should a boxer be allowed to be a commisioner too when he fights?

[$partacus]

standard meaning , things made by boxing commisions that boxers have followed......not things made demanded for the first time......

This is BS anyway, drug testing has been demanded before and Olympic drug testing has been done before in boxing.

It's his own life he is risking in the ring.

He knew the danger he was facing when he decided on boxing as a profession. I've had jobs more dangerous than a boxer and I wasnt allowed to make rules.

If I remember correctly, a Welterweight fighter can weigh in any where from 141-147, not 141-145,

so NO.

Wording it like this creates sort of a slippery slope that makes it easy for the TS to be agreeable. The better question should be if fighters should or shouldnt be allowed to set a new precedent for the rules if they feel that safety measures have evolved in order to level the playing field.

you worded yours fancier but mine is straight to the point and easy to understand......but its the same damn question....lol

[big_james10]

yes or no.....i mean should they be allowed to make rules outside of the standard ones?.....

Are you referring to the rule about the "unprecedented" $10 million penalty for Mayweather if he came in overweight against Pacquaio?

The commission also said that it had no problem with Olympic style testing.

no...im reffering to olympic style drug testing.....damn youre slow....

floyd broke the agreement about the weight vs jmm because he could afford the fine.......and dont think 10 mil is affordable at all even to floydie...

If you can't see what he was doing you're a lot slower than him.
