If a "Cheater" makes a Positive impact on life...

So say Pac or anyone else of note cheated. Say Lance Armstrong cheated. Well, cheating allowed him to make an impact on something big in life...helping Cancer research. So was cheating wrong? I'm not saying that person didn't do it for himself because that tends to be the sole reason why a person does something. Even "helping" people can be noted as doing something for "self" reasons because it makes the person feel better...or get something in return. But let's stick with the first paragraph. There's a topic for you. And before anyone says "why didn't you use Floyd"...well, Floyd hasn't made the impact these two have except in his own mind and the hearts of the Ellerbe tribe. So say "Fighter A" cheated to get to where he is. And Fighter-A makes an amazing impact on his country for the better. Great things come out of that country because of that impact he made. Does it matter? How would you feel?

Thanks. You're a good fan of boxing, although on this I can see you favour Mayweather :p At first it was 50/50 for me, both trying to get one up, but now it's time for Pac to come out and say I will take the tests. Mayweather looks better, althoguh I dodn't agree how they talked about Pac being on it, because it did affect his name. It's time to surprise the world, come out and say you know what, let's get this fight made so I can punish them in the ring. This fight is bigger than Lewis VS Tyson. Cheers to that.

Yeah that fight not going down can be balmed on him. It works both ways, but right now, I'll concede that Pac should take it because it's the biggest fight in the enxt 5 years atleast. You're a better man than the rest on here. You're right though, it does work both ways. But the spotlight should always be on the one shying away from better testing, not embracing it.

We all have our opinions, some clear and some bias. Mayweather and Mosely have taken it. The sport doesn't have to wait for Pac, they should start from now. Why does Pac get the blame? He said if it becomes part of NSACC testing he will do it I believe. I agree. Pac doesn't need to be a part of it. Where he gets blame, however, is by refusing this protocol for the biggest fight in the sport.

Boxing is corrupt. I stand that Pac is innocent. He is not breaking any laws or rules by refusing the extra tests. However I also agree that it should be clean. Along with all the other bad things within boxing like promoters robbing boxers, cherry picking, unfair advantage of ring and glvoes if your promtoer wins the purse, robberis, bias refs etc... There's a lot wrong in boxing. Heck even guys who have cheated are still around like Holyfield, Jones, Toney, Mosely. (Debatable in some cases, but pretty much most agree they have done it) I agree. Although Pac is not innocent in my view. He is guilty of holding up the sport. The testing should be there. Just because it's not law doesn't mean it's wrong. Take the tests.

Yeah the sport needs to clean up. All aspects like cherry picking, possible drug use, harsher setences on not making weight etc... Agreed, man. We're slacking, dude. Crazy how we have worse drug testing than everyone else yet everyone is else doing something about it.

Testacular cancer is also a side effect of prolonged steriod use... Not saying that it's the reason for his cancer, but it's something to think about if it's true.

According to Flomos they were both shot already and their careers pretty much over. :D He has helped thousands in the Philippines though. (Not saying he's juicing) Ok, but try to stick to the topic.

Umm...yeah, a real positive impact on life. Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto want to thank Pacquiao for his real positive impact. You know, juicing up and possibly ending their careers. Great victory for mankind. According to Flomos they were both shot already and their careers pretty much over. :D He has helped thousands in the Philippines though. (Not saying he's juicing)

This crap is so funny. Sticking up for steroids. Being great without steroids has, and will continue to be done. When you're talking Boxing is gets even more worse than it can possibly get, because now it's about putting someone's health and life at even more risk then what's already a given by stepping into the ring.

If he used any form of PED then he's a worthless piece of trash in my book. I hope not, and if he takes the test, I hope he comes clean, for the sake of the sport. Time will tell. Basically. Boxing is not a game, man. And to think...ice skaters have better testing.

Well, people pretty much believe what they want to believe nowadays as long as it fits their biases. They have a brain, but they don't use it. That's how reckless and evil this world has become. It's always been like that for as long as history has been recorded.
