came back, plenty of time to think about this. So logically, Marquez moving up 2 weight classes should have drawn concern from him and testing should have begun there. One man has a history of not giving the fans fights they want to see, so whether you think Floyd purposely did this or not there should be concern.. Pac has been brought under fire with no history pattern, while the book on Floyd is there for anyone sane to read.

    Yea and don't expect too many reasonable responses. People hear, see, and believe what suits their cause. For the haters this ain't one of them. Talking about the part where Conte says Pac should not have been singled out.

    what a stupid post.

    im not swinging by either man balls, but you certainly are.

    i dont care what the crack childs intentions were or are, and that is totally besides the point..!!

    whats not besides the point is, that the numero uno in todays boxing, doesnt want to be tested thoroughly, unless he dictates when and where.

    if you cant see that hurts boxing, then your not a boxing fan, but a pitifull excuse of a pac fan.

    EDIT: furthermore fighters like ward and chambers who work with this douchebag, arent soing boxing any favours either, the difference being, that pac is the THE MAN in boxing right now.

    no doubt about it, pac is the face of boxing right now, thats why its so sad, when he refused to being tested more thoroughly. BECAUSE IT HURTS BOXING

    Mayweather went about it the wrong way I agree. It doesn't help either when his dad opened his mouth. However, why couldn't Pac agree and also help set the standard? Why act like you're hiding something?


    No one has been able to tell me how Mayweather knew Pac was going to say no to random blood testing and eventually **** the fight up (both are at fault, dont just think I'm blaming Pac). If Mayweather wanted to duck Pac don't you think he would've never agreed or initiated negotiations with Pac in the first place?

    What clowns like you don't understand is that change is imminent but it is gradual. You don't start a smear campaign and then give somebody an ultimatum...:nut

    You're right with what you're saying. A red flag will go up anytime someone refuses this or any other type of testing... The problem was where and how it originated, I feel if Floyd was for the sport it would have been brought to the commission itself and before now.

    Both guys screwed this up, and in my eyes equally at fault. There was room for compromise as shown by Mayweather towards the breakup... I don't really think either guy didn't want to fight each other but just both driven by their huge egos. By one man giving in they are saying the other is in the drivers seat.....Stupid!!

    I agree 100%. If Mayweather did want better testing for the sport, he went about it the wrong way. Pac should've just accepted. Both are at fault but at least the need for tougher testing was put on the limelight.
