Yeah and Mayweathers record will be blemished also because the other person is right people will remember he got knocked out.

Heck people make excuses for Mayweathers wins you think they are going to say after he got knocked out. Oh he really won that fight

No people would say he still wouldnt have won had he not been knocked out the judges would have givin it to Manny or he still wouldnt have won anyways

So to avoid all that make sure Manny is clean before the fight

Exactly. What people will remeber is the fight NOT what happen after that and I can understand the Mayweather comp not taking chances. I just wish these guys solve their problem and let us enjoy the best fight may be in decades!

I get what your saying but disagree.In baseball do they remember that McGwire saved baseball and hit 70 HR's? No,but they remember he was accused of steroid use and his hall voting has suffered because of it. He hasn't even been proven guilty and his HR numbers should have got him in on the 1st or 2nd ballot.You can say what you want about a loss but if they found him guilty of steroid or PED use,the victory would be vacated and it would surely develop into a rematch for more $$$. It's a can't lose proposition for either fighter.

How different is this ''Olympic-style drug testing'' from the other drug testings? is it more advanced and can detect drugs more than regular tests?

Olympic style is random they can come and test you anywhere anytime. So that way he cant stop taking something in time for the test

As of now boxing does urine test before and after the fights that hgh is not detectable in and blood samples once a year to get your license.

So basically any Boxer could be taking HGH because it wouldnt show up in the urine test that Boxing performs.

Sorry but I would NOT risk my rep on that if I were Floyd.

Heck people are already blaming him for the fight not happening saying he doesnt want to fight Manny because hes asking for this test. Do you really think those people are going to say ok he lost but its because manny did roids. No they are going to say he would have lost anyway.

They dont give him credit when he wins and you think they will give him credit when he loses. Heck no

Then there goes the entire image Floyd spent years to build up to earn a living.

I hope they do also but with Manny having to take random blood test.

Heck I was counting down days for this fight.

Don't fool yourself.It's ALWAYS about the payday and if he lost and they found out drugs were involved,you know there would be a rematch further down the road and that would mean alot more money.By the way,if they don't give him credit now when he wins,then they'll find an excuse to discredit him if he won this fight too. Manny was sick,or stressed about the drug testing.

There wouldnt be a rematch.

No boxer is going to fight him again without him agreeing to Olympic style testing. At least not one worth his salt of a real match.

Floyd wouldnt agree to another match without olympic style testing. Manny isnt going to agree to that. He wont agree to it now. Then you have Mannys embarrassment for being a fraud dude might not even fight again if he got caught.

Then the trouble he would get in for testing dirty.

So the theory of a rematch to set the record straight wouldnt happen.
