How is it you CONVENIENTLY forgot these? December 13, 2009 Michael Koncz says request for Olympic-style testing is a laughing matter and suggests they have no problem with it. Speaking to Lem Satterfield of AOL Fanhouse, Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz, suggests that Mayweather's request for Olympic-style drug testing is a laughing matter and they have no concerns whatsoever about it. "Our reaction is, 'So what?' We know Manny doesn't take any illegal drugs or anything. And none of this is getting under Manny's skin or anything. I'm here with Manny, and to him, it's like a joke. It's a laughing matter," said Koncz. "It's something foolish anyway. Why would we be concerned? We know he doesn't do any of that ****."

January 18, 2010 Team Mayweather declares random blood and urine tests with no cutoff dates for all future opponents Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe declared that random blood and urine testing will be implemented in all of Floyd Mayweather's future opponents, regardless of the opponent. "Whoever fights Floyd Mayweather in the future, that person will be subjected to random blood and urine testing. I don't care who he fights, that will be the case," said Ellerbe, who made it clear that any proposition for a cutoff date for testing was essentially off the table. This content is protected February 13, 2010 Mayweather makes it crystal clear that his terms are full random drug testing all the way up to the fight. "I gave him a chance, up to 14 days out. But my new terms are all the way up to the fight. They can come get us whenever, all the way up to the fight, random drug test. That's what it is," Mayweather stated in an exclusive interview with David Mayo of The Grand Rapids Press. This content is protected May 2, 2010 Mayweather repeats that all cut-off dates are off the table. Shortly after his win over Shane Mosley, Mayweather would reiterate his stance that all future opponents, including Manny Pacquiao, would have to submit to the same type of random Olympic-style blood and urine drug testing that both he and Mosley undertook. "If Manny Pacquaio wants to fight, it is not hard to find me. We were going to make the fight a couple of months back but it didn't happen. I take my hat off to Mosley. He had problems in the past, but he's a warrior. He took the blood and urine tests. I just want everyone to be on an even playing field. If every athlete is clean in the sport of boxing, take the test. If Manny Pacquaio takes the blood and urine tests, we can fight. If he doesn't, we won't make the fight," Mayweather explained. This content is protected Pacquiao "vehemently" denies agreeing to 14-day cutoff for random blood testing. Shortly after news had spread regarding the statement released on his official website, Pacquiao vehemently denied claims that he had agreed to Mayweather's original compromise of a 14-day cutoff for random blood tests. Pacquiao's adviser Michael Koncz would allege that Pacquiao doesn't even know who Timothy James is, stating, "He never spoke to any reporter and never heard of the guy...never talked to anybody about boxing and his main concern is campaigning and winning the election on May 10. (Floyd) Mayweather is not even in our minds or in our thoughts." Koncz would then go on to quote Pacquiao as saying, "we'll fight Mayweather or any other fighter anytime, anyplace under the rules and regulations of the Commission of the state where the fight takes place."

Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum would tell Ronnie Nathanielsz of ***********.com that the rumors about Pacquiao agreeing to a 14-day cut-off for random drug testing were "totally false" and that they were standing firm on their request for a 24-day cut-off period. "All I'm saying, right now we are holding to our position," Arum remarked. This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
Anyway consider this: After getting KOd by Ingemar Johanson, Floyd Patterson was not content with just beating the man whom beat him :yep , and stopped him twice. Whereas Lewis is 1:1 vs McCall only on record and only 4 those whom do not know d facts behind it or just ignore them like most. In a way it is, it is avoiding d fight under d rules of boxing. Even when Lewis did not duck on record (just) , did not have it his way and did not lose (again just 4 those whom ignore d facts), he cheated himself out of a fair fight. But how does it rule out d possibility of Bowe having a rematch clause vs Holyfield? maybe Holyfield & his team allowed him 2 take those easy defenses 4 reasons of their own? Also Ruddock was a far inferior fighter than d way u descibed him in your post, and was just a physically strong, but nothing special in any other department. He was exposed by n obese and aged James Smith prior 2 getting his S handed 2 him by Tyson twice (d stoppage in their 1st fight was a good stoppage unlike what many called it since).
and now...... 2014 Floyd Mayweather: - "The only way he's getting the fight with me is if he signs with Mayweather Promotions. He's got to give me fights with Mayweather Promotions. If he don't give me no fights under Mayweather Promotions, then he's not getting the fight''. - ''WBC made Pacquiao the number 1 mandatory to fight me, he can have the belt'' - ''Pacquiao is a ''HAS BEEN'' he has LOSSES'' :deal
