Let's be clear there, Floyd couldn't make 144. He tried. A poster here on boxingscene even commented on how Floyd looked drained a day before weigh in and he got clowned for the assessment looking at photos. The next day Floyd nixes the catchweight. Coincidence? People on here really act like he never had an intention of making '44.

Nothing more to really say I guess.Last edited by Syf; 01-09-2010, 08:48 AM.Comment

Dr. Don H. Catlin, the head of the Los Angeles-based non-profit Anti-Doping Research, Inc., said a 24-day cutoff for blood testing is not sufficient to prevent abuse. One of the concerns with such a long blood-testing cutoff prior to the date of competition would be the potential use of Erythropoietin, or EPO.
But Catlin said that wouldn’t be the only concern if there were a 24-day cutoff imposed.
“If you have a 24-day window that’s free, with no testing, you can take whatever you want and you’re not going to get caught, end of story,” Catlin said. “[Urine testing] does matter, yes, but they’re not going to catch everything by urine testing alone. What you would do is to take Mircera [a type of EPO], which is available and which is not easy to detect in urine and away you go. You need a blood test.”Comment

Well it looks like it isn't just Arum who is scared of the cut off, apparantly Manny is too!!..

That's a clear duck imo, the article also has words of wisdom from a doctor who suggests a 24 day cut off is a complete waste of time..Comment

The only way to be sure is random testing which includes up until the night of the fight or daily testing of blood. Even then there will be people saying he is on some new designer stuff that is out in hours.......I knew it was going to happen like this.Comment
