Thread: This is ridiculous!

The level of Pacquiao-fanboyism going on right now is insane. We ALL know the news about the fight being in jeopardy because of Manny's refusal to take USADA Olympic style testing. But what I don't understand is the number of people DEFENDING Manny and the moronic reasoning behind some Saddonians' defense. Manny is the most exciting fighter in the world, honestly, I had no type of suspicions about Manny because his workrate has always been topnotch. He's like a fireball. Even when he moved up to 147 he pretty much looked the same and fought the same. But once I started thinking about it, I guess I could see how there are some suspicions. But this whole debacle around the tests is really proving that something is up and I don't see how any of yall could not think this deep down. Once Manny agrees then this is a mute issue but he hasn't yet. Floyd has agreed to the 10 Mil penalty, site has been agreed upon, everything is done, but Manny won't agree to the tests? You have a chance to make 20 Million dollars and all you have to do is prove that your clean and you won't do it?

Taking a blood test during the initial press conference and after the fight SIMPLY IS NOT ENOUGH!!! Floyd and his team are completely correct. The USADA tests are random and would be administered anytime during training. This is HUGE because drugs like EPO (which boosts red blood cells and increase stamina) and some steroids and some steroid blockers will be out of your system (blood and urine) in days. So a test before training and after the fight is basically saying that with the right knowledge, you've got a two month window to do PEDs. If you're using EPO for example (EPO effects last for several weeks after), you can simply take it during training up until the week before your fight and it will be out of your system after the fight. Shane Mosley proved this...ALL THE WAY BACK IN 2001!!! But taking blood is important. Because PEDs may not show up in the urine/blood because of blockers but the blood may show abnormally high red blood cell counts (precursor to EPO) and may show abnormally high levels of testosterone, IGF-1, DHEA, etc... And these results can confirm the use of PEDs. But the fact that they are random is most important and is what ensures that they will probably catch anyone doing PEDs.

The problem is that not enough people are aware of the different type of PEDs. This isn't the 80s-90s when people were taking horse steroids and what not. Now there's even gene therapy, which is CRAZY. Athletes are always ahead of the curve and will figure out a way around the system. Just because Manny is a philanthropist/humanitarian and a all-around good guy doesn't mean that he doesn't take PEDs. Just because he doesn't speak good English and seems kinda shy on cameras doesn't mean that he is nieve and doesn't know what a steroid or PED is. All this talk about needles and all that is complete nonsense and is BS. I'm not a fanboy, I can call a spade a spade, and that excuse is BS. I'm not saying Manny is on roids, I"m saying that raising all this fuss over USADA testing, the SAAAAME testing that Floyd is willing to put himself through, is raising my eyebrow and everyone's eyebrow should be raised. All this talk about Floyd's a BITCH, and Bob Arum calling him illiterate and Manny's team saying Floyd's just scared is all pointless. If Manny is truly clean then just do the testing. If the fight is off because of this and Manny basically throws a guaranteed $20 Million dollars in the garbage, then you can bet your bottom dollar he was afraid of a lot more than some stupid needles.

You say you are not a fan boy?

Er Wrong!

Everyone knows you hug floyds nuts.

If Manny has to take this kind of test, then every fighter should have to do it.

If we are going to change boxing, let's not do it on whim. The rules have already been set. Let's not make rules up as we go a long.

Floyd is just a pussy who don't want to fight Manny and he is using tactics to make Manny fold out of the race, well guess what? Guess who stands more to loose here? Floyd does because Manny is the king and if Floyd does not get a chance to de-throne Manny by fighting him, guess who is still the king?


Manny.

Floyd needs to stop being a little bitch and just fight the man already. God knows Floyd has ducked everyone else. I am sure Shane Mosley will fight Manny with out having to go through a bunch of red tape.

I hope Floyd ruins this entire thing and we see Manny vs whom ever else they see fit to match him up with.

