Do you think Mayweather is helping Boxing, asking for these tests?

[Walt Liquor]

Floyd cannot force another fighter to sign anything, only if it's his opponent... The same reason that none of the fighters on his undercard are taking the test, is the same reason Pac didnt take it, because they arent Floyd's opponent. And also, just stating the obvious, Pac is on PED's, hence, the reason he will not take the OST

he can be vocal about it and really promote his revolutionary ideas...isn't he a promoter?

[S.G.]

In a round about way, yes. I'm not naive enough to fall for the whole "I'm doing it for the good of boxing" spiel - he clearly only has eyes on Pacquiao - but in the end it does benefit boxing, regardless of his motivation.

I just hope that now the issue has been highlighted and brought to everyone's attention, something is ultimately done about it instead of everything going back to how it was once the Mayweather and Pacquiao thing is resolved, one way or the other.

Youre a P ussy and a coward you f ucking f aggot that means you support steroids and obviously take them and funny thing about that if i dont give a **** I'll still beat your ass with no OST, tell your boy Pac that too

we got a bad boy over here!!

[Schmerzen]

i think the timing to ask for those tests was not really perfect, other than that, random bloodtesting is good for the sport.

Another good way of looking at it, Respect!

Bump bump bump :d

[mathed]

I think it is good to be sure that your opponent is clean and not cheating.

[Clyde Barrow]

No. It's an obvious smear campaign.

[check hook]

I for one do think that there should be more vigorous testing in the sport,
To be honest I didn't even realize how l lean boxing commission where on this matter until Floyd has brought it up!

I like the idea of not just vigorous blood testing but all round testing and major penalties handed out e.g. Anthonio Margartio should of got a least a two year ban or Even suspended from the sport......
He is lucky he didn't get locked up and got off lightly in my opinion!

While I may not entirely agree with Mayweather’s motives for demanding the USADA protocol in his negotiations with Manny Pacquiao, he and Shane Mosley have both agreed to the same stringent request. In fact, by putting the heat on Pacquiao, Floyd may have inadvertently (or intentionally) just done boxing the biggest favor in recent years.

By instating this vigorous testing protocol for a match-up which will be heavily promoted, publicized, and viewed, he will put his new regime center-stage for the world to judge. And who doesn’t support clean boxing for all parties involved? Boxing is a dangerous sport; people can die inside the ring; boxers often starve themselves of nutrients in order to make weight; and nobody wants a juiced up opponent knocking the life out of his opponent.

If things go the way I think they are going to go (there are already rumors of the Boxing Commissions considering rule changes in their drug-testing protocols as early as this September), then Floyd Mayweather will have single-handedly transformed the landscape of boxing as we know it.

I think none the less whether this fight happens I do think Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Hate him or love him) deserves a lot of credit for exposing this weakness in the sport of boxing, in which we all love so much.

He is helping.......he has facilitated a large debate on this issue and has put it in the forefront of the minds of boxing fans. The NYSAC is already looking at a review of the way they conduct business.....that is a good thing. There are plenty in boxing who support Mayweathers stance. If this came from anyone else other than Mayweather it would have gone a alot further by know. History shows professional sports resist better testing standards for PED's.....the NFL is still today resisting better procedures for the detction of HGH.

Floyd may have little credibility and his motives are questionable at best......but guess what boys and girls.....what he has done is still a great thing.....and a moral one too.

Whether people like it or not, Whether anyone think his intention was a smear campaign (Only a ****** would) this is a way forward for the sport of boxing.
