Boxing Thread

if you’re gonna test somebody non-randomly then you might as well not test them. it’s really a pretty simple point. you can make up all sorts of excuses about testing being unsanitary w/e, but people get blood taken in their homes everyday (eg for insurance purposes) without incident. you can conjure up excuses all day for why pac might not want to take a drug test, but we all know the main reason why most people don’t want to be drug tested.

So i guess all sports need to be tested Olympic style? We can no longer enjoy a boxing match unless its Olympic drug testing occurred…Why stop there, let all NBA players be Olympic tested for the whole season…Lets put * on ever single boxer cuz they didn’t go through the Olympic Drug Testing…

Its ridiculous, unless the rules say you need Olympic Testing then i dont see why anyone would need to do this…As great PBF is he’s not above the sport of boxing…

then why don’t you care about them fighters fight the best fights? i just don’t get mayweather. what’s the point of him fighting if he ain’t figthing the best fighters. if he’s in for the money, then why the hell he claiming to be the best ever? maybe the best money maker boxer? not even, dela hoya was the best ever money maker boxer.

Im already over this farce of a situation

Bring on Mosley vs Berto and Pavlik vs Williams. There’s over good fights out there. Imma still watch boxing. I still love this sport.

If the fighters feel like it would make them safer in the ring, and leave no doubt as to what they would be facing in terms of fairness. Why not?

You got guys coming out saying that its a good idea for the sport(Malignaggi, Bradley, Cotto, Berto). The only one has said something against the blood testing so far is Roy Jones Jr.

If I was prem I’d rep you. Seriously, I love the sport of boxing. Yes I’m mad that pac and mayweather might not happen but there are always good fights to be had.

Because saying Your the best creates talk, talk creates hype and hype creates bigger mainstream attractions.

Which creates more money.

I mean if You look at it even with His record Flloyd wouldn’t be as big a star as He is if He wasn’t the talker He is. The interviews, controversy and gossip are all part of His Game. His mouth is almost as important as his jab.

I can and did. Seriously though, I’m ready for mosley and berto and a rematch of martinez and williams. That needs to happen

You know, all this BS is generating shitloads of hype. I wouldn’t be surprised if both Top Rank and Golden Boy along with their respected fighters are purposely creating this media explosion to increase sales.

Agreed.

The PBF/Pac has been canceled

Floyd has rejected Arum’s offer

http://ph.news.yahoo.com/star/20091229/tsp-floyd-camp-rejects-arum-final-offer-d685dba.html

This was the same thing i was thinking. Just to sum it all up, IMO, the whole accusation is just ridiculous. Now it just strikes me if Mayweather is actually dodging now. The whole request ordered by the camp does indeed get the person weaker, that’s a fact.

This whole thing Floyd’s camp has been doing is just ridiculous and i hope this does not influence other future Pacquiao opponents to start requesting the same. Come on! The fuck is up with that?

you’re a little late, the last development has everyone realizing that pac gave blood within 2 weeks of the hatton fight (via the 24/7 footage) as part of his “routine” health check, so arum is supposedly gonna try and get him to budge armed with this new info. someone posted links on this or the last page, or you could just head over to espn.

Ya, your lord has been in hibernation now so this news just got to me now. Seriously though, as a fan i want this fight to happen so that every one could STFU already. If this does get canceled then a Pac/JMM 3 is the best substitute.

Even that is old news.

Footage was shown 14 days prior to the fight but it was taken on April 8 which was 24 days before the Hatton fight.

Also, Ana Julaton

:tup: :rofl:

ahh i see, and the plot thickens…as if it’s even possible for it to get any thicker at this point lol

I was reading on another forum that Pac should just go on a rampage and fight ONCE a month.

He’s got plenty to choose from and it’d make 2010 a huge fight year :rofl:

i dont see why not, the last 3 matches pacman wasn’t hurt at all…Anybody see that movie w/ Louis Gossip Jr. Diggstown…Cool movie, pac should do that, challenge 10 fighters within 24hrs…

When i heard that Pacman vs PBF was going to happen on March i was like WOW so soon…I think this all publicity, probably trying to hype it up for November/December bout next year…

Looks like its Pacman & Foreman for March 20th if they cant strike a deal with PBF…This makes more sense for Pacman then the Maygaynini fight…

PBF has the 13th booked, i wonder who is going to fight? He wont fight Williams, said he doesn’t want to fight Mosley…Hopefully Berto wins & maybe we can see that fight but i doubt it…People are saying PBF will fight Hatton’s brother Matt? Never heard of him…

I can see it now, both tune up fights…If Pacman beats Foreman, he will probably announce that people want to see Mayweather vs Pacman, ill take all the blood test he wants…Pacman gets his reputation back, the fight is more hype, more money for Mayweather & boxing gets a mega fight that fans/non fans of boxing wanting to see!

Heh I honestly just got into boxing because I started reading Hajime no Ippo haha. I’m hooked now, but I don’t know where to start really. I’ve just breen reading up and trying to find classic fights
