whitaker vs jcc was for the wbc ww belt and it was at 145 catchweight you dumb mother****er.....

HAHHAHHAH....you ****ing ignorant ****...i knew that i was just mking the arguement that if pacquiao can force cotto to fight at 145 then mayweather should have the right to force pacquiao to take an extra test

[rao007]

EXACTLY!!! And why now is he fighting at 147 and couldn't have done that in the Cotto fight?

I have to agree here---they wanted to weaken Cotto a bit. That's not suprising.

so why doesnt roach want testing 6 weeks away from the fight? that sounds real fishy.. i dont believe in that making manny nervous bs.. come 6 weeks?? there has to be something else behind it

"Nevada is a great commission. They have drug testing that is sufficient. The issue I have is this, I will not let anyone take blood out of Manny Pacquiao six-weeks before a fight because that will mentally affect him. If they want a urine test or something else. Olympic-style drug testing, they do urine tests. I have no problem with that," Roach said.

We all know, or atleast we should, that not everything that runs in the blood stream can be tested via a urine test. Roach is acting like he doesn't know that steroids are sophisticated these days and you can't just trace them in urine. Why agree to these test if there are things you don't want done in the testing.

These tests don't affect physical perfomance ability of an athlete. Pacquiao's mental state must not be that strong if he is affected by that type of test.
Some test even take a muscle tissue sample, it all depends what you're trying to get from the test.

you're totally right about that---it shouldn't affect a fighters' performance and it didn't when Pacquiao first fought Morales and Pacquiao had to take blood tests a few days before the fight--I just think that Pacquiao subscribes to the belief that the blood test somehow weakened him and it has screwed with this psyche ever since.

People he's still going to take the blood tests whether it be 6 six weeks before or right after the fight. Just relax.

And... Your point is ?

I really should not even respond to your st*pidity. But really, Shane ain't seen PAC inject himself or take any pill orally. So there's no evidence.

We might as well go back to the days of every black person in this country is guilty because they're black, lmao

There was no point to it. What I said was that, "I think I heard" him say what he said...nothing more. And there was no response needed because it wasn't meant to be one. So leave your name calling wannabe boxing analyst self outside the door and keep your comments to a minimum.

thats got nothing to do with superstition....thats just pacquiao being mentally weak and making excuses.....if you have nothing to hide there should be no problem....if roach and pacman don't take these tests it is going to damage his legacy forever....people will start claiming he dodged drug tests..etc

roach did say he'll OK a blood test, just not within the last 6 weeks before the fight. first of all boxing is business, distant second is the chivalry of the fighters. now, this is one of the biggest fights in decades, and one should take as much territory as he can in the negotiating table. mental territory is just as important, so i guess roach is just trying stand his ground and let anyone push him around. i think that's fair.

pffft...you pinoy fans don't know **** about boxing....you just jumped on the hype train and will be off when he retires.....boxing fans were here before *******s and will be here long after the **** jump off

yet this mofo thinks pac vs cotto was the first title fight at catchweight....lol

and he still has the guts to accuse anyone to not know about boxing......thickfaced *****!

HAHHAHHAH....you ****ing ignorant ****...i knew that i was just mking the arguement that if pacquiao can force cotto to fight at 145 then mayweather should have the right to force pacquiao to take an extra test

logic. Pac "forced' cotto at 145, and cotto agreed. end of story. if PBF and Pac agree on 147 then they should come in at 147, as agreed. either of them going beyond that is clearly violating his part of the deal. why is roach being burned at the stake for this line of thinking?
