Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Forget Money, Pacquiao Must Be Tested

[WESS]

Did you know in a million of pro boxers out there Floyd is the only one who made his opponents take his invented OST? You may wonder why?

Because steroids have evolved? Science has evolved? ALL sports have become infected with PEDS?

[v.cassiusali@ya]

only the illiterate mayweathers and his legions of illiterate fans believe that a drug-testing is necessary...chicken floyd's mind games...all fights are tested, the fighters are tested, so why demand another testing when it is not necessary? for the record, pacquiao was clean all his, the commission can attest to that...for the idiots and imbeciles out there who believe that pacquiao is on drugs, stick to facts...and the fact is that pacquiao was, and has never been tested positive with any drugs...

another fact is that chicken floyd has been found positive of xylocane...so those who share chicken floyd's demands are nothing but idiots and imbeciles who cannot even understand a simple fact from fiction...

The system has failed. FACT.

Everything else you stated is void just for the fact I destroyed your opening statement about testing and why.

Its not hard simple minded "fan". You just have to think of why steroids exist and why fighters are getting away with out being busted OR are being busted AFTER the fact. Which is unacceptable.

its all down to hardwork. and pac was already special before he moved up. in his featherweight days he was already considered a great. he won his fiorst title at 19. bernard hopkins improved as he got older and so has martinez. Floyd is just making excuses.

Very goOd point, so if Hopkins and Martinez are getting bêtter w/age they to should take the test right *****s?

Did you not hear what Fraud said it's not about the MONEY (and apparently its jot about cleaning up the sport of boxing either); "It's about me saying, this is what I want." You see *****s it's all about what Fraud wants. And cleaning up the sport of boxing isn't it.

You don't respect a man who says this is what I want but you do respect one that says
"talk to my promoter". If this is any two en****** other than floyd and manny guys like you would always side with the guy who speaks his mind rather than have someone speak for him.

If we are going strictly off the tests being given and the results. You do know that Shane Mosley never tested positive for steroids either? So the same can be said of Shane Mosley as well and the commission can attest to the fact that Shane never tested positive. That is a fact. Shane is a ADMITTED steroid user never a POSTIVE TEST steroid user.

So based off of that I don't give a **** about that never testing positive stance that people are taking when it has been proven that the basic commission testing can be beat. I am not saying that the testing PBF is asking can't be beaten either. But I would rather have the best testing possible done instead the worst testing possible.

It's 2009 all over again!!!

The message is the same though. We will never know if the intent of Mayweather's message is to really set an example and "clean" the sport up - making it a level playing field; or, if he is simply playing that card because of some doubt of his own ability to handle a fighter like Pac.

ETHICS
Regardless of Mayweather's intent. The fundamental ethical (and moral) principal in any situation in life (competitive/combative sport) is fairness and respect (Kantian in nature). It is even more critical in this particular sport when the lives directly depend on it. Pac and May can only benefit from this situation aif they tackle the problem together by setting a standard.
Now, It may not be prevalent issue in the Philippines, rightfully so, he is tackling greater issues of poverty and hunger.
But from a global standpoint with Manny's marketing muscle - he should use his political power responsibly to work with other international agencies (U.S and global) to help the sport, create better programs for the youth...etc. Not just get on a stage and sing songs!!! Really? It's truly time for Pacquiao to challenge the allegation and set the wheels in motion to be a responsible athlete. If you are fighting in the U.S, you got to do more than just the minimum (state regulated testing) you got to prove the nay-Sayers wrong.

and who says the system failed? where did you get that?

show proof, man...don't a be fool like xylocane-tested chicken floyd...
