Have ALL of Floyd's oponents had to take that test?

[brocktonblockbust]

I mean the 1 he wants Pac to take. Also, please clarify anyone-- is that test above and beyond what the usual boxing regulations call for?

[brocktonblockbust]

if they all went above and beynd the requirement s just to please gayweather, theyre either wanting the money or just cowards.

If they did it wasn't to please Mayweather... it was to please their accountants. Simple.

If you stood to make 100s of 1000s more for fighting him than you would for fighting somebody else then why wouldn't you give a tiny thimble of blood?

Did Ortiz take the test? There was nothing on 24/7 was there? Mosley took the tests but not sure did Ortiz?

true, so then why doesn Pac need the money? maybe he's got enough already, or maybe...he can't pass that test..... for the multi-millions he could earn,
why the hell doesnt he just DO it?

I believe they all have taken the test, otherwise he would be open to being called a hypocrite.

[brocktonblockbust]

guess that shows that Big Money Floyd can demand extra shite and they go along with it for the paycheck.

The tests are above the boxing commission standard of testing.. Mayweather is asking for Olympic style testing.

I'm pretty sure the Pac fight was the first where Mayweather wanted testing above the boxing commission standard... Whatever his true reasons were, at the time one of his family members suggested that he had it on good authority that Pac was on certain performance enhancing drugs that the regular testing wasn't picking up, so on the back of that Mayweather demanded Pac take Olympic style testing or the fight wouldn't be on...
He also claimed during the Mosley lead up that he was doing it to "clean up the sport" but I would suggest that is the boxing commissions job and he should campaign to THEM to get the rules changed. Or refuse a fight until the actual rules are changed..

And alas as Master said, he has enforced the extra testing on every opponent since Pac and would look a twat if he didn't. Most likely he doesn't really give a sh!t about other opponents and i'd almost bet 100% if the Pac thing never happened, he would not be asking for extra testing now...

But it's the way it is..

I fear though that even if Pac is prepared to take the Olympic testing now, there is too much ego between them to do a deal..

Another fight that will be talked about for 100 years, because it NEVER happened...

The usual test is just urine and to me it's not enough. Too much can get by a standard drug test from urine these days.

I think Floyds opinion is right that the drug testing in boxing should be improved, I just don't think it should be him sorting it. The governing bodies etc. should have updated this years ago.

I don't think pac is on anything but christ if you want to beat floyd so bad then do 1000 consecutive cartwheels with a fish in your back pocket if he ask's. Reguardless if you hate the guy or love him this sport has put floyd way too high on a pedalstal so of course he gonna ask for retarded stuff and play games. Fight the guy beat him and take the power away from floyd. People are chasing floyd, not the other way around. I belive mayweather could retire today and not give pac another thought, and it kinda makes sense he could beat pac today and most will cry he ducking someone else tommorrow.

If Floyd beats Pac, no matter how much cries they make nor how loud it may be, it would not have any substance anymore.
