imagine if someone went through that kind of testing the day before a megafight?

nahh. if you didnt submit your previous 40 opponents to this kind of testing and you only demanded it for pac, then you are damn scared. i bet flocaine is slapping himself right now for the dip**** he brought himself into. too bad he got cornered by his new found calling.... cleaning up the sport. no turning back for him now. LOL

 

Sounds to me like someone is having second thoughts about their man winning. When Money brutalizes Shame in the ring, then what will your BS excuses be?

 

Well we're not all Floyd and Shane are we??!! Just because it doesn't bother them two, doesn't mean it won't bother others! Shane even said it himself:

"I can see how it would bother other fighters" (or something along them lines)

This sport is not like any other. They're not sprinting to the other side of the track for 15 seconds, throwing a bouncy ball through a hoop, or running and kicking a ball for 90 minutes. No. For a maximum of 36 minutes, these guys exchanging blows to the body and head in the intent of hurting and knocking each other out. Mentally you need attain every advantage possible, especially in a bout that will be the biggest in history, and one that will ultimately define both careers!

For this reason, you can see exactly why Floyd would demand these tests, and try to win the first round of the psychological battle. It's no secret that Pac hates drawing blood so close a fight (Morales fight), as HE feels it weakens him. It doesn't matter what we or Floyd feel. It's what HE feels. And if he feels by carrying out this non-compulsory procedure it will put him at a disadvantage for the biggest bout in the history of boxing, then he can not be faulted for not agreeing to it.

Edit: And another thing, don't give this bull**** about Floyd trying to "clean up the sport of boxing". It's bull****. He don't give two shits about wanting clean boxing. We'll see how intently he pursues this cause after fighting Pac and retiring. We'll see if as a retired boxer and soon to be full time promoter, he'll request all the opponents of the fighters in his stable, to carry out random olympic style drug testing for every single one of their fights.

 

If they had something to hide then yeah it would effect you!!!

 

"Hey, I predicted that!"

Don't strawman me here Jac.

You know I want Shane to brutalize floyd, but obviously pick floyd to win a UD.

 

very well said :good:happy

 

It could possibly **** with someone. What about 14 days though? Do you think that could **** with someone?

 

Since Pacquiao weighs in currently at around 145-147 and Mayweather is now coming in at 147...Wouldnt you think Mayweather would benefit less from this testing? If it does any harm, wouldnt Mayweather get the worse of it since he does have to dehydrate more than Pacquiao? Just a thought

 

What if the other fighter is 120%?

 

It didn't seem to **** with Pacquiao's training against Hatton and Clottey. It doesn't seem to **** with Mosley or Mayweather's training either. It seems to me that the most difficult part of the process is having these guys track your every move. The actual taking of the blood doesn't seem like a big deal. They wait til after your workout. So you have a full night to recover. You weakened a lot more by the actual training than you are from having 6mL of blood being taken.

 

Part of the agreement was that both guys are tested at the same time. There is no advantage either way in that regards.

 

Any? last time i checked it was only the schedule of the blood testing he was negotiating. Urine test, blood test he was agreeable. His been checked regularly by the commission too, and never heard of him complaining about anything the commission asked him to do including all the test.
