Comments Thread For: If Lance Armstrong Can Do It - Why Can’t Manny?

[tepeyollotl]

Yeah right when some boxers get caught of using illegal substance, why didn't this random blood tests enforce. The f@ckin question is "WHY ONLY NOW?". When Golden Boy didn't even want to subject Mosley who I presumed got caught using steroids to blood test as well.

This ****ty fans didn't or the right word is does not want to use their brains to figure out that why is the f@cking mayweather camp ranting on random blood test when the one they're accusing has been clean ever since and this issue was not even present some months before, they're trying to make excuses, that's why.

why not now? everything has to start somewhere.

the tests used in boxing are worthless, as have stated several articles posted here


sometimes it takes a fight of this magnitude to turn things around. why continue using obsolete tests because that is what has traditionally been used? when there are better methods of testing available?


if it helps the well being of the fighters, then why not.

Why Manny won't not can't.

Mr. Stewart.

Pacquiao's stand is not to be dictated by the Mayweather group. First and foremost the Mayweathers were the drug users that's why they are afraid its also being used by Pacman. Robbers are not afraid of cops but other robbers.

Drug testing is more reliable when using hair samples. It can detect not only if you are using P.E.D. but also tells you how long you have been using it. Pacman agreed to a blood test minutes after the fight. You cannot engineer a drug to be out of your system minutes after the fight. Not even an hour. No one knows how long the fight would last. What if PBF got knock down in the 1st round are they (Pacquiao) going to refuse the blood test minutes after the fight because the drug is still on their system?

I believe Mayweather has gone overboard and must answer their accusation in the court of justice. You have to defend your dignity.

Pit General sez,

Its Obvious WHO Stewart is huggin !!

Why should he submit to Mayweathers testing,,,, Manny has been tested !!

This Lance Armstrong thing was born out of WICKED JEALOUSY ,,, Jealous over a mans will and desire to win,,, jealous over hard work,,, I am amazed that he put up with all that crap.

I am glad that Pacmang ain't puttin up with it !!!! Mayweather the trickster just had it put back on him. Instead of Making Millions , he will NOW dish it out and should come on LINE , ON TV and every Media and Plead for Forgiveness to Manny Pacquiao,,, to the Boxing World,,, to Mosley for his wicked spue and just walk away..

he is scared to fight all comers,,,,, Outside of Pac or Mosley nobody cares to see his fights.....

He by his outward actions has proven to me he is inwardly a Coward,,,,I am not talking about him getting in the rang but him stayin in the trenches,,,, two different thangs there. Without his mental edge he desperately needs to help him mentally he is in deep trouble...

Didn't you see his JMM fight,,,, when he realized he would win, that **** eating plastic smile of his came over him. He knew that cheating would give him the victory and he made sure Kellerman wouldn't talk about it....

Mayweather Jr is Boxings BANE !

Pacman is Boxings BOON !!!!

Are there any international travelers posting opinions? If you've never traveled around the world you, Don't know what it does to your body. Time zone, weather, etc. Why do you think fighters spend days and weeks getting used to that country's conditions. Why would you fly back and forth halfway around the world submitting to tests ordered by some organization. It is easy for FM to get into his car, drive to some clinic, give blood, go home and train. Can you just get into a plane, fly halfway around the world, give blood, fly home and resume training and think this won't effect you? C'mon people let's get real. And as far as Lance being tested. HE WAS IN FRANCE BEING TESTED IN FRANCE. Did he travel, let's say to Australia, get tested, then go back to France and race. I DON'T THINK SO. so basically what I'm saying is This article makes no sense. Your arguement has no merit. P.S. I am not a FM or MP fan. I just want to see a good fight.

Who said anything about flying for every test, you really think what you posted???daaaammmn

