Should Taylor demand thorough drug testing for his fight with Andre Ward?

Taylor should be requesting someone to help him pack his gear up. I enjoyed him when he fought but I don't want to him fight again.

until he got caught he looked very good imo. the taylor who fought abraham beats everyone else in the super six except ward, but he does have a chance there too. im also favoring ward but taylor is a live underdog, thats all im saying. taylor is way better than kessler. kessler has limited skills and no heart, hes all hype son. all he did in that fight against abraham was jabbing abes guard.. i had abraham winning clearly even without the knockout. taylor is done.

he looked good enough against kessler to lead me to believe he will have no problem with taylor.. i think taylor will seriously gas if that fight goes past 8 or 9.. taylor also didn't look very good against abraham. all my points in april on ward. until he got caught he looked very good imo. the taylor who fought abraham beats everyone else in the super six except ward, but he does have a chance there too. im also favoring ward but taylor is a live underdog, thats all im saying. taylor is way better than kessler. kessler has limited skills and no heart, hes all hype son.

I don't know why he would. It would show that Taylor is scared and Taylor isn't scared of anyone. i see what you did there.

styles make fights, i wouldnt be shocked to see taylor beat ward. hes never fought anybody anywhere near the talent level of taylor, past his best or not.. miranda comes somewhat close but thats it. he looked good enough against kessler to lead me to believe he will have no problem with taylor.. i think taylor will seriously gas if that fight goes past 8 or 9.. taylor also didn't look very good against abraham. all my points in april on ward.

I think he is clean, and lets say he is clean and Taylor ask for it. And, if Ward refuses and again lets say he is clean. I will be OK with it. because, that is his right. Is not his fault that is not mandatory. He does not have to do it. Would it be great if he did and I would I like him to do it? Yes... But, I understand and won't be mad at him if he didn't. My problem wouldn't be against him. My problem would be with the commission. Like it is now. They should have this by now. There is no excuse for not having it. Is there fault that this happening. Nobody else but there's. Why are they moving so slow in putting a mandatory for this? If this was mandatory this right now would not even be a discussion. I agree with everything you said here.

ward would beat taylor anyway. true story. styles make fights, i wouldnt be shocked to see taylor beat ward. hes never fought anybody anywhere near the talent level of taylor, past his best or not.. miranda comes somewhat close but thats it.

maybe if enough boxers starts making noise about this something will happen.

I want a clean sport as much as everbody else does, no question about it, but then it should be mandatory and the rule not the exception for when an opponent demands it. Boxing matches are having enough trouble with people ducking each other, getting injured, not agreeing on fees, splits, refs, judges, locations, etc... the last thing we need are such random demands for testing.

I don't see why not. Taylor needs all the help he can get.

for those of you who don't know, ward has been getting help in training by doping guru victor conte. http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-victor-conte4-2009dec04,0,657682.story jermain taylor is next in line for andre ward in the super six tournament. do you think taylor should be following in mayweathers footsteps here and demand extra testing? discuss. He should. Ward is under heavy suspicion. In fact all super six fighters should undergo random blood testing. That would be a big step forward for a cleaner sport.

i think i'd have a hard time remaining a ward fan if he refused.. this conte stuff already kind of ruins it. taylor asking for this and ward agreeing would be a blessing. yeah i agree, it should be mandatory I think he is clean, and lets say he is clean and Taylor ask for it. And, if Ward refuses and again lets say he is clean. I will be OK with it. because, that is his right. Is not his fault that is not mandatory. He does not have to do it.

I think we should have random blood testing through out boxing. I think it should be mandatory. So Taylor could and should ask for it... but, as long is not mandatory I will understand if Ward refuses.... i think i'd have a hard time remaining a ward fan if he refused.. this conte stuff already kind of ruins it. taylor asking for this and ward agreeing would be a blessing. yeah i agree, it should be mandatory

what do you think then? I think we should have random blood testing through out boxing. I think it should be mandatory. So Taylor could and should ask for it... but, as long is not mandatory I will understand if Ward refuses....
