    it affects him too of course, Cotto however is older and always had stamina problems, but as far as undergoing the exact same testing not sure about that, they drew blood from mosley when he was trying to make weight that's sacred time for a fighter, they did not due that with Mayweather. Not saying it was arranged but it did work in his favor.

    No, Erik Morales and Roy Jones are perfect examples of real shot fighers.

    Your argument is not based on truth. Its all based on assumptions. What you fail to understand is that Cotto has already said it want bother him at all. I think he's been boxing long enough and gone through enough testing procedures to know. So this topic of discussion is pretty much dead. No point in continuing.

    How stupid are you? yes he didn't pass out, no taking blood from him sure as hell didnt help. Mayweather would of beat him regardless it was fairly obvious Mosley was afraid of fighting him for a while and he only did for the paycheck your acting like it's no factor at all though it wouldn't be requested/required if it wasn't :hat the more you know.

    Im tired Floyd will beat his ass, of course Cotto agreed to **** for highest payday he'd be stupid not too, and it's just best not to go into truth and assumptions too many media outlets and websites with different things to say sometimes made up etc. It's hard to distinguish what is the actual truth etc. and even if some things are true a fighter may deny it for there own reasons, I agree though no point in continuing peace out.

    You don't have to get all upset like some female.

    I'm saying is the point your making is,............well, pointless. When a man says blood testing doesn't bother him then that throws all the advantage B.S. out the window. You've done nothing but assume this and assume that. No facts to back it up. None whatsoever.

    Both fighters are taking same testing. Both have no problems with it. Therefore, no advantage for anyone.

    This would be a different if we were discussing the Cotto/Pacquiao fight because Cotto was not happy at all with coming down in weight.

    Cotto is a clean athlete, so he has nothing to worry about.

    Cotto ain't shot but he's a mentally broken fighter, he got his heart ripped out and stolen twice now, there's no going back. Physically he's at the best he's been since pre Margo but mentally dude is just gonna fold when he's getting outclassed and made to look foolish vs PBF

    Nope. Cotto is a B fighter. I've always said it. This is going to be Gatti v Mayweather 2. Outclassed.

    No one is saying that it's fatal, I don't think I've seen a single post suggesting that.

    What we're clearly saying is that it COULD affect certain people. Not all people react well to blood tests just like not all people react well to alcohol or many different things. If it doesn't affect Mayweather, it doesn't mean that it won't affect others, especially aging fighters like Mosley.

    It's not even relevant as to the talent. Floyd could fight the guy who only fights in local gyms and he'd still demand the tests.

    See, thats what people don't understand..mainly the Pacquiao fans...The drug testing has 0 to do with skills etc etc... It's the fact that there should be no reason not to test.

    Team Pacquiao went through excuse after excuse after excuse until they just gave in and looked for something else....Marquez 4 anyone...maybe Cotto 2...

    Floyd said it best when he said "Win, lose, or draw you still have to take the tests."

    ESPN is the media monster and they don't want to show this for some reason. They encourage testing in every other sport but when it comes to the guy who puts up smoke and mirrors in Manny Pacquiao, they choose to give him a pass and not report as much on it.

    Damn shame for the sport...
