    just have a cctv camera on both of their shoulders...no need for testing then. Then it would really be a 24/7 documentary.

    I don't believe any boxer is scared of any other boxer today. Mike Tyson was a different story. Other boxers did fear him.

    But anyway, Floyd ain't scared of Manny. It's strictly a business decision for Floyd not to fight Manny. Floyd has said himself he doesn't fight for legacy, he fights for paychecks, legacy don't pay the bills, it ain't cool to get hit, look at what happened to Muhammad Ali, etc etc. In other words, Floyd's business model is low-risk, high-reward. Getting into the ring with Pac is not low-risk, so Pacquiao just doesn't fit into Floyd's business plans.

    Floyd isn't ducking Pacquiao because he's scared. Floyd is ducking Pacquiao because fighting Pacquiao doesn't fit his business philosophy, too high of a risk.

    Why do people avoid risks? Because they're afraid of the potential consequences of taking that risk. Afraid = scared.

    Yet Manny would pay his bills more than any other fight in his career. He just figured a 40-1 record wouldn't look so good.

    10 million for every extra pound is ridiculous? the blood test is the sanest thing i've ever heard. in fact, it should be mandatory for all boxers for every fight. boxing is dangerous.

    I'm sure Floyd will be the pioneer who will try his hardest to make this mandatory for all title fights due to his love and respect for the sport too.:yep

    Why is that crazy?
    Floyd has a history of not making weight.
    Unlike Manny with drug tests.
