    If Pac would have out right refused it stating that he had issues in the past with Morales off the bat then there would be more understanding for him. But the fact that there were many different excuses at first making him sound guilty. Then the fact that they felt they had to lie twice to the public about what they agreed to. That's what brought on the heavy backlash.

    Thats with anything. Someone ask you a question 2 different ways or 2 people ask you a question and you give different answers then you sound suspicious.

    It is reasonable to have both boxers take random testing. It is unreasonable for it to be required for only one of them.

    Seeing that dude is fighting so well at 46, at first it's reasonable, but thing is his diet is spot on...and since the Sig Other is a nutritionist athlete in her late 40s, diet is everything, and lifestyle... in my opinion he's clean.
    Sides his style, is not like an offensive powerhouse, which might make a difference.

    They were negotiating before the contract and Pacquiao tried to accommodate to date. If Pascal brought the testing issue before the contract and not after what do you think would happen?

    How many athletes, world class athletes also have their nutrition and lifestyle spot-on? Yet they all retire by age 40.
    Lance Armstrong is naturally gifted and a monk, yet he is not competitive anymore at 39.

    Just saying...

    Regardless if you feel Pac tried to accommodate. The major reason for Pac's backlash has been the excuses and lies that have come out on his side. That's his own/teams fault. Forget what Mayweather's have said as he don't control that. But the stuff that has come out from his own camp that he does control made themselves look bad.

    The amount of backlash depends on Hopkins reasoning if done before the contract. Yet it still wouldn't be fair to compare to Pac as this isn't on the same magnitude so not as many people would care.

    Yea, this is hard to get around. His skills should have deteriorated a decade ago, but he's still fighting against kids that are at their peaks.

    Yer ignoring the whole PEDs accusation is based on lies right?
