Should Manny Pac go ahead with the blood test?

[Gandalf]

I said it once and i'll say it again..

To expect any fighter to succumb to bloodtesting multiple times during the middle of your training and the night before or the night of the fight is ludicris. No fighter in the history of the sport has ever had to take random blood tests in the middle of training the right before the fight... Why should Floyd be allowed to make such a rediculous request. So I guess Floyd is bigger then the History of the sport... Seriously?

Does that mean this Olympic style of testing should be implimented in every single professional fight?? If not, how is this any different AND DON"T SAY MONEY!!!!!!!


I know for a fact i am quite sluggish after getting blood tested, my wife isn't effected at all after blood being taken. Everyone is diferent...

With all due respect Usain Bolt isn't in the ring fighting againts the #1 or #2 P4P fighter in the world...

I find this to be an unusual but not entirely unexpected kind of response. Are you seriously objecting to boxing implementing rigorous drug testing procedures? And using your drowsiness as a justification? With all due respect Usain Bolt isn't getting pounded with uppercuts either.

Boxing owes it to itself to become more stringent. It shouldn't take a fighter having to call other fighters out and then having the other fighter running away to prove a point. If both fighters are being tested at the same time, then no questions can be asked, can they? Why do you have a problem with equal testing?

I definitely agree with Boxing needs to be more stringent... I don't agree with Floyd being the reason why this test is happening... If this was implimented by the commission of boxing and applied to the rules of all professional Fights, i would say nothing...

But this is not the case... This is Floyd trying to control PAC and cause a ripple in his performance...

A blood test is not controlling anybody, it is the performance in the ring that is the controlling factor. Floyd has agreed to make weight, now Manny should accept a few proper checks for once in his life too. It's not that big a deal, and for high level fights where fighters ask for this, then the same procedure should be applied. Commisions cannot be relied upon for everything and when the stakes are this high then the fighters deserve their say.
