Boxing

the problem with Haye is that he doesnt fight often, he claims he is a "fighter" but he doesnt show the boxing world that he is the best HW in the world. His abilities in the ring are examplerary, he is one of the fastest HW ive ever seen, his power is impetous. But fuck waiting a year till he gets into the ring again.

and PAQCUIAO VS MAYWEATHER is officially off

something about floyd thinking that pacquiao takes steroids, because roach doesnt want MP to have a blood test the day before a fight.

fucking bullshit

makes me wonder now, because why would he not want to take the test, is he really scared of Money mayweather, or is he taking something.

hopefully they can fix everything and fight, because this could hurt boxing big time

8CN - Freddie, todays headlines all say that Manny Pacquiao is refusing to give blood the day before the fight. What is your response?

FR - Well the sanctioning bodies and the state commissions run the boxing world, not Floyd Mayweather. Who is this guy to tell us that we have to have blood tests, or urine tests, or any tests? He's just looking for a way out of the fight. He is scared, and he's just afraid that he's going to get his ass kicked. We don't work for Floyd Mayweather. We fight for the state commission, since when does the fighter make up the rules?

8CN - To play devils advocate, Floyd's people firmly believe that Manny is taking steroids. Why not just take the test and prove them wrong?

FR - So, what if I think Mayweather is taking steroids too?, so does that mean I go out and change the rules in boxing? This guy isn't going to walk all over us, he's not railroading us. This is bullshit, we will go by the rules of the commission, and that's it. We'll go on to other things, and he can make no money fighting some bum. My fighter is clean, I have trouble giving Manny protein shakes and vitamins, let alone steroids. We will pass the drug test, because my fighter is clean.

8CN - Is it Manny refusing to take the blood test or is it someone deciding for him?

FR - It's me, I am not going to let my fighter give blood a day before the fight.

8CN - What can giving blood a day before a fight do to a fighter?

FR - It's just like having sex before a fight. You're not supposed to have sex before a fight, it makes you weak. If you mentally think that, it will. When Manny gives blood it takes him 3 or 4 days to recover from it. I am not going to have my fighter going into a fight feeling weak and not sure of himself.

8CN - Is it true that Manny never wanted to give blood the day before any of his fights?

FR - We will never do it a day before a fight. We never flunked a urine test, and there is no reason to think my fighter is dirty. We have passed every test ever given to us. We go by the commission rules, not no rule Mayweather puts out there.

8CN - So it's fair to say that the ball is completely in Mayweathers court now, you guys are not budging?

FR - Yes it's fair to say that. If Floyd wants to fight us, then step up and fight us. If you want Manny to take a blood test after the fight, no problem, but not a day before.

8CN - Wouldn't a blood test the day after the fight be the same as a test a day before? I mean if Manny was taking steroids, wouldn't the test the day after the fight show the same thing as it would the day before?

FR - Yes agreed. A urine test will show the same thing too,but if they want a blood test the day after the fight, I have no problem with that. I will not have my guy giving blood a day before the fight, that will make him weak. Why is Floyd Mayweather dictating what we do in life? It's crazy... he's a coward and he's afraid to fight us and that is all there is to it.

8CN - If this fight gets scratched, what's next?

FR - We go up and get Yuri Foreman's title. We will go up one more weight division, just for you Floyd!

I call the bullshit on Mayweather's side. It's a reasonable request but as mentioned above, taking blood right after the fight would accomplish the exact same thing. Only difference being that Mayweather may have an L on his record by then. If he were to test dirty the fight would be changed to a no contest anyway and the L removed so why is Floyd so insistent on having it done before the fight? He's just trying to give himself any advantage possible...

ok so what is wrong with him being tested after the fight? why must it be before?

Well we had Reluctant Roy, now we might have Reluctant Floyd. I could see if Pacman had a spotty record with his urine tests or maybe if he plasrtered up his gloves but he's never been caught cheating. Chavez Jr. just got caught with an illegal substance, so boxing hasn't gone as bad as baseball. Testing for both fighters is cool but it seems like Floyd's camp is pushing it really far. Just do the fight Floyd, if your as great as you claim to be, steroids or not you should still win.

dude on espn they are saying that pacquiao is not doing it because he is superstitious AHAHAHHAA man get that nonsense outta here ... my logical guess would be mayweather wants random testing because there may be things he can take beforehand that may not be in his system after the fight ... who knows what kinda steroid technology they got for multi millionaires these days ... mayweather is down, pacquiao isn't

i was backstagge in the fight game for 10 years

i would say 98% of fighters use some kind of steriod. and everyone knows it

the majority cant be detected anyway

all of these athletes are dirty....its been obvious for a long time now

mayweather obviously isn't ... he's agreed to random testing, something that manny isn't too fond of ... wonder why

i wouldnt doubt mayweather has the newest, undetectable steroids which is why he is so anxious to have these tests in teh first place.

pacquiao should face the winner of berto vs mosley or fight go up to fight yuri foreman

i dont see mayweathers career improving in the future, if he doesnt want mosley and the pacquiao fight is off he may aswell retire

now im not on floyds side with this, and while i think what he is pulling on pac-man is bullshit. but at the same time, if pac-man dosent have anything to hide then why dosent he just do the tests. i did wrestling in high school and we had random drug tests, it did not weaken me at all.

id take 40 million to get my ass beat by pac man
