Much thanks to Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach, Alex Ariza & Bob Arum. You bastards soured Xmas
Malignaggi would be the first one I would expect to ask for a stricter drug screen. Even though clearly Malignaggi is a diversion, I agree no way to justify any value of fighting Malignaggi.
Agreed. I can't see Malignaggi wanting to let up in the drug testing as he has been one of the most outspoken in saying Pac is likely on the juice. In fact now I can see a lot of other opponents wanting the testing being applied to Manny now as his reluctance in this instance is hurting his integrity.

Rather than do it this time and show he is clean, he is being evasive and seemingly also backing out of the biggest money fight in boxing history. He's bakced himself into a box now. Maybe Mayweather was just trying to sling some mud, but Pac's response has ensured that the mud has stuck.
