    I called the statistical representation a lie, which I stand by. When you look at 100,00 samples you think WOW. But in fact it could be no more than 10,000 Athletes.

    Thats a bit of an understatement but can you see where im coming from ?

    Rob, I could say the same to you though. No one has really come up with any ideas, they just want Pac to agree to everything so they can see the big fight. Icemax is turning it into a moral crusade but has yet to explain to me how we would implement the testing for all fighters.

    The rest of your post is just a collection of opinions I've heard a thousand times over. Everyone suddenly seems to be an expert on steroid use when no one was really questioning Pac until Floyd senior made his remark.

    Rob, do you think having this testing will remove all the doubt anyway?

    You know my stance though, you're just looking for a way to dodge my questions by asking a dumb question you already know the answer to.

    Of course I can see where you are coming from...I assumed that people would not think that samples = athletes

    I haven't a clue what your stance is...if it is anti-doping then instead of being defeatist and saying this won't work and that is impractical make a positive suggestion.

    But your suggestions are impractical in every situation other than superfights near enough. Sorry I couldn't be your cheerleader.

    Im saying that just because they test differently it doesnt mean that their way of testing is better.

    I want a drug free sport as much as you do mate, I also want all Fanbois and Haters to be put on an island and left to fight each other to the death on a reality TV for my and your enjoyment. I also want an end to corrupt judging, all alphabet rankings and belts.

    I also want Cherryl Cole :good

    I hope Santa reads this.

    I went way off point here but Ive havent posted a christmas list yet and now seems a good time to spread a little christmas spirit :happy

    I haven't made any suggestions other than to call for a strict drug testing regime...I want a clean sport, I always have done and that has got **** all to do with Pac or Mayweather Sr

    Floyd started at 130 didn't he? And Floyd outmuscled 'monster at the weight' Hatton, stood in the pocket against Oscar at 154, dwarfed Marquez and couldn't even make 145.

    Manny took 9 rounds of solid punishment to stop Diaz, he didn't engage Oscar at all but borke him down from the outside, and Hatton was a reckless, busted flush (who Floyd KOed a year before).

    The Cotto win too, we just don't know what Margarito took away from him. And Cotto isn't a big welter.


    What Manny's done is remarkable, but IMO it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

    If this isn't just about Floyd Mayweather, I suppose everyone thinks Berto and Mosley should be Olympic tested, and the fight called off if they don't agree to it?

    Which we both know is impossible. People want to see the big fight, I understand that, but let's not pretend this is about people wanting to see every boxer tested more when really it's about Floyd being a prima donna and thinking he controls boxing.
