    Is There Any Other Fighter That Would Object?

    I think even Pac fans have to admit that. I can see where Pac is coming from in some ways but I think the bottom line is, can you picture any other fighter not accepting these terms if they are truly innoncent. I dont think most guys would care at all. Floyd is a guy who never had a drink or a smoke and thinks his body is pure. I dont think he would hesitate if someone wanted this for a fight. I know people say its mental but even still.....

    I just cant see Cotto, Clottey, Bradley, Paulie, or anyone really caring. I cant see a mentaly tough guy like Hopkins caring. The only guys who may care is the guys juicing but lets say that RJ & Shane were. I think they would still agree and just not juice like they planned. If they did say NO, I think they would quickly change to yes after it became public. Its funny because even if they never tested positive, I think they would look kind of guilty if they kept saying NO but I still dont think most feel that way about Pac. Most just think its mental but there is still enough there for people to want to see it.

    I think the #1 reason why people question him is more to do with the guys around him. Moving up is impressive and makes you wonder but I still think the biggest thing is him having guys like Ariza, Grahm, Koncz, and those Filipino political goons around him. The fact that Grahm has been in trouble before in the Olympics makes it look su****ous. Thats the biggest thing to me. The moving up doesnt bother me because Ive always felt that he was bigger than people give him credit for

    I think Pacquiao's the only guy big enough that he wouldn't just be grateful for the payday.

    His objections are understandable, but he needs to just go through with it at this point really, **** is escalating fast.

      The thing is - it casts aspersions.

      That pisses people off.

        Manny wants to win. He believes that it will affect his performance if blood is taken from him the day of the fight. All Manny wants is a little consideration. If Floyd can demand what ever they want, why cant Manny?

          He said he's willing to give blood, even the day before the fight and immediately following the fight. What more do you want? He wants guarantee there will be no blood taken the day of the fight, before the fight.

            Mayweather has put Manny in a spot where he has no choice but to clear his good name. He's having his way with him. He should make Pacquiao shave is mustache next.

                You mean do what your opponents wants you to do even if it's not mandated and nobody has ever done it?

                  What is wrong with olympic style random drug testing? Why would a fighter be afraid of doing it? Imagine how the haters would spin it if Floyd was against random drug test.

                    Is this even about the tests themselves? Forget the supposed needle phobias. I honestly think it's more to do with not giving in to mind games. Not being bullied and pushed around by Mayweather. Not allowing him to win the mental battle, which he's used to doing. Not allowing Mayweather to think he's bigger and more important than he really is. Personally, I have nothing against any testing, but I applaud Team Pacquiao for standing their ground and refusing to be walked over. **** Mayweather. **** GBP.
