Yeah, I'd love to know if ALL my favorite fighters are TRULY clean but the opportunity hasn't arisen for some of the them. I've always known the NSAC testing system is a joke but for my favorite fighters I just assume that they are clean. But in this case, my favorite fighter Mayweather is proving that he is clean, while one of my other favorite's Pacquiao is not. If you're asking me would I rather see them fight without the USADA testing then see them not fight at all. I'll tell you that I'd rather see the fight and hope that both guys are clean. But the fact that Manny does not wanna take the test is a huge red flag. You can bring up whatever other boxers and what not but that's not important really. Juanma's opponent could ask for USADA testing but he don't care. In this case with so much on the line, so much legacy on the line, Mayweather wants to prove he's clean and know that he's facing a clean guy in the ring. Why in the hell would ANY boxing fan be against that? Maybe this would have set a GOOD precedent and other big fights would start to have it. The point of the matter is that if Zab Judah tests positive for PEDs, really I don't care that much because of his impact on the sport, if Floyd or Manny tests positive, that's just a MUCH bigger deal. That would be like Lebron James, Peyton Manning, Tiger Woods, testing positive in their respective sports. Nobody really cares about Juanma right now because he's not the face of the sport. Floyd and Manny are. It's a completely different stage and a completely different set of responsibilities. These guys have to understand that the public has the right to say anything they want and they can prove the public wrong or not. Floyd is willing too. Manny is not.
