Floyd is a fighter, that's all. He's not a commission he's not an imposer of rules where a commission already has standards.

Floyd completely blew this. Here is what he should have done. He should have put out a press release that said "Drug use is rampant among our young people and is a scourge on our society. Boxing is my greatest love and i want that sport to set an example for other sports that athletes can and do succeed without PED's. I urge my fellow champions, Shane Mosely, Manny Pacquiao, Tim Bradley, Nonito Donaire, Bernard Hopkins (and 3-4 more names) to join me in appealing to the Nevada, New York and New Jersey Commissions, in their roles as leaders, to adopt the strictest available protocols. We, the undersigned, agree to fight under these protocols and top pay for such testing for everyone fighting on a card in which we participate."

THAT would have given him some moral standing. As it is? he's just playing mind games.
if i were manny and i were clean i wouldnt hesitate to take the blood test and wave the results in his face

would make floyd look pretty silly

as it is mannys refusal and daft excuses make it more suspicious. And after all that if i were floyd i wouldnt fight without the tests

having said that i havent watched the developments for a while now, didnt manny agree to the tests in the end?
manny said he'd take the blood tests upto 2 weeks before the fight....plus tested after the fight but coward mayweather said no
