Team Pacquiao refuse drug testing. Fight in Jepordy

Its no different to any other major sport....whats the problem

 

I honestly think you are looking at it back to front.

It's not that it's 'not OK' for Pac or Floyd, it's that it never usually happens, it's never usually insisted on, and Floyd is trying to ***** Pacquiao around.

Not to mention he's slandering him left right and centre.

 

Yes but they're used to it. Why should Pac be the guinea pig for unprecedented testing because of something that scumbag Floyd senior said?

If you're suggesting a rigorous testing regimen, from top to bottom, then no sport has that.

 

Icemax just has a problem with Pacquiao, it's obvious. He's been seduced by the foundless allegations of the classless Mayweather punks.

 

Who would pay for it and administer it?

Do you think there is a problem with steroids in boxing to justify it?

 

Why not just agree to do it?

Holyfield did it against Tyson - no doubt there are many other examples.

 

Why make the demand in the first place? If we don't trust the testing we have in place, doesn't that bring all boxing results into question? Or is this about Pacquiao? Even though he's passed every previous test and there's no evidence to suggest he's on drugs, are we demanding this because Floyd Senior decided to mouth off and garner himself some attention? Attention he sorely needed after Pacquiao showed him up for being the average trainer he is.

 

I'm not demanding anything, and don't have an issue with Pacquiao - it's just that knob he has in his corner...... but that's a separate thing altogether and isn't relevant in this case.

Maybe he could simply rise above it and do it anyway, hopefully (for him and his fans) give Mayweather a beating and move on.

 

I didn't realise that top flight fighters were so sensitive

The only way to create a level playing field in the sport is to introduce a rigorous drug testing regime. By saying that we can't do anything because it is difficult or impractical then you are in fact saying that cheating is OK.....it isn't. Last year World athletics took over 100,000 samples for testing...it isn't impossible.

The one thing that does worry me is the attitude of some supposed boxing fans...how can proven cheaters like Mosley, Vit Klit and Toney still have fans? Its strange...you wouldn't shout for this man knowing what he did

:huh

Because I think that there should be a comprehensive drug testing regime in the sport :-(

 

But it's the bully and victime scenario though isn't it? The Mayweathers make a foundless remark and then demand testing no other boxer has ever been subjected to. If you're a victim, you roll over and agree to the bully's demands.

Part of me suspected wasn't serious about making a proper comeback and this just proves it. If he's demanding this for a Pac fight what kind of demands would he make for a fight with Shane?

I think he knows how hated he is and is scared to lose because people will **** on his legacy. He's trying to find a way to make it look like he wanted to fight the best without having to actually fight.

 

This:deal

 

This is getting painful, I knew you were going to say that. Are you just being deliberately stubborn or are you a little thick? You said, you think all boxers should be subjected to Olympic style testing. Do you think all athletes from all levels are tested like that? Please think carefully before answering. That was the only point I was making and was not advocating cheating.

Who would pay for all this testing? We don't have a world governing body and most small hall shows operate on a shoe string budget. I think you know all this though and are just looking for a moral platform to sneer at people from because you don't want to see the sense in what people are saying.

And just to preempt what I think you'll say next. Yes there should be a world governing body but, even then, not all boxers at all levels could and would be tested.

 

Right, so you were shouting from the rooftops about Olympic style testing before Floyd's alcoholic father made his foundless remark?

 

Promoters and governing bodies

We all know that there is a problem, we just don't know how big a problem
