And the "great" manny pacquio didnt wanna take random blood and urine test with no cut off date.....and people had absolutely no problem with it.
And,

a coward and a duck...Wow!

No, not the wrong thread.
Because look what can happen when pople cheat.
This thread is about a lives destroyed because of cheating at boxing.

The desire to win, get money and fame is very real.
And 99% of people are willing to do ANYTHING to get it.
To deny this is to deny The Truth and common sense.

And once you realize that ths IS The Truth, you will then realize that its a major Red Flag for a Pro Boxer to not want to accept random testing.

Surely your frustration would be better aimed at the people that have actually been caught cheating rather than those who you think might have been cheating then....there's been a few in the last year or two.

When random testing is made mandatory (and I believe it should be) then you may have a case if a fighter refuses to comply. Until then, well if a fighter chooses only to fight guys that agree to random testing, that's their prerogative but not one of the rules of the sport.

TBH that sort of crass agenda driven post is a pretty sorry thing to have derived from the Collins story.

I think with the amount of money that is generated and how much is at stake and all types of influences boxing should be extremely suspicious. It should be mandatory to take the highest form of testing available. As for wrapping seems like they have done a better job but ive seen look ins during fights were they go to a shot of a fighter getting wrapped and I see a ton of people there .both fighters ahould meet in a nuetral area were 2 nsa directors hands each trainer their gloves, wraps and tape and have them put them on the side of each other so everyOne is witness.

Yea idk how he got them in remotely the same category.
Margs: had minimal traces of ingredients that may form plaster
vs
Resto: knew his gloves where tampered admittedly knew his wraps were loaded and used a banned substance in his drink.

Yup same thing

They interviewed the optometrist who checked out collins 6 months after and he said colling would have been able to fight, which brought up the ideas that his father saw more money in lawsuits and prevented his son from fighting. Which in turn caused him to get into a depression

For real? That's horrible man, his father should've have known fighting would be better for him but I own't go so far as to say that his father was responsible for his death (As another poster did).

This just goes to show you how shady boxing can be and for all the nonsense in the last 15 years, things have definitely improved, as they did in the years following mob control.
