    That's the problem. Floyd making his opponents take the test in not fair. If Pac and Mosley has / had to undergo through the process then make the rest of the fighters from 106 - heavyweight go through it. All from the very bottom up.

    That being said, fighters from the bottom of the barrel don't make that much money in the first place.

    You are correct, you would have to implement it for all or none. Not just select fighters that cry and whine when they don't get their way. The current rules are in effect right now. This fight needs to be made soon. I suggest that Floyd get to work on getting the rules changed.

    BTW, no one has ever answered my question about what steroid someone could take for 24 days and get a REAL advantage while passing a post fight blood test and random urine tests. Does nobody have an answer for this. If not your point is moot, since pac agreed to a 24 day cutoff.............

    Who is floyd to change the rules of boxing? And no the tests should not be a big deal.

    blood test itself isnt unreasonable.. Floyd demanding every fighter take it IS unreasonable. It's the commision's job to mandate what tests are necessary, not other boxers.

    Because Mayweather fought 40 fights previously with no extra drug testing. THEN, his father makes claims Pac is on steroids (because he killed Ricky Hatton), and then Floyd agrees...Slandering the man's name, and THEN he requests extensive drug testing! They are baseless claims, and it's discrimination (singling somebody out) really.
    I can understand if it were Mosley (since he has a shadow behind him), but to suggest Pac first...Discrimination, and slander!

    There's no problems with the tests. It'd be great if they were enforced in all fights, BUT for now there not. And it's simply singling somebody out because they are a great fighter.

    Yes but the system is outdated Shane admitted to taking Steroids and he NEVER tested positive using the current rules. Let's face it, it's time for the boxing world to catch up with the changing times...

    I know for a fact that if it wasn't Floyd doing the asking a lot of people who are against it would be in favor of it. Just check out this quote and it's just one of many here on ESB


    what I want to know is do we have to wait for a tragedy in the ring before the change is made? Boxing needs to be Proactive rather than reactive...
