Comments on: Mayweather versus Pacquiao: If the Fight does not Happen, Floyd will have Blood on His Hands http://www.boxingnews24.com/2009/12/mayweather-versus-pacquiao-if-the-fight-does-not-happen-floyd-will-have-blood-on-his-hands/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:44:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: carltonec http://www.boxingnews24.com/2009/12/mayweather-versus-pacquiao-if-the-fight-does-not-happen-floyd-will-have-blood-on-his-hands/#comment-95872 carltonec Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:58:10 +0000 http://www.boxingnews24.com/?p=18610#comment-95872 The thing I don't understand is that most Pacquiao supporters seem to be acting like the fact Manny wants a 30 day window with NO RANDOM BLOOD TESTS does not deserve a raise of the eyebrows. I guess it's easier to say that Mayweather is asking for too much than to answer that question. With all the shortcuts athletes these days use, that kind of behaviour from Manny is alarming. Mayweather never said he wanted blood taken the day of the fight. Not to my knowledge anyway. The random blood tests could happen anytime, "even the day of the fight", but that doesn't mean it will. If Pacquiao is really clean, he could agree to it and put a 2 week cut off date. That would be more respectable and he wouldn't need to be "superstitious". But he won't. And his fans don't even have a lucid response for it. Mayweather is scared and ducking? Uh, I think not. It is obvious Mayweather is not scared. But is it so obvious that Manny is clean? Before you answer that, ponder this: You are NOT there when he trains. You are not privy to any knowledge of what he may or may not do. We can only go by what we see and hear. And what I am hearing is a man who is trying to avoid random blood tests for a 30 day period. Do you know what you could get away with during that time? So, until Pacquiao accepts THAT challenge, I will have that question in my mind. I have no such question about Mayweather. He is willing to do it.

It is used for blood doping in sports. It stimulates red blood cell production, which will boost oxygen carrying capacity. This is very beneficial for an athlete, and very dangerous.

NEVER AGAIN! fight night comes and he has nothing to his punches, he knew it and morales knew it too. Morales even said there was nothing in pacquiao's punches. if you truly believe that pacquiao needs to be tested or he owes it to the public, then you know nothing about boxing, you are a hack and boxing will do fine without you. now gtfo. mayweather’s duckin…first he was duckin the venue now this. he was bluffin and pacquiao called it. mayweather folds.

Get your facts right. So many people hate on PBF that it doesnt matter who he fights, everyone always roots for the other dude. Why would he want to fight at 154? Mayweather walks around at 150. LoL. Any person who still thinks Pac is going to win, or that Mayweather is ducking anyone is simply a hater. You hate his flamboyance. Period. If you've ever laced up gloves you'll know for a fact that Pac is a game of checkers, Floyd is a game of chess. Don't be surprised when he boxes circles around Pac. What'd you forget how fast Floyds hands are with 10z gloves? Mayweather never requested the fight to be at 154, lol. Get your facts right.

He just wants to make sure it is going to be a clean opponent he is facing. It's the biggest fight of their careers. This is a very understandable request. If Pacquiao is truly clean, he will take the random tests and fight Floyd. It is MANNY that seems to be walking away. He absolutely will not submit to random tests. It seems he and his camp want to make sure they know EXACTLY when those tests are happening. Lots of time to plan that way. Floyd's way of doing things all but eliminates the chance of PEO's being used during training. Manny seems to be against this. Why? This is testing that is used for the olmypics. Floyd is not afraid of this kind of testing. Why is Manny hiding from it? There have been 2 different reasons given by the Pacquiao camp so far. The first one was shown to be ridiculous. So, a second reason was invented. I mean I know Phillipinos are SOOOOOOOOO proud of the guy, but that does not mean he can't possibly be dirty. If he is clean, he will submit to this and fight Floyd. If not, don't blame Floyd for Manny's yellow streak when it comes to random testing. Floyd DOES want to fight him. He just wants to make sure it is going to be a clean opponent he is facing.

PACQUIAO. So be it. Let FMJR walk away from the chance to prove that he is the king of the ring. His legacy is over. It is over with chicken feathers wrapped around him. Boxing history should continue with or without him. There’s a lot of boxers wanted to take PACQUIAO down and build their own history. Let us give them the chance to create their own legacy.

Nothing in between, or during that 30 day span. All the debating in the world cannot change the fact that Manny himself said that. This is what is causing the suspicion. There are methods of blood doping that can be used during that time for training purposes, and even for the fight itself. Some stuff burns off in hours, but gives you a fight boost (ever seen Manny tire during a fight?). Random testing at least prevents it from happening during training. The article states that Roach agreed to random testing up until 5 days before the fight. That is bunk. The whole dispute is because Manny DOES NOT want that to happen! First they say he is afraid of needles. When Floyd points out his many tattoos, the story changes. Now, Manny is superstitious, and thinks blood being drawn from him during that 30 days will "mentally weaken" him. With all this said, people STILL think it is Floyd that is scared?! How about that he just wants a fair fight? Maybe Manny is scared to fight the biggest fight of his career without some sort of little helper during training? Keep in mind I am no Floyd fan (or Manny for that matter), but I think Manny is full of crap on this. Walk away from a $40 million fight because he is superstitious? Please. Without PEO's, he may actually tire and slow during this fight. He knows that. If he loses or is found to be dirty, he may not win his seat in Congress in the Phillipines.

What would a professional athlete, better yet the best athlete in his respective sport was publicly accused of using steroids what would he do? If only we had some way of knowing, if only say Barry Bonds who was destroying every record in baseball had been accused. He surely would have sued everyone that said he was using PEDs. Wake up people, urine tests don't show HGH and othe PEDs. You could sue and get laughed out of the courtroom or you could take the tests. I know I would believe someone that said he didn't use any PEDs and refused to take the test , while I don't know if I would believe someone that took the test. yep robert smith you are absolutely right.
