    VERY Desperate for a BIG FIGHT!! And Floyd and Manny are the only ones that would be able to offer him that kind of fight. I think Shane looses but he really feels he can beat Floyd. he's not in this for a payday but to prove he can beat Floyd and he is the best. I think Floyd wins clearly but in Floyds toughest test to date. But you're right about the outcome.

    Shane I don't believe to be cheating since the scandal came out....but yea...he's desperate. Not necessiarly for the money but wants to be seen as the best. ANd he's willing to do what is necessary to get the top guys in the ring with him to fight. Shane would NEVER ask for blood testing.....partly b/c of his history and partly b/c his mentality is this.....he can beat anyone, at anytime in or aroudn his weight class and he doesn't need to request additional test b/c he believes he'll beat anyone in or around his division.

    But it's funny that NO ONE else has came out to say that they'd request Manny or Floyd for that matter to take these kinds of tests...nor should they. They've NEVER been linked to any kind of cheating or taking any kind of illegal or banned substances. And they'd passed EVERY test to check for banned substances.

    I believe that the NFL and MLB commision and regulations for testing were presented to Floyd and his team by Arum as an alternative for the USADA testing Floyd requested...Floyd of course didn't accept.

    Both organizations are full of rampant cheats!

    Anyway, both of those are GAMES. Boxing ain't a damned game! It is literally Mortal Combat. It should be held to a higher standard if financially possible. When elite level fighters meet there is no financial barrier to making it happen.

    There are hundreds of cheats in the Olympics, and Cycling, and all the other sports. People die doing all sorts of other sports too, lol. People die in the luge, cycling off mountains, they die in auto races, etc etc. What you want a medal just because you love boxing?

    Boxing ain't mortal combat christ, that's why there are guys like Mayweather! If you want real combat go watch some MMA.

    Can't deny that! Man....I told you, I 100% agree with the testing that Floyd pretty much started....I just wasn't sold that he started this movement b/c of wanting to better the sport.

    No doubt with how brutal this fight game is that EVERYONE should be clean! How realistic is that...???? Not very....there are ways to get around the current testing including USADA's. But.....the determent factor is HUGE.

    The USADA's only catches less than 1 percent of the people they test for PED's, roids or HGH....mostly they catch people smoking week!:rofl

    No crap. Who asked for a medal? The point is that very few sports have a guy sitting in front of you in a position to kill you. The numbers show boxing is worse than almost all others. Auto racing and luge ain't "real sports", but that is another discussion.

    Please. I am an MMA fan too. Boxing is twice as damaging as MMA. MMA will even say it.

    You are right. Mayweather ain't fooling me. Hell no he didn't want to clean up the sport! He didn't want his ass tapped! :deal

    Agreed. There is no 100% guarantee against cheating. I just say when you have a fight on this level where the best testing ain't a thing? Why not do it?

    Better does not equal perfect. USADA testing is just better. FMJ asking for it was reasonable. No more. No less.

    This is untrue. Team Mayweather was willing to use another agency besides the USADA, they were also willing to allow a 14 day window. Team Pacquiao rejected both.

    It's not neccessarily better. They conduct themselves on the level of Salem witch hunts, deny their accused access to impartial testing, deny them rights to defense. Hell, these testers have even stooped to falsifying tests and fabricating lies.

    And on top of all this WADA/USADA and ALL THE REST lack the scientific method with which the base their VALIDITY on. What's this mean in lamens terms? It means the science that they use to test with is basically all unreliable. PERIOD.

    All that **** gets agreed on. Marquez decided $300 000 per pound was fair and accepted payment. Pacquiao decided he wanted $10 mil per pound, to which Floyd agreed. That's how it works. The price per pound penalty is as much a part of negotiations as the weight limit itself.
