    Mayweather is one of the true good guys in the sport. It's good to see a guy stand up for what he believes in. It's a shame that some other fighters run and hide when strict drug testing is brought up.:verysad Why wouldn't you want to show the world that you're a clean athlete via the gold standard of drug testing? Good job Mayweather, keep exposing these guys both in and outside the ring.:good

    I'm not defending Pac for agreeing to it, that was stupid, but you cant deny this is all one big front for Mayweather. He's doing it to save face and trying to pass it off as "cleaning up the sport".

    what i find more interesting in this interview is that, he did not make a prediction.


    he cant say, i am gonna box him for 12 rounds after bc that is cheesy.

    he cant say he is gonna stand toe to toe.

    i dont think floyd knows what he is gonna do. he is relying more on his uncanny ability to adapt so he is gonna see what shane mosley comes with.

    Why all the hate? It doesn't matter how one dimensional the guy is. Why would you want to allow the guy to cheat? All it takes is one punch in this sport. You could be much better than your opponent, all they have to do is land one good punch and it's over. So why wouldn't you try to prevent your opponent from cheating and increasing his chances of doing more damage with that one punch? Should Mayweather also allow his opponents to get their handswrapped unsupervised if he thinks he's facing a one-dimensional opponent?

    And if I'm not mistaken, both Arum and Roach claim that Mayweather is an easy opponent and that Pac would steamroll him. Pac also claims he would steamroll Mayweather. So I flip the question. If it's such an easy fight for Pac why not just take the drug test if you have nothing to hide? Unless Pac also believes in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy, there is now way that he really believes that it will weaken him. So what's the problem?

    :lol: and you seriously believe that?

    He claims all future Mayweather opponents will be subjected to Olympic testing. But the question then arises, 'well how many more times are you gonna fight Floyd?' Because if your remaining fights are just gonna be Shane and Pac, then this whole campaign of cleaning up the sport is a bit of a farce isn't it. One you're retired, that's it you're not gonna give a ****.

    Unless of course, you continue this campaign after you retire. You know, in your job as a full time promoter, you'll be ensuring that the opponents of every single one of your fighters, will be undertaking Olympic testing all the time! Let's see if you can live up to your promise Floyd. Because if not, then the world will know that despite you being a bigger, and a far more gifted fighter, you will be too much of a chicken to face a smaller Paquiao who you once claimed would be easy work.

    To be honest Floyd never makes predictions. He just says he's gonna win

    The only chicken is the grown man who claims he's afraid of needles. Mayweather is getting the ball running on this thing. It will be up to others to continue the crusade once he retires. Meanwhile, other fighters will continue to cheat. As fans, we can decide which side we want to be on. Some of us are honorable and applaud brave athletes who seek to usher in some positive change in their sport. Other fans lack scruples and just want to see someone get their head bashed in. They don't care if a boxer roided himself up before bashing in another fighter's skull.:-(

    If he really wanted to clean up the sport. Why didn't he go to the Nevada Commission and request they add random blood testing like what Arum was saying. Pac will have no choice but to take the test if the N.A.C. enact it.

    He never really cared about drug testing even after 40 fights and his retirement. He comes back from retirement, never thought about drug testing until his upcoming bout with Pac. After the negotiations failed, all of a sudden he becomes the an advocate in cleaning out drugs in boxing. In the world of boxing nobody really cares about blood testing. Who else other than Floyd and Shane are submitting themselves to random blood testing in all divisions in professinal boxing. With all the upcoming professional fights nothing is said about doing random blood testing. It seems nobody give a hoot about Floyd and his random blood testing.

    Why did he allow his 40 previous opponents to "cheat" then? If by your definition not taking USADA style drug test is cheating then PBF himself has cheated 40 times previously.

    Roach has flipped flopped on the subject, he initially said easy to get a reaction but his latest opinion is that it will be a hard fight. He believes Pac will be at disadvantage by giving blood because it affects him psychologically, therefore team Pac in their eyes has a very good reason as to why they shouldnt do it.

    You dont have to believe in Santa Clause to believe it weakens you. There is undeniable proof that Pac's excuse is consistent and not just manaufactured for this fight, it dates back to a video evidence way back after his fight with Morales. So we have video evidence of Pac saying blood test affect him way back from 2005, where is your video evidence of Floyd being concerned by that 1 punch possibly ruining his career because it was enhanced by PEDs prior to the pac negotiations?

    Because the N.S.A.C has blatantly stated that they have no intention of changing their policy. Someone will have to lead the charge and force their hand. A high profile fighter demanding that all of his opponents undergo OST is a good way of doing this. It's exposing the ineptitude of the current system. Eventually, the N.S.A.C will have to upgrade their current system.

    Mayweather accepted Pac's weight penalty demanddemand with no hesitation. All Pac had to do accept and we would have had a fight, but Pac chose to face Clottey instead.

    Yes that's all well and said. But do you honestly believe Floyd is sincere as he claims, about wanting to clean up the sport?
