    Is this of any significance for Manny's legacy

    In spite of the fact that the testing is far behind the drugs being used, do you think anything will be said about the fact that Manny never got involved in the different testing methods that were being used by other boxers? (USADA, VADA).

    Even if it was just posturing I think he could have really struck a blow to Floyd's testing demands if for any other fight he had testing done. In your opinion why do you think they never went this route?

    Before you write a post, do yourself a favor and check the facts. Pac already agreed to full WADA/USADA testing for the Mayweather fight. And as for volunteering on a regular basis, I can name a huge number of Boxers who don't do year-round testing like almost all of them don't so that does not separate Pac from all the others since they don't do it either.

      No. What the majority of people will remember is Floyd never fought Pacquiao, its like when Rid**** Bowe blatantly ducked Lennox Lewis.

        Lets not put all the blame on Floyd for this, Manny had his part in this thing not happening too.

          Guys like Shane mosley and RJJ have basically been forgiven for testing positive or confessing to steroid use and will almost def make the HOF and are very liked fighters. So im sure manny, who like almost every other fighter ever, who simply didnt take extra testing will do just fine and his legacy will be intact. People truly dont care about testing in boxing, thats become very obvious, its just blowing smoke at this point

            So why didn't he ever do random drug testing for any of his fights?

              Not at all... especially considering how he lost to Marquez.

                ask this also to 99.99% of the current boxers now.

                  Go to the thread where 99.99% of the current boxers legacies are discussed for not getting involved in random drug testing then. For now, can you answer why pac, still, has never done random drug testing for any of his bouts?

                    Manny ran away and ducked the biggest money fight in the history of boxing with a 50/50 offer because of a PEDs test , off course its going to haunt him in the history books , Manny is the only fighter in the world that would refuse a blood test for PEDS and walk away from that fight .

                    Especially seeing they agreed to it in the first contract draft , then tried to force Floyd to back out with all these crazy demands and 50/50 demand , but Floyd agreed to everything they wanted , and then to duck the fight they pulled the PEDS testing .

                    IS WHAT IT IS A BLATANT MANNY DUCK .
