I just hope that they can come to an agreement (where the fans know we're getting a fair fight).... by uhh... next fall
It's also true that never in the sport of boxing has any fighter ever demanded what Floyd is demanding. Floyd is an all-time great, but that doesnt mean, as much as he thinks he is, that he's bigger than the sport. Floyd believes he is the greatest of all time. If thats the case, then go out and beat a former 108lb fighter and show the world that you can beat Manny even if he believes he has had some juice. Take Oscar v Vargas. Nando was the naturally bigger fighter, also world class, and full or roids, and Oscar kicked his ass.

It's all about skill at the end of the day. And Floyd is the bigger fighter naturally anyway with more skill than any fighter on the planet. Floyd just needs to grow some balls. PED's dont make you Superman, or in Manny's case WakaPacman.

If I was Manny, I would have told Floyd in no uncertain terms, to go and fuck himself. If I was also Manny, I'd be rubbing shoulders with Mr Versace and Mr Armani, because the Christmas jumper he got off his grandma is shocking at best.
So your solution is just to fight someone that has well-publicized steroid abuse suspicions because, if Floyd is really an ATG, he'll beat him anyway.
I'm sorry but that's absurd.
If Oscar knew (or was even suspicious) pre-fight that Vargas was juicing, do you honestly think he wouldn't have cared? Oscar has his jaw on the floor right now wondering why the hell WakaSumJuiceInMe doesn't just take a few silly tests. No matter how much you discredit the effects of steroids, an unfair advantage is an unfair advantage. These types of testing procedures have been requested before in championship bouts, but never at this level of the sport. Why shouldn't Floyd set a precedent? PED technology is getting better and they are becoming harder and harder to detect. IMO he's completely within his rights to request USADA testing. He even gave some leeway concerning that, allowing the tests to be conducted by others and giving them a 14 day window before the fight where they'd cut off the random blood tests. In this circumstance Floyd has been beyond reasonable and Manny has only raised more eyebrows over his alleged steroid use. It's beyond suspicious now.
