Pacquiao is rightly the underdog in this fight so it seems strange to me that the one favored to win will be requesting strict drug test from the underdog. It's like Michael Phelps requesting a drug test from the second best swimmer before they compete.
its not really like that at all... phelps isn't likely to sustain a serious injury or face death if his opponent is using steroids. also, phelps had a little drug scandal of his own. remember?
But injury is part of the hazard of boxing. Is the favored boxer (who some regard as the best in the world) worried that he might sustain more injuries than he usually gets from an underdog? Shouldn't the underdog be the one who should be expressing such concern?

And if I recall it right, Michael Phelps was caught with a recreational and not an enhancing drug. He wasn't using it to get ahead in sports competition. But it's wrong, nonetheless.
this has to be a joke right?

yes, injuries are a part of the sport but a fighter accepts those injuries on the basis that no one's cheating and that each fighter is using his natural strength and talent. obviously the risk of injury rises when someone is jacked on steroids.
