The first part of the interview went a little something like this...

Rome asked how the drug testing proposals were unreasonable if both Pac and Mayweather were supposed to take the same test. Roach claimed the USADA couldn't guarantee him they wouldn't take blood a day before the fight, which isn't the case considering the 14 day cut off period by the Mayweather camp.

Rome grilled Roach about Pac supposedly being afraid of needles, claiming boxing is a blood sport, and losing such minimal amounts of blood should be no problem for any boxer. Roach explained how Manny is afraid of needles and doesn't look blood.

Rome then said, "None of us like needles, but for $40 million bucks we'd probably let em put one in us.

Roach's response? "I would."

Pretty funny if you ask me.

They were willing to take the test all along in my opinion! they said no at first because they were not ready for Floyd but did not want to admit it.

No thats not true...if there was a cut off date it would have been some other testing company....the USADA only does it one way and thats completely random until the moment of the fight.

I think the Floyd that fought Hatton beats Manny, but I also think that Manny beats the Floyd that fought JMM. Too slow, that extra weight seemed to slow him down, he wasn't really using the straight right hand, which he needs against Pac and was relying too much on the left hook.
