go search mayweather says pacquiao is on ancient steroids lol these are the pepole your defending. these guys are a disgrace to the black community. just look at where they are now. uncles in trial floyd is waiting for his and im pretty sure sr. is all cracked up. sometimes too much black pride is too much. everyone remembers the oj trial right? we all know he did it, he even wrote a book about it. but yet blacks still supported the man. listen people are people, take the right side.

@daconverse - that's where youre wrong bro. im not defending them. im defending a principle which should stand taller than any athlete, which is fair practices (anti-doping). I dont think MP is guilty but his inability to concede is pretty telling. you say "these are the people im defending". Did you forget the story of Pacquiao's sister and the gambling ring? Did you forget about his multiple kids out of wedlock? Ur right, people are people. I respect them all & i inspect them all.

no vivek it is an issue especially if your clean. come on man! everyone know that floyd is just trying to start trouble. what all of a sudden the the las vegas drug testing commission is not good enough? come on dude. floyd is a great boxer but you and i know that he is doing this on purpose just another mayweather tactic. look at the history every fight he comes up with some kind of drama. plus pacquiao agreed and floyd still said no.

@daconverse - We'll talk later, i have to run and host fighthype radio boxing talk show. tune in if you can

ironically, the ex drug dealer (mayrunner sr.) wants manny to take a drug test.....hilarious!!!!

if manny is on drugs, guess who he got them from? ahahahaha

@daconverse; Yes it's my opinion but can you answer these questions.

* Do you agree athletes can beat a "Scheduled" blood & urine test?

* Have other athletes passed standard testing protocols while using new designer steroids?

* If a baseball player on PEDs can hit more Home Runs, is it likely a boxer can hit harder & faster on PEDs?

* Would you say boxing is even more dangerous for boxers who are clean when there are boxers using PEDs?

* Does Boxing need better drug testing procedures?

[daconverse]

@dlogan1616 that your opinion. i dont see nothing wrong with that picture at all. like i said floyd this this to fuck with mp its that simple.

[dlogan1616]

@daconverse; It would be too hard to discern whether it was all hard work or other factors for any athlete. I'm sure most of us thought for A-Rod, it was all hard work and dedication. If that's all it truly is, is hard work... you would think MP would be even more anxious to prove to the world & the doubters wrong in light of so many designer steroids being discovered in the last 7yrs. I've been watching boxing for 26yrs and I can tell you something seem wrong with this picture.

[daconverse]

@dlogan1616 im aware of this. why dont you watch mp's old and i mean old fights. his greatness is a product of hard work. training is everything your right! thats all there is to it. hard work. if thats the case if its not in your systen during the fight, why is floyd still wanting a test the of the fight? this means its not necessary. floyd is doing this to fuck with mp thats a fact. he still said no floyd is fucking with mp and all of you and you guys are just going along for the ride.

[dlogan1616]

@daconverse; With today's PEDs... when you train on these substances, you heal faster, meaning you can train longer; little rest is required. You build more strength & endurance faster than nature would allow. By the time you're "Scheduled" for a urine or blood test, (NSAC, e.g.) you can clean your system out beforehand. There's no need to have these substances in your system during the event if for 6 to 8wks you've used them to increase your training 2 - 3 times fold. Training is everything.

[daconverse]

@dlogan1616 im well aware of that. whats wrong with getting tested right after the fight? people talk like mp is already guilty. remember, floyd brought this up not for his safety but to fuck with mp. floyd has a bad history and this is one of his antics.

[dlogan1616]

@daconverse; There are new designer steroids today. I'm not sure if you've heard of a "CYCLE". It's a term used for athletes that are taking PEDS but have the timing down perfectly when to cleanse their body of PEDS before a scheduled test. This is very hard to do if the test is random. Blood screening is more sensitive and can detect more banned substances and is more difficult to beat through "masking" methods. Tommy Morrison was on steroids when he boxed yest he passed all the tests.

@Vivek1251 from an outsiders point of view , you sound like pro mayweather. come on admit it floyd did all of this for drama and to harass mp. its true. as for manny's antics he's stupid for doing those things. im just glad that mp doesnt fall for floyds antics. and they are antics. all of this is bs. this is where it comes down to. let the commission do its job, floyd and manny are on the same level thats the reason why we want them to fight. floyd is duckin and waiting until he sees a weakspot
