Anyway, back to the topic. I still refuse to believe Pacquiao is doing it. If he calls off a probably $30m payday because of it then I will have to be suspicious, but he hasn't done that yet so he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Mosley seems to have largely got away with using PEDs by saying he didn't know, something I truly believed until this year, when I realized all available evidence pointed to him being well aware. But truthfully use of PEDs still doesn't get that bad a rap, both Jones & Mosley who almost certainly used them enjoy great standing with boxing fans.
Margarito on the other hand was using a method that could kill an opponent. He will forever be tarnished & will fade into history as the cheat he is.
The test itself is not an issue for me...In my opinion every fighter should be subjected to an extreme amount of testing for various substances like the ones used in the Olympics every time they have more then a 3 month gap between fight or test but my point is just because the man denies to take a test that Floyd demands it is unfair to label him a cheat....
Floyd is a master of bullshit as we all know...Funny how he manages to take focus off the fact he refuses to accept the demands of Manny's camp that he be severly fined for not making weight by having his PR people push this to all the press,,,
I compared it to the Martin Rijker fight because it is an example of one fighter using the press as a way to discredit the other while escaping any efforts on their behalf to meet any type of demands set upon them
I hope people here won't judge immediately while the negotiation is still on. This is clearly making a trial by publicity on Pac.
Floyd technically hasn't accepted the 10 million deal because he hasn't signed the contract.Quote:

Another ignorant BS thread.
Maybe the thread was somewhat rash, but ignorance is to ignore the fact that a fighter refuses to adhere to a drug test too. Just the way it is.Quote:

Yep. It's just the way it is indeed.
Refusing a straightforward test that many thousands already go through is hardly the best way to go about clearing yourself of any unwarranted accusations. Whether you like it or not, Manny has tarnished himself with his response so far.Quote:

I don't know why you are trying to defend it. A drugs test is the correct thing to do and deserves a place in every major fight. It's great that it has been called for in the biggest money fight in boxing history.
Do you really not think so?
I don't know about Margarito. But Mosley is doing really well aside from that Judah scandal. So let's put a period to that.
As for Pac. NSAC says he's clean. Then by god he is!
End of.
You need to read up on some of the threads before coming to such firm conclusions. Pac might be clean, but current testing procedures are not enough to determine that.Quote:

I believe what I know. That current testing is limited and that the proposals Mayweather is suggesting are far more comprehensive. The commisions are outdated and haven't kept up to date with the ability to test for a full range of illegal products.Quote:

Then you should address your opinion or complain to NSAC then. It will take process. They will vote on it, etc, whatever. But Pacquiao shouldn't be tortured for refusing to take the test.Quote:

Mayweather is scared, plain and simple.
Mayweather's the one that accepted Pacquiao's bogus terms, yet Manny couldn't run further away with his tail tucked between his legs, it's been Pacquiao holding up the fight from the get-go so don't see why people are acting so shocked that he's pussying out, when he'd rather fight Malignaggi for chump change instead of fighting Mayweather for $30 million minimum, there's something upQuote:

Mayweather has made his popularity by avoiding dangerous fighters such as Margarito, Cotto, Mosely, Williams, he's doing it again against Pacquiao.Quote:

When did Pacquiao avoid dangerous fighter?
None. Never.
Mayweather is the one who's pussying out.
