I would absolutely be shocked. Roach said a while ago that they had no interest in fighting Shane. I don't put much stock in titles anyone. They are a joke in todays scene. Honestly, do you really see Manny's accomplishments in the same lights as the All-time greats ( I'm talking top 10)? If LeBron, Kobe or Pujols refused some sort of advanced testing would you feel the same way?
If the governing body of the sport was pushing it? I wouldn't mind. But if the opponents were because they had some malicious agenda? Screw them. If I was Pacquiao, I would've allowed the test in exchange for a 60-40 share if I passed it.
Exactly! I mean, if Kobe were asked to take a drug test outside of a governing body by Lebron, I doubt Kobe would even consider it. This is what I think from all this dancing around. They both don't want none of each other. If their skills are miss-matched in PBF's favor as some people here claims, he shouldn't be worried. For whatever reason, I think Mayweather IS worried. In fact, I think both of them are a little scared of each other. PBF is not a risk taker. Pac would fight but don't mind the excuse to back out. They don't really need the money, so it's all playground rules.
Freddie Roach is going to say good things about his own fighter, of course. Wait, so you're telling me that snoozefest against Clottey was a perfect example of Manny's boxing? Have you ever seen any other Clottey fights? He NEVER throws punches!
Yep, I really don't see this fight coming to any conclusion anytime in the near distant future... They both have the money already...
They didn't require a drug test in mlb either. There were some guy like bonds who wouldn't have been caught by the mlb testing. PBF was willing to take a mil dollar per pound penalty for being overweight.
The drug testing is a joke. It's sad but that's the way it is. Did Floyd have an agenda when he accused Manny? Of course, but it's been speculated on for a while now. Everyone knows Holyfield juiced and he's never been caught. Shane Mosely has passed every single drug test and yet he admitted he took EPO for his second fight with DLH. It's amazing how people will turn a blind eye to everything when it comes to Manny.
Manny was okay with the testing. He just didn't want blood to be drawn right before the fight. And he was okay with drawing blood right after the fight.
Dont you just get more fatique if you had you blood drawn right before the fight? Isnt it the same getting it drawn right after.
It's completly random. Choosing when you have the blood drawn pretty much means the tests are worthless. Victor Conte stated that you could have stuff out of you system in less then 24 hours. I do value his opinion on the situation since he is clearly an expert. Let me pose this question: If you had to bet your entire salary for a year on whether Manny was clean or dirty which side would you choose?
Not at all. The blood drwan is so minimal is doesn't have any effect. Shane and Floyd wouldn't agree to it if it puts them at a disadvantage (which they did at the beginning of this week). All Oylmpians go through it as well. I love watching Manny fight. He is also a good person and one of the mosty exciting fighters I've been able to watch in my lifetime. I just don't believe that he's not on something. Even if he tested postive I would still be a fan. I like Shane, Holyfield, James Toney and RJJ still.
If the Nevada state commission is not required to do the random blood testing and since it ain't the Olympics, why not have both of them on steroids and all other enhancements and just let them fight bare fisted??? Who really cares at this point right??
So what is the point of watching boxing?? Why not just have them fight bare fisted and in the streets until someone gets knocked the F out or death occurs..
I hate these kind of bets... It's like saying, would you bet 1,000,000 dollars that Obama won't win the next elections. It's human nature not to accept a bet like that even if you're 90 percent sure. It also lays blame on the accused. If anyone's serious about making a bet, you'd make it a 100 dollar bet. Anyways, I don't think Manny's doping because I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. He's never proven otherwise and I'll be the first to admit he's a cheat if he does test positive.
Because it's my favorite sport and I appreciate it. Titles are meaningless to me. I pay attention to p4p rankings and watch fighters I enjoy. What you are saying makes no sense
