    Considering Mosley's history of using PEDs, it seems very likely Floyd would ask him to take the same tests he wanted Pac to. If he doesn't, it's as good as saying he never wanted to fight Pac in the first place.

    I don't know to be honest. However Floyd has set himself up for more criticism. He has been down this road before.

    A few years ago Floyd signed to fight a 2-loss Zab Judah for his 147lbs title. All Judah had to do is win against Baldomir. Well we all remember what happened. But Floyd honored his word and still fought Judah.

    And all the critics, gurus and "forum posters" were asking why still fight Judah when he just lost to Baldomir. Now Baldomir is the Linear Champ.

    And the Now INFAMOUS interview with ESPN's Brian Kenney asked Floyd this same question..."Why fight Judah, when Baldomir beat him decisively". "You should fight Baldomir Floyd".

    THEN IMMEDIATELY THE BOXING FORUMS LIT-UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE...ALL SAYING THE SAME ****: "FLOYD IS AFRAID OF BALDOMIR" "FIGHTING A GUY WHO JUST LOST TO THE NOW LINEAR CHAMP...BLAH BLAH BLAH".

    And after Floyd beat Baldomir's ass...Then he's ducking Margarito:-(

    Anyway...Floyd is making the same mistake if he signs to fight Mosley...What if Berto wins.

    Then guess what...All the critics, gurus and Forum Posters will say..."WHY FIGHT MOSLEY, HE JUST LOST...WHY NOT FIGHT BERTO...BLAH BLAH BLAH":-(

    He had better. There would be greater concern in fighting Mosley, who has proven ties to Balco, than there is against Pac, for whom use of PEDs has only been speculated. If PBF would not demand more comprehensive style testing for a fight against Mosley, then it would be a testimony that such demands in the Pac contract were just an out.

    Of course, with both guys being rep'd by Golden Boy, they may agree to whatever they want to appease the public. Whether or not such testing would actually take place would be another matter.

    Yeah I know he is a partner at GBP.

    However, that one massive pay day has eluded him, a fight with Mayweather will bring that and it sets him and his family up for life.

    He doesn't have a lot of time left either so after Berto (providing he wins, which I think he will) then he has to get Mayweather or Pacquiao next to cement his legacy.

    Don't know if a rematch with Cotto is a possibility.

    Don't think fighting Cotto again would be very viable. If I handled Cotto, I honestly would not even put him back in the ring with Mosley after the two recent beatings he has taken.

    Yes, he does have to fight Floyd or Pacquiao. There is not anyone else that would be a "mega-fight", and at this point no reason to take anything less after Berto.

    No wonder it took so long to get Berto. He was waiting around hoping he could get Mayweather.

    Well, he was after Pacquiao and Floyd and didn't get either. Now he's taken the attitude of just fighting anyone good @ WW and KTFO of all of them. I would think Berto would be the last one before he gets Mayweather. I do not believe a Pacquioa fight will happen.

    Berto has just been a back-up plan for awhile now. At least he will have two titles @ WW if he takes out Berto. I can't see how Floyd or Pacquiao can claim to be top WW if they do not fight him after that.

    If either Mayweather or anyone from GBP fights w/o the testing, they will look very bad.

    This would look really bad, especially in light of the definamtion suit. it would show they were singling out Pac, and not really looking for this fair paying field.

    Hope not.

    One thing is for sure, if he doesn't call for it then he started this because he's scared of Pacquiao and if he does then he's ****ing up boxing. Either way I can't argue with whatever people say, Mayweather brought this to his self.
