[Datu Puti]

Look at berto facing mosley,wo has been caught taking drugs before,IM SORRY FLKS IF FLOYDIE HASENT GROWN BALLS BY NOW IT JUST AINT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!lets not compare this clown against the all time greats,FLOYD WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE ONE WHO TURNED BOXING INTO A FINANCIAL GAME,AND THE HELL WITH HIS SLOW PACE BORING DEFENSIVE FIGHTS!PERNEL WAS A HELL OF A FIGHTER,WHO WOULD STAY IN FRONT OF U AND WASENT NO DAM DUCK!!!!!!

I agree with you for the most part..but PERNELL WHITAKER didn't stand in front of u, he actually duck alot...really low...watch the fight against DE LA HOYA..PERNELL was duckin so low, it was hard to hit him with a solid punch.

I have always had a level of respect for Lou D. as a trainer/promoter ect..and I do agree with him on this. I am a huge boxing fan and I would love to have the sport cleaned up..the biggest money fight in the history of the sport is a great place to start the change..why not now? why not the biggest names in boxing to do it. this should be a good thing for both fighters to prove the sport can be clean..but you have one fighter whos willing..and the other avoiding it like the plague...a bit sad..thank goodness I waited to book my reservation in Vegas..

I didn't even read this article. This Pacquiao Mayweather bull**** has everything ****ed up. **** this talk of roids and better testing. Lets talk about the fight. Pacquiao Mayweather isn't happening because of nonsense. Berto and Mosley will fight. Its the biggest fight officially scheduled at the moment in boxing and now were gonna worry about Mosley needing a test. Come on. Lets talk will Mosley grow old over night. Lets talk this is a huge step in class for Berto who I expect should bring his A game and we should be in for a good one. Pacquiao and Mayweather shouldn't even be talked about at this point. Two Bamas.

BoxingScene.com sat down with promoter Lou DiBella and grilled him on the issue of random drug testing and whether or not a blood test for performance enhancing drugs is something that boxing needs as a mandatory pre and post fight requirement. DiBella's young charge, WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto, is going up against Shane Mosley in a unification fight on January 30 in Las Vegas. [Click Here To Read More]

All fighters should be FORCED (under law) to take "RANDOM" blood tests at ANY point when under contract. Period. Keep it safe, keep it fair, keep it real!

Boxing has no time for cheaters in today's world. If you decline these tests (as if you decline a breathalyzer when pulled over when driving) you should be arrested, fined, and your licensed revoked for at least one year with further fine and penalties if proven guilty once forced to test by giving blood under the law.

Declining these tests would and should be admitting to GUILT. Again ALL fighters should be forced into taking these tests NOT just Pac who's declining "RANDOM" (look the word up) blood tests.....

Random can be just before the fight ..right...so do you want blood taken out just before the fight.?

If only Mayweather jr just follow the standard rule, then there's a fight

Since GBP made new rules, they must start immediatety with Mosley -Berto

[ShoguNinja]

GBP fighter's should be the first one to take the Olympic-Style Drug Testing procedure to show their integrity and sincerity... but i highly doubt it?!

I agree to the other comments made here. If golden boy promotions wanted to prove their sincerety and keep their integrity of the matter of olympic style drug testing, then they should start with andre berto - shane mosley fight. this can be the precedent of all testing and will not be used as a reason for extra demands in future negotiations. this will apply to floyd jr- matt hatton fight as well.