i cant wait for these lawsuits to go through, i am SICK AND TIRED OF THE MAYWEATHERS AND ****ING GOLDENBOY!!! they are a bunch of ****ing ******* LIARS!!!, i want all you dumbass's in here to understand one thing, its the FANS that are being RIPPED OFF and SCREWED by these RICH AND GREEDY MALCONTENTS!!! mayweather is a piece of ****, if i open my news paper tommorrow and it says the floyd mayweather was in an life threatening accident, ill be happy. i cant wait for this piece of ****!!!!, called a boxer, to be out of the sport for good!!!!, as if Roy Jones all those years in the 90's wasnt enough, claiming he's was the best without taking any risk, now the fans have been sacked by the mayweather and the corpporate media elite that give these *******s airtime, to torment the hopes of the fans. if you find yourself buying in to this bull**** that maywaether Sr. is saying, you are sheeple and a brainwashed television watcher, wheres the evidence? where the ****ing EVIDENCE b4 u ******* journalists start writing this **** like it fact. when HAS ANY FIGHTER HAD TO BE SUBJECTED TO THIS KIND OF TESTING???!!! WHEN??!! NAME 1?!!! HOW MANY DRUG TEST HAS PACMAN FAILED?!!!! NAME 1???!!!! then what GROUNDS do GOLDEN BOY OR THE MAYWEATHERS have???!!! this isnt even CLOSE, im mean even CLOSE!!! to the shane mosely BALCO situation!!!!.... I thinks if you have even half a brain, you shld be able to figure what is going on here.....MAYWEATHER is SCARED, he not sure he's gonna win, he's knows that he's gonna get hit, cause pacman is that good. He's wondering about that fire storm that his little soft ass is gonna have to go through to win this fight, he's not sure he can withstand the punishment his body is gonna have to endure, nuff said.

Blood pressure off the charts, but you have it dead right.

[Xeraser]

Exactly. It's not Mayweather who decides the schedule or even drawing the blood lol. In fact, he'll be subject to the same tests. This definitely puts a cloud over Manny's impressive run!!!

Pac said yesterday he is ok with all the blood test but not on the same day of the fight. That's sound reasonable enough.Pacquiao chides Mayweather: Excuses, excuses

MANILA, Philippines – Seven-time world champion Manny Pacquiao has merely laughed off the drug testing issue being raised by Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s saying that the former pound-for-pound king is just trying to excuse himself from the fight.

“Marami lang siyang dahilan, marami siyang dinedemand. Siguro wala pa ‘yong fight, takot na,” said Pacquiao.

The Filipino champion, who recently won the World Boxing Organization welterweight title from Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto, said Mayweather maybe getting nervous with the idea of trading punches with him.

Thus, American boxer came out with a statement demanding an Olympic-type of dope testing.

“Sa akin walang problema kung gusto niyang lumaban. Fight kaming dalawa... pero kung medyo natakot siya -- palakasin muna niya loob niya,” said Pacquiao.

Pacquiao made it clear he has no qualm in undergoing tests. What he’s opposed against is having him to give blood so near the March 13 fight date.

“Require natin lahat pati blood test... pero ‘wag naman doon sa day of the fight, manghihina ka naman noon,” he said.

The Filipino boxing star added that the Mayweather camp may also be using the issue to just to distract him.

“Gu****wa lang siya ng paraan, strategy niya para ****lit ako... para ma-distract ako sa concentration sa fight,” said the reigning pound-for-pound king.

if pac gives his biggest payday for a simple test, one can assume hes dirty, if i knew i was clean, id let someone stick a niddle in my balls durring the fight for that money...

[TheBoxingVoice]

If Lance can, why can't Pacquiao?

Wow! Are you serious?

Simple, Manny Pacquiao is NOT Lance Armstrong, Kobe Bryant nor Lebron James. He is Manny Pacquiao.

This is the freedom of the U.S. > Free to speak, Free to choose, and free to be who YOU are, but we still have rules. Is it not enough that Manny has to go and train at times in the Philippines because of U.S. taxes & laws, now you want to tell the man since he's a Filipino there in no WAY on GOD's green earth that you can hold 7 titles in 7 weight classes in America? I mean honestly, that's what I am hearing.

Because this weight issue the dumbest claimed I've heard yet.

This lady gained over 140 in 3 years (youtube)

Thats funny i didnt know Lance was a boxer!!! (sarcasm) ... 1234

[ChiTown2Diego]

As i posted elsewhere (since all threads are about the same exact thing these days)...

It is simply about not allowing someone else to dictate how you operate. Manny shouldn't give a crap about Lance being the most tested athlete or whether he (himself) does or doesn't like needles. And he sure as hell shouldn't care about making this fight at any cost simply because "WE" want to see it. He has given people some good fights and if I was him I too would not allow someone else to dictate sht!

He can still prove what he needs to prove without allowing GBP and Floyd to dictate how he's going to play the game. He's the one on a roll of spectacular wins over big names (whether you grant them credit or not) and his team should be the one driving a slight lead in the negotiations.


For the record I respect both fighters and I see Floyd possibly winning by SD.