If anyone was using Roids it was floyd when he was moving up. Look how big Floyd got against ODLH. That dude got bigger arms than me out of no where? lol get the hell out of here. He was a little pip squeek and then he was blown like Stallone out of no where. I think Floyd is talking from experience myself. Why else would he be going after Pacquiao like that?

Funny, makes you wonder why a drug test would want to make Manny fold out of the race. There's no real legit claim to why Manny should disagree on the drug test especially if Mayweather goes through the same.

And I can guarantee if Mayweather was the guy who refused the drug test you'd be saying the exact opposite. You'd be bashing Mayweather and saying he needed steroids to beat Pacquiao. But because its Pacquiao you say its a Mayweather tactic to make Manny back out

If manny has nothing to hide, then he should take the test at any given time. For the amount of money at stake a blood test is a silly reason to jeapordize the fight. Something is definaltly up here. But people are so forgiving cause they want floyd to loose so so bad. And that's the real sad part. Switch places and have it be floyd refusing this test or anything everyone would be whinin and cryin. The hate for floyd is at an all time level of riddiculousness

....Well said agreed 100%....I have said the same thing in other threads and have gotten killed for it...I think all fighters should be subjected to this test....I don't think this is something that should be don't at the whim of an opponent....This is certainly a very valid point and certainly a very valid arguement to put forward and have put in as a rule to the sport....These enhancement drugs are a problem and should be banned but we can not have fighters be allowed to make demands like this and superceed the commissions regardless of how many times they have dropped the ball.....


As for the rest of the post you are correct...Floyd is the one to lose out...He is not the P4P king Manny is...Even if Floyd did not retire chances are he would not have fought the guys need be or moved up enough to keep the crown and Manny would still hold the position....

I love how people are turning this into a Manny fan versus Floyd fan thing instead of just looking at it from an outsider standpoint and fan of the sport as a whole...

And you are again Correct about Mosley...Shane would fight either with zero hoopla and let the in ring fighting decide the outcome....

Floyd for as good as he is in the ring causes more bullshit out of it then any fighter since Ali but has yet to garner the respect of the fans the same way

Floyd is afraid Majesty admit it. Floyd was afraid to fight JMM at an even weight and came in like at 160. We know Floyd is the puss puss here son.

If Manny is roiding, then Floyd was too. Look how big Floyd got. No one was forcing Floyd to take extra blood test out side of the norm of boxing. It's not in the rules so why ask for it. Floyd can't go around changing boxing at his own command. Floyd is not the one in charge. If the boxing authorities agree to change the rules, then so be it but we can't have fighters making up the rules or changing them as they see fit. There is no doubt things are not right in boxing, but Floyd is going about it the wrong way. I am all for Government intervention here.

Floyd is subjecting himself to the same testing though. Boxing is almost entirely up to private contracts, they can ask for whatever they want. Should all fighters that come in overweight also be charged 10 million dollars per pound? Is that a precident we want to set?

It's not as if Floyd is asking manny to do anything he isn't willing to do him self...

There is no way Floyd is scared of fighting him, manny and or his team have been more responsible for certain fight stipulations than Floyd lol

This would be because Floyd is no longer juicing.

If a fighter comes in over weight, there should be no fight.

Well if he's no longer juicing what's the problem any benefit from it would be out of his system by fight night.

Why? If Mayweather comes in overweight and the fight goes through Pacquiao gets 10 million dollars per pound. Pac's team made no clause of fight cancellation, only monetary retribution.

Both sides have been guilty of stipulations. Yes Floyd agreed to fight ODLH at what ever request ODLH made. Of course and why wouldn't he. ODLH was shot, is shot and will continue to be shot no matter what stipulations he might have asked for.

Floyd is afraid. Floyd I have a feeling was juicing himself. If he is so sure about Manny juicing, then it's only because Floyd himself was doing it.

And I was asked why I am was not excited about this fight?

I guess now you know.

The hell with both of these guys. I will just continue to watch what ever else is available. Honestly, I could careless if this fight is made or not. It's not the first time Floyd does not take a fight THE FANS ARE CLAMORING FOR, surely this wont be the last.
