      Big difference.


      - When Floyd didn't care for testing, Floyd fans agreed with him.
      - When Manny didn't care for testing, Floyd fans disagreed with him.
      - When Floyd used the "CAINE" drugs on the day of the fight and gained an advantage in which he shouldn't have, Floyd fans agreed with him.
      - When Floyd said 14 day cut-off, Floyd fans agreed with him.
      - When Manny said 14 day cut-off, Floyd fans disagreed with him.
      - When Floyd said, test for the length of the contract, Floyd fans agreed with him.


      BUT Floyd did not agree to true random testing. Only testing for the length of a contract. What about prior to the contract? Is Floyd getting tested now? No!!! I understand, if that's OK for Floyd, that's OK for Floyd's fans.

      So if a fighter signs a contract last minute, he pretty much bypasses any testing.


      Conclusion, whatever Floyd says, Floyd fans agree.


      See the difference?

            The only bigger joke that could happen is him winning fighter of the year for 2010.

            Don't be surprised if it happens. The boxing media is a bigger joke than Pacquaio.

                I totally disagree.

                It isn't bad for sports, it did promote boxing in "Cowboy Stadium", the first boxing match ever staged in that stadium; and it earned in PPV!

                Clottey was among the defensive, durable boxer today! even pacMAN impresses him.

                On the proposed Margarito fight, its been approved by WBC, if it was bad for boxing then how come it was approved by WBC?

                If the proposed fight will be staged in Abu-Dubai, then certainly this is another first in Professional Boxing in the Middle East, further promoting Boxing in a place where the no#1 sport is SOCCER!

                Margarito has already served his 1 year suspension, so I don't see any problem as far as his basic rights is concern.

                    This is a joke, right? Either it is a joke, you are a new boxing fan or you are a complete idiot.

                      The ESPY was voted on by the fans. It was not given by the media. If it was a media award, it would have been given to Manny Pacquaio and Floyd would have finished a distant 10th in the voting.
