Though it would be good for the sport I think Floyd is saying he wants to clean up boxing because he is being sued by Pac. He is making those statements in public to show his intentions were bigger than accusing Pac. Either way Pac should have taken 14 days because it was reasonable and he woundnt have let Floyd win since Floyd wanted it orginally the entire training period.

What Floyd does and what GBP does are two separate things.
Ellerbee said that Floyd would be requesting the Olympic style testing in all his fights for the remainder of his career. So far, he has done that by asking that Mosley submit to the tests.
Schaefer did come out and say that all of the GBP fighters would be doing the random testing, so if they are not holding up to that then they should be called out on it.
Do we know for sure that there is no random testing being conducted?Comment

Schaefer said that it is not up to him to oversee this stuff, that's what the commissions are for. He said that Floyd can do what he wants to do for his fights.Comment

“I think what’s going to happen with boxing is, people are now opening their eyes and realizing that, wow, you have two fighters who want to bash their brains in and if one fighter is on something, it can be devastating,” De La Hoya said. “It should be mandatory that fighters go through these extensive tests to make sure that they’re clean because it’s our life up in that ring and we can’t risk that.”– Oscar De la Hoya
The bottom line is if GBP is really serious about increased drug testing in boxing it has to step up and volunteer ALL OF ITS FIGHTERS for Olympic style testing. There are a lot of GBP fights coming. Some of those coming soon include:

Now only if the blood-testing controversy would go away. The 800-pound elephant is out of the barn, and the issue isn't going away anytime soon. Though Mosley has agreed to Mayweather's demand for random blood testing, the issue didn't come up in the talks for Jones-Hopkins II, even though Jones tested positive for steroids after a fight in 2000 with Richard Hall in Indianapolis and Hopkins is a 45-year-old marvel who seemingly is defying age. If there is su****ion about Pacquiao, why shouldn't there be su****ion about Jones or Hopkins?
"Why would we need all that? We didn't do that the first time," Jones said of the lack of testing. "If he is doing something because he's 45 years old, I'm still going to beat him. He could have been doing it the first time. Who knows? I'm still going to beat him so it doesn't matter to me. That's how much better than him I think I am."
