It looks like Mosley hitting those steroids again cause he look weak in the Mayweather bout

There's a reason why neither of them wanted strict blood and urine testing for this fight -- which they should have wanted, given the rumors about both of them.

Yeah, he's an odd one. I think Hopkins killed him. Took everything he had and shat on it. It's been downhill from that fight on. If it was a close fight, maybe he would have stayed on track but he got truly pwned and I don't think he could handle it after being such a huge favourite not only to win, but be the first to brutally knock him out. 90% of experts, fans, writers etc etc really thought it wasn't about whether he won (as it was taken for granted that he would) but how badly he knocked him out.

Suddenly he's being embarrassed and nearly getting knocked out himself losing every round. It took it all out of him. I don't think we'll ever see the same version that was before Hopkins. I think that version would have given Martinez a much harder fight, would have beat Williams etc etc. Now though....it's hard to say what he could do.

You bring that up like it's a sob story. This happens in boxing 5 times a year. Styles make fights. This is why boxing is so fun to watch, the unexpected.

Seems weird, from reading BoxingScene I get the impression that there are negative consequences to steroid testing.

Well, negative consequences for Pac fans, I guess.

Yeah, right, he looks good, but back in reality he looked terrible in his last two fights, is old and is a shell of his former self.

The Congroidsman gets nothing for a possible win tomorrow.

I can feel that. He didn't look good in the last two fights. In reality, who looks good against Floyd and Sergio Mora is not exactly an easy dude to fight (ask Vernon Forrest). So I'm willing to give him a pass for those. I think he can still perform on a world-class level and that he has something special planned for Mr. Congressman. I think if Mosely acquits himself well, then nothing should be taken away from a victory by Pac. I mean, how many message board gangsters would last a round with the "Old Man?"
