Someone comes out and says Hatton is a doper. What do you say then? Oh yes, he is a doper take some test to prove otherwise or do you say that's a load of BS? If you think that Hatton then has to prove his innocence, you've already accepted the possibility that Hatton is a cheater. Btw, that's a lot of anger there eh? Hit a nerve huh?
I hope so. Actually I hope the commission adds some sort of blood testing to their current tests so that we don't have to go through this crap again.
Becuase I'm not a Floyd nuthugger. The intention of this was not to say if Pac's cheating, Floyd's scared, etc., etc. It was just to point out that either one of them could have budged to make the fight and neither of them did. Therefore, I blame both. They both passed on a $40 mil pay day.
I'll give it one last shot. They went to a mediator, a retired judge. The judge then takes the demands in, any evidence and then he has the authority to derive at a conclusion and then make an offer that both parties are to accept or not. The key here is evidence. Whatever Snr, Jnr, Roger, or Jeff declare is meaningless without cold hard evidence to a judge. Do you see this? Thus Weinstein ruled with the evidence presented. And the result is that you can't force someone into olympic style random testing on a hunch, just because of how you "feel." This is why in his offer there were no randoms within 24 days. Weinstein could have forced Manny to submit but he didn't for lack of evidence. If you can't see that a judge presided over this mediation rightly so, then it's you that has a problem.
With the above in consideration, you can't help but admit it was Floyd who was the stumbling block in the negotiations. His accusations and demands were a little far fetched when you look at it honestly. In my books, Pac recieves little blame. That said, the fight will still take place
I understand all of that and the original post said that Floyd blew the mediation. Now a question for you - in the beginning, if Pac would have agreed to Olympic style testing the fight would have been signed and none of this would have happened, right? All I am saying is that at one point or another either fighter could have made the fight a go. Regardless of who was right/wrong, either could have made it happen.
It's illogical and wrong to force someone to prove a negative. That's not how our world, nor our legal system works. You can't accuse a person or persons of something and then put the onus on them to prove their innocence. I don't know how else to make this more clear to you.
Re: Did Mayweather's dominant win over Marquez enhance his legacy Beating two of them after Mayweather had already softened them up and exposed them. BTW who looked better against Marquez? Some feel that Pac still hasn't legitimately beat him. J.E.Cash - "I'm not biased"
In our legal system you are correct. We are talking about a sporting event. Would you feel differently about it if Pac was never accused of anything and Floyd just came out and said, "In light of recent events where fighters have been caught using PEDs, either by testing or other sources, lets both take blood tests. Especially since this is the biggest fight in history."?
But why must it be Pac who has to go ut of his way to prove his innocence? You're ignoring the fact that these accusations are baseless, and have been born from no proof what so ever. So again, why must Pac comply to these insults? Yes either fighter could have made it a go. But I want you to ask yourself one question.....Out of the two, who is the one who is making excessive demands?
I haven't been arguing who's right or wrong, just that they could have made it happen. In my starting post, I said Floyd blew the mediation which made me wonder if he really wanted the fight.
