The only way to clear up any matter that is un-clear is to get it direct from the horses mouth.... Roach SAID HIMSELF he never said that so there's nothing to discuss on the "he said, she said" ****. Pinoy writers are not ALL PRO PAC dude. That's clear to see. There were a few Pinoy reporters who scored both fights for JMM. And they've been anti-PAC so to see BS reports from them is nothing new. If you base your conclusion on evidence the only evidence of Roach saying or NOT saying those things about Shane taking extra tests are right there from Freddie himself. If you chose to disregard evidence b/c it doesn't support your opinion then it's exactly that...Your opinion. Everyone's got one. It's just a lot easier to accept truth, supported by evidence for most.
Us fans can only go by whats reported. I would think that if that reporter was slandering Roach, Roach would have been up at arms about it. Roach could have very well said what was first reported to try to get Mosley on the defensive about taking the tests......... ......but instead, Mosley manned up and did what Pacquiao did not have the courage to do..... Mosley responded with something to the effect, "lets do it, I'll do whatever type of testing they want as long as Pacquiao does the same." ......only after that do we hear Roach recanting he ever brought up PED testing. It has got to be embarassing to attempt to diginify and defend how that whole Pacquiao team handles the media in regards to matters like PED testing.:-(
Nah.... The only thing that is embarrassing about the whole PED ordeal was how Floyd ended up looking at the end of everything. PAC and Roach are for testing and a clean sport but feel it's the job of the commission to create and enforce the protocol in ensuring the safety of the fighters. I'm sure the testing measures will progressivley get better with time and I'm sure ALL fighters will adhere to those requirements.
Agreed. The fact that they avoided random PED testing like it was the plague, and how PED seems to always be an issue surrounding Freddie Roach and Co. is disgraceful.
If they believe it to be the job of the commisionto enforce and create then why is Roach being quoted in an article that he will insist on prefight testing for Mosley? .......and as for Pacquiao, you cant say a damn thing about anyone to dismiss this.....

The stuff that Pac was saying sounds like it came from Roach. I personally think that Roach knows Mayweather is wrong for Pac stylistically which is why the blood testing is such an issue. Mayweather is scared of Pac's speed and power yet May agreed to 8 ounce gloves giving Pac all the power and speed he wants. As well as alowing himself to be blood tested during heavy training for Pac. Pac's camp won't do that for Mayweather because Roach knows whats up.
There are a lot of "QUOTES" out there on the web that have been fabricated to get folks to read. Especially on the internet. That's why it's always a better look to get a direct quote straight from the horses mouth. Roach said DIRECTLY he never demanded Shane take any tests for the fight with PAC. That's proof, evidence...support..what have you. The vid you posted I didn't bother watching b/c it's beating a dead horse....everyone or at least the strong majority have heard all the bull**** that Floyd created to duck this fight and PAC has been more than flexible in meeting Floyd more than half way....he's gone ALL the way in order to corner Floyd who some how managed to wiggle his way out of the fight with PAC.
all you burrito boys who want to see jmm instead of mosley tell me how did mosley vs floyd sell more than floyd vs pee pee?
Do you know anything about trading and the stock market, racist piece of ****? What is Mosley's stock looking like after is last two performances?? What is JMM's stock looking like after his?? Who is more marketable, and who will pull the Large Hispanic Market??? 1.4 Million people saw Mosley completely outclassed and embarrassed. Where are they going to find another 1.4 million to watch Mosley get humiliated again???? 1.4 million dumbasses to spend $50 on a meaningless, predictable, pathetic fight. On the other hand, the JMM-Pac fight has A LOT of selling points.
You are both right, here. Pre-fight testing is ADDITIONAL testing, in Nevada...as the default testing done is post-fight. However, it is additional testing, which can be ordered by the NSAC, based on certain criteria, not necessarily by the promoters or the fighters.
I was actually hoping Roach's demands were true. I'm fine with whatever it takes to stop the Mosley fight from happening.
Marquez cannot compete you saw his last fight? I dont judge mosley based on he was fighting a middleweighet that didnt want to get hit and the very best boxer around
