    He is right. This wasn't even brought up seriously until Floyd started mandating it for his fights.

    *******s must be all butthurt now. The 2nd biggest fighter in the game is turning these drug tests down and there is no reason for him to. That is something that makes the sport look bad. NFL and MLB are now doing random blood and urine tests which use a much newer and better procedure. Boxing should follow, but Manny should get on the train and help..wonder why he doesn't?

    Boxing needs to rid itself of promoters ,and have universal controll ..I don't see how the sport can get better with testing etc until the corruption is removed ..

    Better testing is certainly something that boxing needs. However, you're right about this ****. He's nothing but a hot topic bandwagoner. What was his response when Judah asked Shane to be tested? :think

    All I heard from him was crickets or when Jean Pascal asked for testing from Hopkins .I'm not opposed to extra testing ,I just don't want to hear it from people like him .

    find a way to make testing mandatory at all levels, or at least at the championship level.
     
  9. Just the fact that two big-name, high-level fighters have been popped on testing in the last month shows that Boxing needs standard testing.

    and that probably wont happen, that's why I think boxing needs government regulation.

    VADA testing should be done for all major TV fights. Only 10-20 thousand dollars and extremely thorough.

    Floyd exposed the truth and hopefully boxing is finally waken up. Drug testing was bigger than PAC, the fact that top athletes have adopted floyd stance highlights the problem we have in the sport.

    Even people who think they are clean are taking illegal substances without knowing.

    its part of the sport. its like any other sport. once they advance the testing, athletes find another way to get around it. look at baseball
