    There is nothing wrong with insisting on stricter drug testing. It ensures a level playing field and benefits BOTH fighters.

    The only one who it would hurt is a PED user.

      True, but it will also guarantee that the fight gets delayed to to a more desirable time for Floyd, just like a disagreement on what each fighter gets paid.

          The only reason the fight got delayed was because a certain someone didn't want the full transparency that stricter drug testing would bring.

          That's not a black mark on Floyd. That's a black mark on the man who wouldn't test.

              Yet Floyd didn't demand stricter drug testing from any previous opponents. So it's a black mark on both of them. With Hatton and Marquez his mindset was let's do it but then with Pacquiao all of a sudden it's only if he takes strict drug tests. Sounds more like Floyd was looking for a way out of the fight at the time.

                Hey, churl wipe, what happened to drug testing for your and Mayweather's man Davis? No longer relevant, I guess.

                  - -Date of article is Dec 23, 2009, but that's Christmas holidays. Negotiations resumed post New Year before being abandoned.

                  Article states TBE TUE wants to introduce Olympic drug testing that had aleady been abandoned by him, so obviously the author as untutored as U and most of boxing then that results in such poorly written articles.

                  Shrugs...

                    Even Freddie Roach agrees that the fight not happening in 2010 was more Pacquiao's side's fault than anything else.

                    Floyd was the only one that signed the contract in 2010. Arum, and by extension Pacquiao, wanted no part of the fight then.

                      - -NOT at the Time!

                      Freddie changed his tune well after when the fight returns for the umpteenth time with infinitely mo' $ and better conditions to flatter TBE TUE ego.

                      TBE TUE and his crack family of felons paid an out of court civil settlement with a public letter of apology to Manny.

                      What grade U in now?
