    He won the gold in a competition where your opponents do not hit you back.

    Absorbing punches depletes your stamina way faster...

    what you're saying here is what Pac's ream has proposed, but was not accepted yet. GBP is gonna come up with a counter offer which seems to be 14 days instead of 30 which should get the fight made.

    I'm not a fan of track but one thing I know is that this article was about the Valencia Indoor Games, not the Olympics. Those indoor games happened before the olympics.

    I don't get it, Kevin Iole pointed this out days ago. Why is Arum just now learning of it? It's pretty clear that Pacquiao has been full of **** in regards to this drug testing. If he came out from the get go and refused the testing out of principal, I would have no problem with him. However, it's been a part of the contract for weeks now. Not too long ago Roach said he welcomed any testing. Given all of this, it stinks to high hell when Pac turns around and not only rejects the testing but gives bull**** reasons for doing so.

    I know exactly what it is, but they do not have another guy hitting you back that can knock you out.

    So... Can anyone else believe that the potential deal-saver here was someone bringing a YouTube clip of 24/7 footage to the attention of the Promoters and boxers? Footage from what appears to be a standard boxing procedure for fights - the pre-fight medical.

    I could be wrong, maybe it isn't standard, but it would make sense that it was... In which case, I'm believe more than ever they're all just chuckling happily to themselves as they light their cigars with money they won't need to spend on marketing and hype campaigns. For the record, I'm not directly accusing the promotional teams of being filthy rich, cigar smokers, it is just my opinion...

    After weeks of 'Will they? Won't they?' This is what they come up with? Now Arum feels he can go back to Manny with a proposal?

    And if one slap in the face wasn't enough, we get the backhand return as well, as NSAC order a random urine test to be conducted immediately, explaining how vital random testing is in the process of beating drug cheats.

    I'm not sure whether this is hilarious or insulting.

    What would be the point of filing a petition? The NSAC has maintained that their testing is suffiecient. They will not change their stance because of a petition.
