    Like most Larryx threads that go on as long as this I see he's already been owned multiple times on several issues. He's gone from a Floyd groupie running around demanding better testing and accusing those who didn't instantly sign up, to a Jacobs groupie running around demanding people give a pass to anyone who swerves better testing. Kinda like how when Floyd on top he would criticise any exciting Mexican/PR fighter 'boxing is about skills, it's called BOXING not KNOCKOUTS, wtf' whereas now it's 'wow Jacobs KTFO 10 guys in a row, OMFG ejaculation, how anyone gonna deal with that?'

    As for the 'he doesn't have to do testing as he isn't ranked by WBC', well, neither was Brook, but he signed up, got tested, passed. Jacobs is a different case because?



    Based on what? You say he doesn't have to do VADA so who else is going to be doing pre-fight testing on him?
    i am not a Jacobs fan at all

        If he really didn't agree to testing than GGG's team screwed the pooch on that deal.
        However, a truly clean fighter would just sign up anyway . . . .

They are supposed to be improving the sport but instead fighters keep missing weight because they never do any training with all the blood test recovery. That's why Tyson Fury started doing coke when he had to do VADA testing, it was the only way to get his energy back.
          Uhh not sure if srs? When you donate blood they literally tell you not to do any sort of physical activity for a few days. Not even walking an sort of moderate distance. Imagine what a professional fighter has to do.

                So people who used to passionately support extra testing are now against it. I see. I guess it all depends on which fighter you like and dislike. You get salty when it's your fighter, you draw conclusions without evidence if it's not your fighter. I see.

                    Oh I agree that it's on Jacobs to have agreed to and enrolled in testing to demonstrate that he's a clean athlete.

                    But if GGG's team really didn't insist on any testing for Jacobs when GGG is mandated by the WBC to be VADA tested year round, then they done goofed in their duty to GGG.

                    I'm hoping we hear about testing during the press tour at some point.

                      Less than one tablespoon of blood is taken!
