I thought Floyd wanted to clean up boxing-why no VADA for Tank?

[GhostofDempsey]

Floyd made a highly spirited campaign to clean up boxing, yet doesn’t insist on his own fighters being enrolled in VADA. Floyd accused other fighters of PED use because of their KO prowess at multiple weights. How/why does Tank get a pass? Don’t give me any WBC excuses either.

A 130lb fighter with that kind of power does raise some eyebrows but at the same time LSC was the perfect opponent in so many ways. If he does this to big strong kids like Haney, Garcia, and Lopez than I'd be highly su****ious if VADA is avoided.

You know blacks do an awful lot of squalling and bawling. Mayweather squalled himself out of a Pac fight for six years, then figured Pac's style had slowed him down enough to make him beatable.

The hilarious part is that these cowardly actions now show up widely in the appraisal of his legacy. Undefeated avoiders like Calzaghe and Mayweather just cannot understand why it is they are seldom mentioned among the true greats of their divisions. They ducked too many fighters when those fighters were still at their best. No one misses them, and only a few halfwits with syphilis claim they were the greatest.

You can throw Roy Jones into that mix as well, a guy who was once a shoo-in for the greatest fighter ever.

He also struggled to make weight for years. Lost a title on the scales at 130, and couldn’t make weight at 135. I’m curious how he made weight so easily at 130 again without being drained and losing power or stamina.

Yeah, a few months after the initial negotiations fell through due to Floydette's drug testing demands, Pac changed his mind

He claimed he'd accept all of Floyd's testing demands to make the fight, and guess what, Floyd "lost the urge", then it was roadblock after roadblock after that

I lost the urge
Pac has Marquez problems
Pac must leave Arum
Pac must take a flat fee of 40 million
I have to honor my mandatory

it was all bull****, he never wanted to fight Pac until the pinoy was suficiently washed up, and he did

According to Floyd himself, he stalled the fight on purpose to make it more profitable. Was that the real reason, or it was because he was afraid of a Pacquiao anywhere close to his prime? We'll probably never know, but it's a fact his bull**** deprived us of one of the most important fights ever when it mattered. **** Floyd.

Do we know if Tank was extremely de hydrated the night before the fight?
I think Floyd knows a remedy for that.

I can see your su****ion but I definitely give him the benefit of this being a huge PPV fight and training hard. & to be quite honest, I think if Tank didn't KO Santa Cruz there, Tank would've started to gas out. He was already taking breaks between flurries.

Tank did show that some1 needs to be the complete package to beat him but there's a lot of guys at 135 that fit that bill.
