    Here is a solution to this Steroid issue

    Lets perform random blood tests on all fighters from this point forward (especially high profile fighters). I don't like the issue of Manny being singled out. This should be global.

    Lets root out the weeds and let the chips fall where they may.

    Manny isnt singled out.......Floyd is also taking THAT same test.

      I know Floyd is taking the test also, but Manny was singled out. I think it should be mandatory for all high profile fights. Having accusations like this hurt the sport. So make it mandatory and the sports reputation improves.

      I personally think there are many out there who break the rules when given a chance, so why not make it more even handed?

            The solution is Manny needs to man up and take the test. It's not like Floyd isnt willing to undergo the same test or he didnt agree to Team Pacquiao's demand of paying 10 million for every pound he comes in overweight.

            Manny "Violate the sacred vows i made with my wife during marriage" Pacquiao is obviously hiding something.

              Now you see where I am coming from. See I find these blatant accusations against Manny just wrong, but if it was spread across the board and forced on everyone, then there is no finger pointing.

                As nice as this sounds, it would be suicide for boxing to do this. Can you imagine the repercussions on boxing if some of its biggest stars and money makers were given lifetime bans?

                I agree something needs to be done, but it needs to be sat down and thought about first.

                  Agreed. They need to formulate some kind of official policy first.

                    Even one year bans would be sufficient. Lifetime bans should only be implemented when caught more then once.
