Why did Mosely take 6 blood test and Floyd didn't?

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by BOI GT, May 4, 2010.


  1. Watch the post fight interview again and listen to what Shane says after Merchant asks Floyd a question about blood testing.

    Or he could have just been making a joke. The same joke many people on here made after the fight.

    I agree with this.

    Also the number of test for both should be equal but done in random fashion.

    Of course we will get idiot who would claim it isnt random if its equal. :patsch

    Hmm. I'll pay attention to that next time I see it. But if he did say that or feel it, I wonder why Mayweather wasn't 'weakened' by it. OR, maybe that's to blame for the rough time he had in round 2????

    People can take these things in any direction that suits their bias. Funny also how the 6th test would be the *magic test* which would suddenly cause a weakness in Shane that Floyd did not also experience.

    Cause they are just making **** up to try to find some reason to say why Pacquiao shouldn't put on his big boy pants and take the tests.

    Infact they should be tested at the same time. It isnt fair if one of them got tested nearer to the fight.

    You got to love the *****s, eveything they want got to favour floyd.:-(

    Well if it was done the day before the fight, weigh in day, when Mosley looks completely stressed out he has to pee into the cup when he's about to head for Vegas and PBF didn't give blood that day, then it makes all the difference in the world.

    its because in the last episode of 24/7 when the tester shows up shane explains he will not be able to give him enough urine because of making weight and that he would rather just take a blood test. they then show him signing some forms. i am lead to assume the extra blood test was in place of the urine sample he was unable to give. so shane chose to take an extra blood test.

    So now pissing into a cup weakens guys too... Hmmmm.

    Wrong. He said he'd give all the blood they wanted, but they did not take a blood test from him. They took a urine test. He gave them like half a cup.

    Good first post. :patsch

    That is not the way random testing works, nor is it unfair. If I buy a lottery ticket and another guy buys a lottery ticket, and he wins and I lose it is not unfair, even though we both spent the same amount of money, because our chances of winning were the same.

    Likewise, if it's truly done in random fashion each guy has an equal chance of being tested on any given day. If one is tested more or less than the other it is just his misfortune, but a relatively insignificant misfortune unless you think that losing a tiny amount of blood saps your vital essence or something.

    They could put each fighter on the same random "schedule" but I imagine there are concerns about one guy getting tipped off by the testers showing up at the other guys house. I imagine the fact that this testing procedure was devised to test numerous athletes throughout a season has a lot to do with it too. Do you think they ensure that every olympic athlete or football player is tested exactly the same number of times?

    We're saying there could have been a blood test as well which didn't end up on the 24/7.
