Mayweather's haters say he's a coward and a ducker and is afraid of Pacquiao because he asked Pacquiao to take blood tests. Tyson asked Holyfield to take blood tests because he suspected he was on something and Holyfield took the blood tests. Tyson has never asked this for anyone else.
So was Tyson "afraid" of Holyfield and was trying to "sabotage" the fight, by asking this?
Edit: For those who will come in here spewing fake shit, here's actual quotes from the book The Holyfield Way.
"There was a prior hint of this defeatist attitude a few weeks earlier when Marc Ratner, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, called to tell me that Tyson would not fight Evander, unless he took a steroid test.
This did not bother me at all, because I knew with certainty from many talks with Evander on this topic, that he had never used steroids. Evander told me some people urged him to use steroids, especially when moving up to the heavyweight division.
Evander always refused for one reason: he would never have known whether he could have done it without the steroids. I wasn't worried about the test, and I knew a refusal would be taken as evidence of guilt. On the other hand,
Tyson had no probable cause to request such a test and absolutely no right to require one as a condition for the fight going forward. I discussed this with Evander, who came up with a brilliant solution. He said that he would take the test provided that the results would not be revealed to Tyson, until after the fight"
Holyfield-"I laughed when Tyson was demanding that I take a steroid test. I saw Tyson's look when he saw me with my shirt off at the weigh- in for the last fight. He couldn't believe how big and muscular I had become from how hard I trained. I knew he must have convinced himself that I had won the fight cheating somehow, because he couldn't face the fact that I was just stronger than him. I was happy to take a steroid test, because I have never used steroids in my life, but I didn't want Tyson to have comfort of knowing that I was not using steroids. I wanted Tyson to continue to think that I had an unfair advantage over him so he would give himself an excuse for losing again."
Now stfu with fake ass shit about Holyfield saying no
