Floyd shoulda "manned up" and just fought him without the test. None of Pacquiao's other opponents had a problem doing that. It was only the "greatest of all time" who was worried about his health. Rofl Floyd used the drug testing as a pretext to wriggle out the fight. He never wanted any part of Pacquiao and he still surely don't. The whole goddamn worldwide boxing fraternity knows this.
Doesnt it say something that despite all the rumours that were going around at the time that he accepted additional testing? Maybe I am wrong but if someone accepted testing without a skipping a beat mean anything? The guy was the champ and could have easily said F U and milked the belt fighting several other fighters
Tyson should have manned up to i guess . . . he was trying to wriggle out of the fight with the holyman
I think it does mean something which is why even though I have my own opinion I still don't hold it against him. But I also think like today there were things to beat these tests. Steroids will always be one step ahead of testing because as soon as the find a way to detect there is another way to mask it.
this im sure will get lost as just one more answer lost in many.. This content is protected This content is protected people who get caught fcuk up, get lazy, get grassed up. BALCO happened because someone sent a sample of the compound in and it was reverse engineered. if it wasnt for that sugar shane and co would NEVER have fessed up or got caught. the same naive people would be sticking up for them claiming innocent till proven guilty. the best athletes are the best athletes and when theyre at the top of theyre game gear is normal, its not cheating its a level playing field. lance armstrong was the best in the world and he beat everyone else who was on gear.. (deny it, the fcuking tour nearly fell apart one year cos so many teams were caught..) why has no dominant boxer ever been caught? cos of the pathetic procedures in place for the last 50 years.. boxing authorities are even less interested than the tour authorities in cleaning the sport up... wada vada... LOL drug use is rampant in sports and those labs/coaches responsible are 1 step ahead of the game all the way. steroids are already old hat n you wait till genetic engineering overtakes drug use. it will happen and its almost certainly happening now but in its infancy..
What? How did Floyd know in advance that Pac wouldnt take the test? And what do you mean Floyd still doesn't want a piece of Manny when Floyd has looked better than Manny since 2009 and Floyd was ALREADY considered a better pure boxer in 2009. If there was a gap in ability between them in 2009, what is it now? LARGER. Some of the things people post here don't make sense, we need to set age limits for BF24.
Not even written well and still potentially the best PED-related post I've seen on these forums. Don't worry, though. You are sure to not get any of these trolls to agree to this. They simply determine where it lies on their agenda pushing... and then push.
He didn't. If you think he did, then you'd be saying that Floyd knew Pacquiao was on PED's, in which case you are saying that Floyd knew Pacquiao was on PED's. You won't even get any responses from the ardent Pacquiao supporters on this site (I still think it's just a lot of Lance and Dodong alts).
He said he never used steroids. He never said he didn't use hGH. So he could be telling the truth. We will never know either way. I can tell you there were people around him at the time (Lee Haney and Ty "Ropeman" Felder) that certainly knew how hGH worked. Again, not saying he did or didn't only that we will never know.
Yes except for all the convicted steroid cheats that have been caught the last 3 years which are many :roflatsch
Tyson and Holyfield both hated each other. Holyfield was venting like a a man going through a roid rage incedent rght up to fight night:deal Telling another man how things are going to be is not a negotiation. Floyd hated Arum with a vengeance and still does. Arum most likely threw a spann in the works by telling freddyand manny that if floyd gets the tests agreed to then he would have won a pschological battle before he bell had even runghey
He did tell the NSAC after the Moorer fight that he didn't use HGH. They asked him if he took HGH because his symptoms were said to be consistent with that of HGH use. He said no, and that was that, because they didn't test for it.
