By Scott Gilfoid: I don’t know about you but I’m completely bored with all this back and forth crying about blood tests for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight. They need just follow the rules that they usually have for Nevada fights and stick with testing urine. Either that, or go with the three blood tests that Pacquiao already agreed with – one in January, and the another 30 days before the bout, and the final one after the fight.

That’s enough. If either fighter is using anything, it will show up during the tests. But all this other garbage about testing continuously is a waste of a time and all it will do is screw up the fight altogether. I don’t know why they’re making a big production about testing Pacquiao so much. Pacquiao doesn’t look like a fighter that is using steroids. He’s small and doesn’t have the classic puffed up face like most steroid users.

I’ve heard that growth hormone users/abusers sometimes have problems where their head gets bigger as well as their hands. But Pacquiao’s head always seemed kind of big for his body, and I don’t think it’s gotten any bigger lately as far as I can tell. As he’s put on weight, Pacquiao’s face has gotten wider like a chipmunk, but it doesn’t look like his actual skull and jaw has gotten any bigger.

I’ve seen pictures of people who’ve gone overboard with using growth hormone and they look weird with this big head on a tiny body. It’s not a problem when they’re working out and using the growth hormone, because they’re muscular at the time. But after they stop using, their muscles naturally shrink, but they’re left with a big bowling ball head. Its bad looking to see people with this condition and its irreversible.

Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum wants to leave it up to the Nevada Athletic Commission to make a ruling as to whether it should be blood or urine that gets checked. That sounds good to me. Let the Commission make the ruling. But they need to quit hammering Pacquiao about this and let the fight go ahead like normal Nevada based fights.

I think they need to focus on just playing within the old rules for the fight and forget about extra testing. If Mayweather isn’t okay with fighting under the normal rules, then he should shop around for another fighter that will be acceptable to his more stringent testing.
