Pac's legacy will always have a shadow hanging over it unless he takes the test

[Fix]

And anyone with a clue will say,

"because no commission, no sanctioning body and no country required any extra tests on top of the ones they already take"

"because in the years 2009 to 2011, none of the three major sports leagues in america required their athletes to submit to testing administered by the World Anti Doping Agency".

I think that's an idealistic and subjective view, especially saying "anyone with a clue" would say that. There would still remain a counter-argument that some people would use. So why not destroy that counter-argument by taking the test? It will only benefit Pac in the long term and remove any perpetually lingering doubts.

yup. i still remember it like it was yesterday. pac agrees to the tests, says the media all over the world. ross greenburg of hbo confirms it and floyd mayweather jr. is reported to have admitted that the drug testing is no longer an issue. so what changed floyd's tune? he found out that his fans are still making a big issue of it and floyd went back to being a pu55y once again.

the source? koncz making a fool of himself in front of the 24/7 camera crew. well, he had to come up with something. anything. otherwise, koncz would have exposed himself as a guy who actually don't have any normal relationship with pac because of the language barrier. he came up with a guess: 7 days cut off. *****s were feasting as if 7 days was a horrible figure not worth considering to a guy they call amateurish, one dimensional, fought easy fights.

as for the title of this thread, nahh. ball has been on floyd's court a long time ago now. people ain't that ******.

But why not OSDT? You see, I actually like the idea of having it in all title fights. I think even though the way it's been introduced with the Pacquiao issue is unfair, overall I think it benefits the sport of boxing as a whole. The system needs to be revamped.

Now again, i have to say it's not fair that Pac's being accused of it but if he agrees to it then in the long run i truly believe it will help remove any future doubts from his legacy. The whole issue has become so ingrained on the public psyche. Why not destroy that contention with OSDT for just that one fight?

Have you listened at all, that their is no doubts with his legacy? Pac knows onces hes taken OSDT, when hes retired OSDT will not be compulsory, but Floyd just made an example of Pac.

Where in the rule book does it say if you are succesful OSDT is required by anyone who excels in the sport? Pacs read the small print and it doesnt say only the most succesful boxers need OSDT!

Pacs within his rights to refuse the tests, just like its within Floyds rights to duck fights, or not fight at all.

Why does he have to take these tests again?

Because Floyd said so?

What commission, sanctioning body or country does he run again?

The only people that have lingering doubts,

are those on Floyds sack. Everyone else says,

"just take the fight Floyd".

Agreed!!!!

Maybe if Pac said NO or I need a cut off date if the Commission enforced the new test, but if Floyd demands it then its safe to say everyone who believes Floyd has been bamboozled..

So Theadstarter, Its safe to say that all fighters who have NEVER condoned themselves under the Olympic Style drug testing protocol should also have an ? next to their name.. Wow, thats just about 99% of every ATG fighters in the past...

I agree. The thing is regardless of opinions... It has been discussed wayyyyy too much to disregard... He has to take the test. It is awkward that someone who has 8 divisional titles still gets criticism as if he has something to prove... Its because people know he hasn't done a damn thing unless he fights Mayweather... The fight with Mayweather will enhance his accomplishments if he is successful or it will hurt his legacy if he lost because then no one will be able to argue Floyd's greatness over him

Shoot yourself with this post.. Floyds greatness over Pac.. haha... Sounds like a totally bias post to me.. Floyd has NO GREATNESS OVER PAC AT ALL..

Problem is we can pretend like there aren't thousands of athletes out there that cheat their respective sports... But truth is we all know that it happens all the time... Question is.... WOULD YOU be surprised if he was on PEDs? I wouldn't... Just look at all the top athletes that have been caught... While I believe in "innocent until proven guilty" I am also not naive to the extent that people will go to be "great"
