    Wrong! There are no rules that prohibits boxers to fight in a catchweight that both boxers agreed on. The rules do imply and enforced that boxers has to weigh in within the minimum and maximum limits of a particular weight class. Catchweights are prohibited and is not against the rules, especially if both boxers agreed to it.
    Wrong? The rule is that a man can come in at any weight he desires within the limits of that class. Right or wrong?

        You are correct that a boxer can weigh in whatever weight he desires as long as it is within the limits, but there are no rules saying that boxers cannot weigh in in a specific catchweight that both boxers agreed on as long as it is still within the minimum and maximum limits. And why would it be cheating in the first place if both boxers agreed on it. CATCHWEIGHTS ARE NOT AGAINST THE RULES, THEY ARE ALLOWED.

        BTW, i edited the post that you quoted me on.

          Extra tests aren't against the rules either.

            Lady Fan how about you explain the initial thread, how are they all for testing then turn into b@tches about it? Explain that, they realized what they stand to lose if the truth is revealed perhaps?
            There's nothing to explain. You people are the ones who have a lot of explaining to do. Floyd will go down in history as a ducker. Like I said, if you Floyd fans really care about your idol you should turn your wrath on him. Yes him. As long as you people keep caressing him like a baby he will continue to act like one.

            It's obvious that you're not receptive to anything other than things that support your extreme views. Aren't you getting tired my friend?

            Again if I were you people I would say, "Floyd will beat the crap out of Pac even with roids." Perhaps such attitude will reverberate throughout the entire world of boxing, Floyd picks it up and be encouraged to say, "Why I am afraid of this guy? I am a way better boxer than him. I could beat him with roids in his system."

            That's exactly what I would do if I were a Floyd fan. Why? I am way smarter than that. C'mon, roids will make you superhuman? You gotta be kidding. So, insisting on this Olympic style **** just reinforces his fear and weakens his will to fight. Pac fans may not realize that this a positive thing for Pac, but in the back of some people's minds this is a big psychological advantage, ie, Floyd ducking issue, believe it or not. So keep on posting.

              No just question the ones who refuse to be tested, or who prefer to set their own testing schedule.
              Can you tell who are those professional boxers that have been tested by USADA? You are the one who is blindly defending PBF for trying to get of out the fight. The mayweather said that with or without steroid PBF can beat the hell out of Pacman. Do you think Pacman is not worried that the test will be tampered to reflect a positive result? I am not saying that PBF and his team already arrange a way to make sure Pacman is tested positive. Do team mayweather will agree that the test be conducted in the Philippine to make sure the test results would be fair and honestly done? Or why not test PBF blood in the Philippines and Pacman's blood tested in USA? With the kind of behaviour team mayweather were showing lately would certainly cast a doubt of their real intentions. They already succeeded in tarnishing one man's image and achievement even before the negotiation.

                No precedent for Mayweathers extra testing, so why should he bow to it? If someone makes baseless allegations against me, I wouldnt even entertain it, let alone go out of my way to prove the idiot wrong.
                There is a precedent. Arthur Abraham just went through the same tests as part of the Super Six Tournament. He never offered any resistance nor filed any lawsuits, did he?

                  Didn't say they where. I simply said that you can't just change the rules. There are no rules in regards to catchweights as long as it is within the limits of that particular weight division. For drug testing, the rules and regulations are that boxers are required to take the standard drug test, that's it, nothing more. Most Floyd fans are saying that Manny should just take the test that Floyd had demanded, i'm saying Manny doesn't have to. Furthermore, if Floyd did not try to change the rules with the standard drug test and demanded the Olympic drug test, we would have a fight signed by now. In other words, Floyd started this whole fiasco.

                    False. Athletic Commissions set their own penalties, bud. So why does Pacquiao usurp their power and create his own for infractions?

                      Yes, i know that bud. But there are no rules that the boxers or their promoters prohibiting them to set their own penalty. Just like there are no rules prohibiting for boxers to fight a catchweight as long as it is within the limits of that particular weight division.
