Very Good informative Larry Merchant interview regarding Floyd/Pac.

[pistol whip]

Thanks.

Hey aren't you the guy who went off on me for calling Mosley "flat-footed" a few weeks ago.

Not sure.

Yup LOL!!!!!

[17scenes]

No because it didn't hold up those fights and cathweights are ***ing common place in boxing grow the *** up.


I'm not sure what demands he made on Morales but i'm sure he didn't accuse him of being a cheater before he made the demand.

So asking for more stringent testing in fights have never been done before? Or did you think that all testing changes have been made solely by the commissions requesting it?

How can you be ok with Manny trying to weaken his opponents?

in March of 2008 during the 2nd JMM fight the HBO crew said Pac looked worn down from all of the brawls and wars....3 months later vs Diaz he looks like superman

They make those claims for many fighters.

They said Mosley looked superb against Margarito, then claim he aged overnight against Floyd.

lol i'm not suggesting anything and i'm not ****** to go that far. it's just that somebody of larry merchant's stature wouldn't talk directly in public about drug testing procedures that would make nsac testing look bad. and you also have to consider he's no drug expert.

Cool. It just seems his agenda is to make sure floyd gets the blame for the fight not happening if it doesn't. I wonder why if he is an "objective" journalist.

[brick wall]

What do I need to back up?

That testing is used to ensure a level playing field?

That OST is the most advanced type of testing out there today?

Look, its really simple. The NSAC is not useless, but it is not the best. OST is the best. I believe in a fighter's right to request the best testing for his fights. I do not believe there is any evidence that OST interferes with training or the performance itself.

Ive done my research on the issue. You need to do yours.

And quit talking like HBO need to be careful of what NSAC can do to them. They are just a commission. HBO does not answer to them in any way shape or form. But thanks for trying to make stuff up.

well good for you if you done your research...i'm not gonna do that because it won't give me any benefits aside from maybe bragging rights in nsb forum if you can consider that a benefit. and maybe merchant didn't do his research too that's why he doesn't wanna mention it...what do you think?

What I got out that is larry don't give f#ck who is on what as long as he see the fight. Even tho 1 could possibly be taking PEDs. Better yet get caught and still fight because the opposition is better then the 1 who cheated. He basically mad at the dude who want a clean fight.


Larry : f#ck the test floyd you a b1tch.
Floyd: but larry he on that ****.
Larry: So what. its your fault. If you didn't ask for it nobody would know it.
Floyd: *Looks at Roger* Can you believe that *****.

I'm fine with the tests as long as they arn't used for showmanship purposes like Floyd is using it.

3 pounds isn't weakening anyone come the *** on and even with the catchweight he was still 10-15 pounds lighter than his opponents come fight night (Not counting De la Hoya of course).

16 months isnt over night DB
HELLO!!!

Pistol Whip:

i think 3 lbs makes a hell of a lot of difference in boxing, especially if one guy has to get lower than the weight max ie cotto at 147 would've been better than at 145 a weight he hadn't made in 3 yrs.
