    The whole BALCO situation showed that they need more stringent testing, I won't deny that. But that doesn't prove anyone is cheating. Doesn't prove Pac is on anything special. Just shows the testing could be upped. I'm not one of those who think so many boxers are cheating because I have no reasonto assume many are. And bad testing or a few bad apples doesn't prove it.

    All I have to say is that if I was Manny and I was clean I would have done the random testing and fought my ass off and beat the **** out of Floyd. I would have gotten my millions for me and my family and I would have giving him a rematch and done the testing all over again. I damn sure wouldn't sue them. They made 20 different excuses not to do the full random testing and that is very strange to me. Could Manny be clean? Yes. Could he be dirty? Yes. We will all know if he takes that damn test with no cut offs and whoever wins we will know that the better man won the fight. I don't see why its so hard and why people get so upset about two fighters having a clean fight. Mosley did the damn test and he did PED's in the past but he never failed a drug test and you see he didn't get punished bc he never failed a test. TAKE THE ****ING TEST MANNY AND STOP CRYING.

    And that's fine, but that's you, taking it from being more a FLoyd fan. If I know I am clean, I am not going to go out of my way to prove it if I don't need to.

    If Pac and Floyd fought with the current testing, that sure as hell wouldn't mean to me that someone got away from cheating because of a testing procedure that can't find everything.

    I see what you are saying and its not even about suspecting anyone. Its about protecting fighters and making sure that its a fair fight. See plenty of fighters have failed their post fight test but they should have been tested before the fight and not allowed to compete.

    I'm sorry, but this would all have more weight if you guys brought this up BEFORE ctrackhead Sr brought it up. Before that, no one said ****. Floyds proivided doubt for fans to run rampant with. And you have.

    You can think that mind games play a huge part in boxing, neither of us can ever prove they do or don't, but I don't buy it. Tyson beat people because he was faster, more powerful and a better boxer. Ali beat Foreman because he had more skills, a higher ring IQ, a stronger chin and a stronger mentality. Floyd Mayweather would have tooled Shane Mosley whether he had played "mind games" with him or not, because Floyd is an all-round better boxer and at this stage in their respective careers he is physically superior as well.

    What armchair fans take to be "mind games" and psychological edges are really just amateur dramatics and fake theatrics to sell PPVs and attract interest in the rivalry, but the fighters involved know that. What made Shane tight and nervous was the fact that he was in with a guy with faster hands and he is not used to that, not because Floyd had said some boring shitty comments to him at some stage.

    Well you might not go out of your way to prove you are clean but for me its not going out of my way. I would take any test and that **** would just make me want the victory that much more. You are talking about 40 million dollars. Let me explain something to you about wealth. Its measured in time not money. 40 MILLION COULD TAKE CARE OF GENERATIONS of the Pacquiao family.

    I have a feeling Pac or his family never have to worry about money again.

    And as stated, that's you. YOU would want to appease someone of accusing you of cheating w/o any proof. Other don't see it that way.

    Let Floyd petition the NSAC like he should have in the beginning.

    Well didn't Oscar ask Floyd to do additional testing and Floyd did? You talking about the same NSAC that would not over turn the loss Oscar received by a juiced up Mosley. They will have to worry about money if its not managed right and an extra 40 million wouldn't hurt. The thing I want to know is why did they agree to it and then backed off?

    No, because OScar wasn't worried that Floyd, while moving up in weight and beating bigger guys, was anything out of the ordinary.

    If I remember correctly, DLH never pursued to overturn the decision. That doesn't mean they would NOT add the additional testing if Floyd petitioned. In fact, Kiser said it would be considered, and TR said they'd go with what NSAC ruled. If they want more tedstingm, they'd have done it. TR didn't want Floyd to mandate the testing, as it's not his call.

    Interesting perspective.....but does anyone remember the weigh in of PBF vs Hatton I didnt think Floyd looked comfortable there at all!

    It was weird!

    Intimidation?? May be with DLH. He had already lost his heart for fighting. Hatton was enjoying the comedy show. And Shane and Floyd looked way too friendly. Floyd's lover Ellerbe didn't like that and approached them very quickly. I guess he is jealous guy.

    No its my understanding that Oscar asked Floyd for additional testing bc of the whole Mosley / Balco controversy and Oscar did asked the commissions to overturn those loses and they said no.
