Why dosent Pac just take a test and end all the speculations?

[djtmal]

The best thing to do with PEDs is try not to guess based on visuals.

i'm not guessing...i'm going by what i see...plus, what is floyd guilty of for weighing 160 against marquez...

I'm quoting Dr. Margaret Goodman when she says, "don't go by what you see."

so i'm supposed to just ignore the fact that manny became a complete fighter over the last couple of years huh...

I cant think of reason why not, Discuss.

You are a CHEATER! Go take extreme blood test to prove that you're not.

Manny will never summit to that. He didn't become #1 p4p just to summit

to Floyd's demands. Manny's Pride is not for sale.

If barry bonds said "test me randomly", and followed through with it, don't you think that would significantly reduce the su****ion and speculation and rumours?

Tell me what the DOWNSIDE would be for Pac to take random blood tests up to a week before the fight. HOW WOULD THAT HURT HIM?

I'm not sure I understand your question. I think Pac SHOULD take random blood tests up to a week before the fight but also understand that he doesn't want Floyd to push him around. I wish they had just both agreed to the 14 day cutoff, but that's just me.

you know i can kinda ride with this, but then i think of how when i first saw pacquaio, he was a one-dimensional slugger more or less with just the straight left hand and no defense...then i saw how he's developed into more of a boxer-puncher who darts in and out, uses both hands, and drastically improved his defense, and i realize that roids can't help you out there....honestly reminds me of a little hagler...floyd is just scared of being ko'd thats all

I have nothing but respect for Manny. I think he's an excellent fighter, but I wish (for the sake of boxing and making the fight happen) that he'd agree to a 14 day window if he really has nothing to hide. Again, I'm not calling him out or anything, but I'm a little su****ious as well. If he's already admitted that he doesn't feel right for 3-4 days after having blood taken, that still gives him 10 days to recuperate. I don't see the problem, but I'm sure it's a pride thing. I wouldn't want anybody dictating to me either...

[Emphasis]

To answer the thread's original question;

Either,

1) Manny has something to hide

or

2) His team never wanted the fight.


It's appalling at the number of lies and contradictions team pac has made throughout the whole ordeal.

Only one flaw to that argument. Those tests are REQUIREMENTS.

Taking a test for a job is not a requirement. There are jobs that test...and jobs that don't. And if you can't make it through security at the airport, you should drive, not fly.

Manny preferred to take a "job" (Clottey fight) that wouldn't test. Even though that job is paying 20% of that the other job was offering.

That seems fishy. Admit it.

[M.I.C.]

Cause he knows its best to fight Clottey and make 10 million than it is to fight Mayweather and lose everything.

My question is based on normal decision analysis:

What is to be lost? What is to be gained? That is how people look at decisions.

Apparently, manny viewed what he stood to lose as being more important than $40 million dollars.
