    Fact is, Pacquiao moving in weight without losing power, stamina, speed is VERY su****ious on itself. It's unprecedented. We aren't talking about a Paul Williams here who is a very large frame, we are talking about a small fighter fighting bigger men in their weight classes and KOing them like they were amateurs. If i was in Floyd's shoes with so much to lose, I'd ask for random blood tests anyway. Even if Pacquiao is clean and he's a freak of nature, he must accept the tests come with the reputation, it's a minor inconvenient. Like being chased around by paparazzi is an inconvenient for a regular celebrity. To DENY the random tests only increases su****ion and make people now want to be sure why he did it. Neither of the excuses for NOT TAKING the test should be bought by grownups.
    what? you just told us marion jones wasnt being tested in the offseason, and tahts how she wasnt caught roiding. We dont even know if thats true.

    What about floyd? is he tested during the offseason? isnt that the whole point of olympic testing? you just completely dodged that point and started talking mumbling about something else. You brought US terrorism into like its supposed to mean something? was that a joke

    So, to ask again. Will floyd be tested during his offseason?

      His fight night weight is much lower than most Welters (the only other Welter with such a low fight night weight is Floyd). That's why.

      He's the same height and has the same reach as Cotto. He's not a small Welterweight in any sense other than the sense that his fight night weight is very low for a Welterweight.

        yeah, because you were measuring his body fat percentage and muscle mass the entire time.

        please floyd fans, keep talking like you know something.

          Yeah because he gains 10lbs of lean muscle mass overnight.

          What a dumba**.

            and you know what point Marion Jones proves, right?

                As O.S.I.R.I.S. pointed out, there only used to be eight divisions. In addition to that, Pac turned pro when he was only 15 and won his first world title when he had only just turned twenty. It's normal for fighters that young to put on weight. Thirdly, he's had very good nutritionists and is very good at following their instructions. Fourthly, and perhaps most importantly, he spent most of his childhood as a homeless vagrant and didn't have access to a really good diet or good trainers until after he'd won his first world title. And in terms of the weight gap, several former Middleweights have won world Heavyweight titles, which is arguably more impressive than what Pac has achieved.

                  yeah there only used to be eight divisions - meaning the MW champ could weigh 149lbs. Heck, some MW champs weighed 140. Cannot compare yesteryear to today.

                    If he was gaining water weight, how is he on roids now. How much lean muscle did he actually gain from what Victor Conte said is "su****ious"?

                    his jump from 130-145 was 15lbs of lean muscle?

                    you do know the morning of the clottey weigh in he weighed 141. He had to eat 2 meals to get to 145.

                    Does he lose 6lbs of muscle every night? Since you guys measure his body fat percentages, id like to know how much exact "lean muscle" he's gained over a period of 2 years that makes him so su****ous.

                    I would think taking roids and eating 7000 calories a day he would weigh nearly 200lbs, all muscle, and would look closer to a body builder than a lean boxer.

The problem is that he has been subjected, as is the case with all boxers, to the standard urine testing that, in my opinion, is worthless.
