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

[baracuda]

No doubt this is about Mayweather asking for random testing. If you are the one putting your life on the line, you have the right to make sure your opponent isn't cheating. But no, boxers shouldn't be able to make up rules that have to do with the boxing match, like say they asked if they could take away the mandatory 8 count when a fighter goes down. Or allowed to stand right behind the ref after the knock down like in the old days. Some rules shouldn't be changed.

commisions are there to make sure its a fair fight.........let em do their jobs and stop being a ***** about it thinking youre more specail than the rest...

its obvious you dont konw the diference between fair and unfair....

What's unfair about steroid testing?

[Xyei]

how the **** do you know?.....you have a crystal ball miss cleo?.....when did pac ever demand **** outside the standard rules?......

if you think this site is a joke then why the **** are you here?.....thats just ******ed.....

When did I say Pacquiao demanded **** outside of the "standard" list of demands? I said that **** needs to change.

I love how you didn't even respond to the post I made back to you. Instead, you picked this one so you knew what to say.

[rod_serrs]

yes....if they make it mandatory for everyone then no.......commissions should be the one to mandate it not boxers..

I don't understand what your beef is. Mayweather is not trying to change anything. This was just a stipulation he wanted added to the fight. Gloves sizes, ring sizes, location, weight penalties are all things discussed before a fight which can make deals fall apart. This just happened to be something out of the ordinary that made the fight collapse. Pacquiao has demanded 8 oz gloves at WW despite the fact that WW traditionally use 10 oz gloves. Guess he's trying to change the system too. The Olympic style testing was just a stipulation that essentially was a deal breaker in the negotiation process. IMO however, blood testing should be something looked into with some window in boxing however.

Oh i do, that's why i support Olympic style testing to make it harder for the cheaters. *cough* Pacquiao *cough*

see.....no proof yet hes guilty...........ignorance at its best....

The commission is not looking out for the interests of the boxers or the sport. All they care about is themselves.

All they care about is themselves.

The boxers should agree on standards. It's better for the fighters, the fans, and the sport.

Good point.

Their purpose may be to make sure it's a fair fight, but do they really?

Guys cheat all the time.
Guys get hosed by completely horrendous scorecards.

It's known that numerous guys have been exposed cheating after the fact and gotten away with cheating for many fights (where was the commission for those fights?).

State boxing commissions are nothing but a set of bad rules, inconsistently enforced, and filled with nothing but bureauc**** leeching on the taxpayer.

Whats fair about letting a boxer enter a fight juiced, beat the pulp out of a boxer, and AFTER the fight tell the loser, "Oh sorry about the beating you took, but the lose is a NC now. We're square now right?" More strenuous testing needs to be implemented.

How can you prove someone guilty/innocent when they refuse to take the test? Pacquiaos achievements and reactions to the olympic style testing proposal make me believe that he is a cheat.
