kirk the issue isn't about whether Marquez tests or not, but about who carries out the testing, and the dispute is specifically between Bradley and Arum. Arum wants to pay the Nevada commission to do random testing, but Bradley claims USADA and VADA are in the contract. Marquez is fine with both.
Yes I know Marquez is willing to do testing, and its not about 'test or no test' in this case. Im not alluding otherwise. What Im saying is that theres a reason why Bradley is so insistent on this issue. Bradley is willing to walk away (supposedly) from the 2nd biggest fight of his career, over not having the testing he specifically wants, done. Theres a reason for that. And its because me, nor the other fans who have said it, aren't the only ones who think JMM might be juicing.
Or just maybe its because its on the contract that he signed to get the fight happening in the first place
Bradley demanded and got USADA testing for Provodnikov as well. I think it has as much to do with his being in a position to demand testing than it relates to the specific opponent he's up against.
Until it comes from Marquez' mouth that he refuses VADA or USADA, you cant start pointing the finger at him for who carries out these tests. Supposedly its Arum who's in charge of setting up the testing. I hope it carries out like Bradley is pointing out, I dont trust Nevada one bit. You cant honestly believe its Marquez refusing here. If anything, Marquez refusing would benefit Bob Arum. He'd have that to hold on to to point out the reason his cash cow got laid out. Arum is'nt doing that however. Once again he's penny pinching and wanting to do things his way. I'm speculating here that he's taking advantage of this Marquez-Bradley matchup to get in right with the people who will perform and guide the testing in Nevada. I'd bet that scum would want to lay out the foundation to line the pockets of the right people so that he can get positive drug tests turned into negative once for his cash cow fighters in the future. Bob Arum is a proffessional con artists, more than likely he's paving the way for his dishonesty! BOB ARUM IS SCUM, SIMPLE AS!!!
Perhaps. You could very well be right. But Bradley being willing to walk away from this fight over it (again, supposedly. He could be bluffing) The biggest possible fight for him right now, suggests to me its more then that. Just imo
Remember how the Pacquiao-Bradley decision was so appalling to Honest Bob that there had to be state and federal investigations and massive reforms? Now he wants to trust that very same commission to oversee drug testing
I think a bigger shock is why Bradley is so adamant about USADA and VADA doing the testing. Bradley is actually one of the fighters that most fit a roided freak. I cant think of one single fighter who's physique is better than Bradley's when he's in tip top shape. That guy has six packs unfolding within each of his multi-admominal packs. I dont think we should call Bradley's packs "6 pack"......more like a 48 pack! LOL! Somebody mentioned that Bradley went through testing in his last fight. If thats true, it was the first time where Bradley was void of his usual lean freakish physique. I wonder why??????? Listen, I dont blame Bradley for insisting on testing, and he should, but if he goes ahead and cancels this fight over this issue of testing, could it be that he's doing so because he himself has come off the roids and he may now be thinking I'm fighting without my PED's, but is he????? The only thing I'm saying here is that if there's a physique to supect, it would be Bradley's!
Exactly! Thats why I suspect Arum is up to one of his schemes, and it has nothing to do with benefiting Marquez. Arum only does things that benefit himself.
:roll: Yes, Tim has one of the best physiques in boxing. He went through testing that he demanded. And he was also coming off the longest layoff of his career where he also got completely bloated and over weight for the first time. All of this is stuff, are things that were in the fight contract he already signed. These are things that were supposedly already agreed to and expected. And by Top Rank not enforcing it, it is quite literally a breach of his contract. Period No, that's not the only thing youre saying. You are also taking the lame stance of somehow turning this on Bradley because he wants so much testing. atsch
Of course this is Arum. Im sure Marquez would have little problem undergoing whatever testing hes asked of. Its probably the hassle of it that's the most annoying to the fighters, not fear of being caught.
Because Pacquiao "won" two of the first three fights don't ya know. PED's were no big deal when Floyd wanted testing. Now that Marquez knocked out Pacroid they turn you into Superman. ******* logic.
I don't know how to take this one? Personally, the commission should be doing thorough testing year round. I don't think that things have gotten better since Floyd did this in his fights. Bradley will probably have to play ball as nobody wants to see him fight.
