    No, he is not doing it now. He did it then and has maintained that position.

    The key difference is that this is not something he suddenly made up to avoid drug testing with PBF.

    It is a belief he has had since the loss to Morales. Something that PBF's team is likely to have been aware of.

    I think it was really the cut which rattled him. If there was something different to him before that, I would attribute it to the way Morales fought, not to anything else. Because really, Morales applied the same strategy in the rematch, where there were no blood tests, and was just as effective (to a degree). The difference being he wasnt cut.

    Does no one else see the irony here?

    While, I'm not convinced PAC is using performance enhancers, if he was affected by the blood test before the morales fight, the likely scenario would be that was due to him having to be clean to pass the test, rather than any blood loss, given that only 5ml's or so is taken for the test.

    Seriously, this theory must have some weight, PAC knew the test was coming and had to be clean (as these tests would be scheduled) then in his next bout he looks a little slower and weaker.......

    No.

    Pac's test before the Morales fight wasn't planned. It was a last second thing. He was not aware that it was going to happen.

    If anything, this gives strength to the claim that he is clean.
