Drop the testing... why?

Every ******* on the Forum would be blasting Mayweather night and day if it was Pacquiao asking for the testing and Mayweather refusing.

 

I think the problem is with someone making up their own special rules.

What If Floyd demanded that the fight take place with head gear, to prevent brain trauma? Surely preventing brain trauma is a worthy cause? Yes, but that's not the rules.
It is percieved that Floyd has a history of not seeking out the biggest challenges, and when you consider that his only reason of asking for these tests is that "Pac Man is too good", it looks bad. Where was the urge to clean up the sport against Baldomir, or Gatti? Did FMJ just now hear about roids?

Blood testing for all, might be a good idea. Blood testing for some, is a bad idea.

 

I would also like if they are going to start doing this, for the company involved to provide the public with a disclosure proving that the two fighters being tested are both being treated and tested the exact same amount of times.
it would be ****ed up to learn that Mosley was tested just days before the fight while he was on his way to vegas and Floyd was only tested a couple of times, it would be ****ed up to learn that Floyds last test was three weeks before the fight.....
They should atleast disclose this information to ensure the fans alike that not only are they cleaning up the sport but that both fighters are being treated the same

 

I want Floyd to drop the demands because it isn't his place to regulate the sport. You can't pick and choose who gets blood testing. Everyone gets tested or nobody gets tested.

This does need to become mandatory though.

 

With what could be the biggest fight in boxing history, they should set the standards for the sport. Prove they are clean and put pressure on those in control to become stricter on drug testing.

 

.....50 years from now.

grandkid: grandpa.... why didn't pacman fight mayweather?
grandpa: because the other guy felt that he was imposing his will by making him take
a blood test.
grandkid: wtf? ...so...so he didn't want to take the test?
grandpa: yup...woulda been one for the history books...one for the sport... lots of
money to be made
grandkid: what a ****ing sham.

grandpa: don't you mean shame?

grandkid: no...a ****ing sham grandpa.

 

That's fine, it still doesn't change my stance.

I do understand both sides but for me the ends don't justify the means. It needs to be done the right way.

Another argument on the Manny side is, Floyd wants this testing because he believes Manny is on PEDs. Why does he think that? Because Floyd Sr believes it. What is that based on? It's circular logic. He's on something because I think he is. People shouldn't have to defend themselves against every single allegation made against them (ones that are not based on fact). Someone made the very good analogy of "I know I'm doing nothing illegal in my home but it doesn't mean I'm gonna let the cops walk right in".

Floyd is the smartest business man in the game. This was all calculated. This never became an issue until Pacquiao. I can't remember where I read it but it's the same principal: "2 guys are running for some sort of office one advisor tells his candidate (we'll call him 1) to accuse the other of ****ing some sort of animal. Candidate 1 said I know that's not true. To which the advisor replied but he's got to spend the time to respond and defend himself, if he doesn't people assume it to be true". This is the same exact thing.

I personally believe if you just worry about getting the end point (random blood testing) and you go about it the wrong way (individual fighters making demands) you miss the point all together (random blood testing for all fighters).

 

It's already verified that Mosley was tested more than Mayweather, so obviously they weren't testing at the same times.

 

Marion Jones never failed a USADA blood test.


She did fail a urine test though. :think

 

That's very interesting. Do you have a link?
