    I'm just paraphrasing what Roach said last night, I don't care about the contract details and who is right or wrong...My quesiton mainly focused on how Floyd will handle the extra pressure now that Pac/Roach called him out already and beat his opponent. Because as far as Pac is concerned, all pressure is gone on his end.

What Fraud wants is making up his own rules that have never been done before.
      Im sure you've been told countless times the difference, Im not going to explain to you why Its called a Catch weight for a reason.

      What Fraud wants is making up his own rules that have never been done before.

      Really? OST never done before.


      Sauerland to have Olympic-style drug testing


      German promoter Sauerland has extended their TV deal with German network ARD through 2015. As a condition to the extension, Saulerland will need to conduct Olympic style drug testing on its fighters under the supervision of the German National Anti-Doping Authority. In addition, this testing will be performed on opponents of Sauerland fighters. This, in turn, means that the fighters in the Super Six will be subjected to random drug testing, for instance, as both Arthur Abraham and Mikkel Kessler are with Sauerland. Already, the new policy has swept out one Sauerland opponent. Sebastian Sylvester was supposed to face Pablo Navascues a few weeks ago, but Navascues was knocked out of the fight when he flunked a random pre-fight drug test. It's a small step, but it's a positive first step in the right direction.

            Yeah maybe you are right. It's hard to tell what's going on inside Floyds head you never really know when he is being genuine, if ever or when he is putting up an act. Maybe he will become a bit irritated and unfocused.

                    Floyd will bring the testing requirement and Pac will still refuse so submit....no fight

                    No, he won't be able to handle the pressure for 12 rds

                      Floyd is not even thinking about Pac and Roach. Why should he?...he has Mosley in front of him. Floyd is concentrated on making money and the only way to continue to do that in a big way is to continue to win. Floyd will paint a masterpiece on May 1st. He is not refered to as the Picasso of boxing for nothing. Floyd will bring his A game and show the world why Pac is not on his level.
