I can understand when Mayweather wanted to fight Marquez first because he had a long lay off and to take a fight with the p4p champ may be too much risk. However, many great boxers have taken risks before after long layoffs. Hopkins and Vasquez for instance.
EPO is traceable by Urine Sample Blood drawing is unecessary. HGH is not a performance enhancing drugs. It is scientifically proven based on numerous trials among MMA fighters and boxers that it is not beneficial in combat sport. Pacquaio lose weight to make weight, against big or small opponents, using HGH is known to lose one's speed in the process, Pacquaio's greatest weapon.
The Olympic Blood Test has not detected all steroids use, many athletes have gotten away with it only to test positive after the fight. Almost all of the boxing matches which boxers tested positive for steroids tested positive after the fight. Pacquaio was willing to do blood test immediately after the fight.
Pacquaio agreed to 24 days of blood drawing instead of 30, Al Haymon and Richard Schaefer tried to convince Mayweather, Mayweatehr rejects according to Ronnie Nathanielz of BoxingScene.
Pacquaio abides 100% to any protocols by the Nevada Athletic Commission, who mandates and sanctions all fights in Nevada. Mayweather wanted to create his own commission instituted by him and not Pacquaio and him together agreeing in the principles. The Pacquaio demand of $10 million per pound if Mayweather is overweight is credible because Mayweather has violated the contract stipulations before with Marquez. Pacquaio never tested positive for steroids nor was in any internal or external investigation.
Mayweather to me has always wanted to fight Matthew Hatton or Saul Alvarez, both unranked in Ring Magazine top 100 and holds no recognized belts. Mayweather camp has contacted Hatton and Alvarez way before Mayweather tried to contact and negotiate a fight with Manny. The obvious are the obvious, no hating here, just giving you accurate analysis and facts. I dont like to speculate without using facts.
Any thoughts?
Please feel free to agree or disagree? This is boxing, not the (DMZ) De-militarize Zone.
Thanks :-)
