    Why can't dan-b and Fleaman (the 2 biggest Floyd haters on the Brit forum) get a ****ing grip.

    Look how many high profile boxers have been found to be using illegal substances over the years. Pacquiao's rise through the ranks has been tremendous in such a short space of time. There could be no reason for it and it could very well be down to the fact that he's a freak of nature. But there is also a huge chance he is juicing up.

    I wanna know for certain so I could certainly understand Floyd (the man who's gonna be fighting him) wanting to know for sure. Its a ****ing blood test, there not taking his arm away with them for a few weeks ffs. Get a grip of yourselves. The biggest show master in boxing at the moment is 'Dr Roach' not Floyd.

    ****'em. They wanna have these penalties in place for weight gain on the night and such they should allow other fighters the chance to have a few demands of there own.

    What about all the small hall shows? What governing bodies?

    Because a few fighters have been caught?

    You claim to want this test for the Pac v Floyd fight because you think it should be implemented thoughout the sport, but do you really think that would happen? If anything, this will just lead to the sport becoming more elitist with the grass roots boxers continuing to be treated shabbily.

    There are ways to improve the sport but making Pac take a test isn't it.

    This is ridiculous, Floyd's only doing this because he feels he's in a position to make such demands. What about other fighters, who need to pay the bills, and have no such luxury? You can't seem to separate what you think should be happening and what is fair.

    lol, Floyd doesn't make demands eh? Every ****ing fight it's the weight, the ring size, the gloves, working the referee over, he's the master of weakening his opponents chances before they even step in the ring.

    Pac takes tests, he passes tests. Why the hell should he put up with the Mayweathers slandering him and then jump through some hoops for them?

    Regardless of that, you haven't answered my previous question. How Pac v Floyd having these tests would change things for other fighters? Before you say "it has to start somewhere" think again. There's no way most boxing shows could afford to operate if they had to incorporate the costs of that kind of testing into their shows.

    Anyway, the fact you're ignoring my other points tells me you're trolling. The stupid emoticon sealed it for me.

    The tests are weak everybody knows this.

    Yeah floyd makes demands i'm not saying he doesn't, but Roach has become the worst for it in the sport by far. He actually managed to force a fighter into putting his title on the line 2lbs below the limit :-(

    It's a drugs test. He does the tests, passes them, then Floyd has egg on his face. Why won't he do them ??? Dont give me this 'why should he give into Floyds demands' **** either. Both are as bad as each other with their demands. floyd wanted it at a bit of a higher weight. He's gonna get penalised $10m for his troubles. Pac had the same thing going on with Cotto, only Cotto was gonna get fined for coming in INSIDE THE WELTERWEIGHT LIMIT

    So did Chavez against Sweet Pea. Not totally unprecedented, and I disagreed with it, especially when you consider how good Pac performed I don't think the 2lbs would make a lot of difference.

    You're talking as if there's no testing at all currently. Are you aware of what Pac has agreed to?

    Wouldn't it be great if there was just a standard set of ****ing rules?

    One ring size
    Set sizes of gloves per weight
    Mandatory blood testing
    Standardised medicals

    IMO it would be absolutely right to have blood testing - and Floyd is right to ask for it..... though his reasoning is perhaps wrong.

    70% of Athletics testing is done at Major events and those figures lie they are samples, not individually tested athletes. Usain Bolt has been quoted as saying he was tested 20 times last year alone and that was just for race meetings.

    Beijing 2008 - They still havent finished testing all the samples taken there yet. They wont finish for another year or so as they continually test the same samples with new tests to ensure no "new" drugs are found.

    Just stop for a second Olympic style testing is something like 18+ tests done over a 10 week period and people here want that for every boxer. Your crazy, seriously your all nuts on a Floyd Snr level :scaredas:

    This is nothing bt keeping the fight in the headlines, chill out it will be announced in January

    Trying to stifle debate by insult is just a tad juvenile. Whether you like it or not, other sports manage to operate drug testing regimes perfectly well...why can't boxing??

    Boxing already has a drug testing programm in place, why should it be changed for the demands of one boxer?
