And if manny didnt come in with the weight penalty, what is to stop floyd from coming in 5lbs overweight, a promise? his word?
There are steroid tests with or without floyd. Roy Jones, james toney, fernando vargas, even more recently funeka was caught with a banned substance.
Marion Jones wasnt caught with steroids.
boxers are getting caught with standardized urine testing.
With the weight penalty, there's no harm no foul. Its simply do what is asked of you.
Floyd is asking for additional testing, on top of testing. I think theres a difference there.

That's fine but Manny has a history of doing that. Erik Morales hadn't come in over the limit before but Manny wanted to put in a weight penalty too. What was the excuse for that?
Of course. But even past heads of the NSAC have admitted that their testing needs to be upgraded. Badly.
Strange logic considering what you wrote before that. Shane Mosley was never caught either. And Marion Jones wasn't subject to USADA testing until 2004. And she failed miserably in that Olympics.
A lot of them are not.
Really? How about when you make fighters suck themselves down in weight?
A difference...but why is it bad?
clearly some boxers dont want to give blood 3x a week or more, especially the day of the fight. Manny has said BEFORE fighting floyd he doesnt want to give blood the day of or the day before.
Weight penalty - floyd doesnt make weight, he has to pay, like everyone else has. Ask Gozman if he didnt pay. Nothing new here..
Floyds OSTS - on top of standardized tests. redundancy, not everyone agrees with it.

not to the extremisim of floyds OSTs. blood test, sure, but not every other day. And having someone waiting for you for 5 hours while you rehydrate to pee again isnt waht they had in mind. And why did they need urine? i thought blood was that much superior to urine?
I could say the same. They only began steroid testing when mosley wasnt caught, just as marion jones
and you know this how?
What is this supposed to mean? are you telling us manny us sucking floyd down in weight by him coming in at 147? He should be allowed to come in overweight?

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostWeight penalties are to be handled by the NSAC; just like drug testing. But both Manny and Floyd are big enough to add in their own stipulations. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. That was my point. You can't say Floyd should let the NSAC do their job without realizing Manny is guilty of the same thing.
Yet if they went through standardized testing, youre telling us manny's A- side meth would slip through the cracks? Roy Jones, james toney, vargas were caught. Mosley wasnt caught, yet jones wasnt either. Both OSTs and Boxing tests were relatively new at that point.
These aren't "Floyd's OSTs". They are OSTs period. Top athletes do it time and time again. Lance Armstrong, Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt. So let's stop pretending it's so extreme.
They still don't test for what Mosley was caught for. OUCH.
I know this because of guys like Tommy Morrison who admitted use but was never caught. Because of Bob Hazelton who admitted the same. The aforementioned Mosley. Evander Holyfield. Jameel McCline. The list goes on.
It means that Manny has done these things in the past (Cotto, Morales). What is so hard to understand?
And Floyd understood and tried to compromise, going as far as 14 days. But Manny didn't want to do that either.
Who made Guzman pay? The NSAC or Funeka? There is your answer.Last edited by shogunn; 04-14-2010, 10:00 AM.

Im not going to compare a 9 second 40 yard dash to 12 rounds of boxing. One is obviously more punishing than the other. Ill let you decide which one takes that honor.
and you know this how? There was a list available on boxing scene on what they tested for and EPO was one of them.
Boxing didnt start testing for roids until 2002. Again, if you want to use these parrallels, Marion Jones, Carl Lewis werent caught.
Mannys not the only person whose had weight stipulations, cant say the same for floyd and OSTs. not hard to understand.
And floyd didnt want to comprimise on mannys 20 days. There was a medication involved, GBP even urged floyd to take it. The JUDGE even favored manny.
25% of Guzman's purse went to Funeka.
