    Also, even Goodman has stated that it is not all that realistic to implement year round random testing in boxing. She herself stated that it's very difficult to do. It's not practical to do in boxing for many reasons, some of which she listed as well. And one last thing, please show me where Goodman referred to USADA's testing in a negative way. As far as I've seen from her, she has never once said anything negative about USADA.
    Yet Goodman doesn't support USADA..ya'll hear USADA and assume they are testing for everything. They operate on a fight based contract that's written by the promoter..so the tests aren't all encompassing...nor do all results go public. In all fairness i'll let you look up the winky wright situation before I even discuss this any further with you..it's pointless.

        That debacle was more Brawl of the year than FOTY. Guerrero has got that competitive spirit which brings out the dirty fighter in him. Robert went from being a technically superior boxer at featherweight who actually displayed his boxing skills on occasion to an all out mauler at welter, I still can't wrap my head around it. I feel like Berto kind of got a raw deal with all the rough house tactics and the piss poor refereeing but he brought it upon himself. He didn't adjust and he fought Robert's fight, tough ****. Robert is tough as nails but still not elite.

          Sorry to butt in. You HAVE made a point, and why can't they just call it "Random Testing", which is just what it is ? It obviously is NOT Olympic Standard Testing, and by calling it OST they are fooling the unknowing public with a batant lie.

                So did you like they way dirty ass Casamayor fought? He was a dirty ass fighter!! Fans like you are the minority in boxing or else Lara and Rigo would bring more fans to their fights and HBO and SHOWTIME would have them on their network on a regular basis..

                  Have you ever heard of Henry Amstrong? He held the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight titles at the same time.

                  Ray Leonard was a welterweight and captured the light heavy title. Floyd started out at 130 and he captured the 154 title. Pac's first fight was at 108. Oscar and B-hop also moved way up in weight. In fact, very few fighters stay in one weight division; most move up

                  Also, the Ghost wasn't a bull, he just fought Berto who is no matador.

                    And another thing IMO Guerrero just beat a man who was juiced up again. Damn berto that's two fights now that you were juiced up and still couldnt get a win. Berto is a straight up loser and a ***** for crying about the fight when interviewed by max. I loved it when Guerrero put Berto in his place for complaining about the fight and ref. Just take your loss and move on loser.

                      Duran hit like a mule as a lightweight and carried his power up. Guerrero couldn't punchhis way out of a wet paper sack as a featherweight, yet now he's dropping welterweights.
