    One fighter does it and good for him i love it but to say floyd gas to cause hes the biggest name is ridiculous. The other biggest name refused andwas praised for it and thy wasnt that long ago. I have no issues if he chooses to or if its done this way. Like i said other fighters are following his lead already and for me thats a great start. Maybe the next superstar will do it and i hope boxing implements testing for all but he started the craze. Hell VADA wasnt even around when he brought it up so

      That would require him to actually care about drug testing in any meaningful way that didn't involve himself.

          Floyd never really "started the craze" he talked about it. But what did he ever do? I also agree that PAC should be doing it too.

          But let me get this straight, because PAC didn't Floyd shouldn't have to? Floyd is the highest paid athlete in all of sports and he should be held to a higher standard. I think it would be great if he did year round testing.

              when did he lead the charge on random testing?

                  "I want to clean up the sport".

                    Seeing everythong that us happening in this sport and that fact that boxing testing is so far behind the times, boxing should take the floyd idea of OST type testing and run with it.

                    Floyd has a few fighters on his roster but even if he starts year round how many from other promotion companies and from his own do tou think will follow? Not many i bet but if boxing makes it mandatory then theres no questions

                      And so far others are following suit in requesting testing bit to say he must lead te charge further with year round is the sport responsibility
