Is There Any Proof That Pacquiao Has Been Taking Anything Illegal?

at the end of the day, i think most floyd fans think pac has got to be on something because he stepped up in weight and beat hatton and cotto easily. but a more logical reason if you actually think about it would be that he is fighting at his walk around weight, hence not having to drain himself to make lesser weights. it is as simple as that.Comment

Perhaps, though I'm unsure of the benefits PED's could provide a non active fighter.Comment

You and one other poster have touched upon something important. Nevermind Pacquiao. The whole of boxing should embrace this new, strict form of testing. Don't view it as pandering to one fighter's demands, view it as protecting the sport and its participants.
The fans are starting to want this, and we have the right to stipulate it as we support the boxers we love. The boxers are, though barely, starting to come around to the idea as well. They deserve it because they putting themselves in harm's way to entertain us and to achieve personal and national glory. The olympics games are often not dangerous at all, but boxing is. Shouldn't boxing have the highest standards...hell, shouldn't boxing be pushing for the highest standards in testing?
Look, catchweights, ring size, and glove type have always been a point for negotiations for decades in boxing. Asking someone to have blood drawn over and over again while training for the biggest fight of his life is a bit overboard in my opinion.
Now if Pac were flat out refusing to take any tests, then he should be barred from boxing period. Fact is, he takes all mandated tests before and after each fight, and was even willing to take OSDT when he could have flat out refused and told Floyd to go *** himself. Lets also not forget that Pac was willing to take any type of blood test IMMEDIATELY after the fight.
In my honest unbiased opinion, Floyd is using this to get into Pac's head and win the psychological battle before they even get into the ring.Comment

Ridiculous argument. The burden of proof always lies with the accuser. Doesn't matter whether it's the court of public opinion or the court of law.Comment
