If you ask me, this whole issue has NOTHING to do with testing
It has to do with Golden Boy Promotions having a VENDETTA against Pacquiao. Oscar de la Hoya still cant get over the fact that he lost Manny to Bob Arum, and Oscar has been bitter ever since
Imagine if both Floyd and Manny fought under the same promoter.
Would Floyd start demanding his own drug tests or start accusing a fighter he knows is clean of roiding up?
HELL NO. We wouldnt be talking about steroids or failed negotiations, or idiotic claims...we would be talking about the actual freakin fight .

I could see Floyd wondering about this either way. I think it was Larry Merchant who said Floyd wonders about any athlete who may be as good or better than him. The Floyd we 1st saw @ 130 is the same one we're seeing @ 147/154 but with less power as he's moved up in weight. He's been the same master boxer/defensive whiz @ any weight.
Whatever Floyd's motivation, he does bring up a good point, when's the last time we saw a fighter start his career @ 112 & move up to 147 & appear to get stronger as he moved up in weight? Maybe Manny is one of those once in a generation fighters but what he's done & the way he's done it is definitely unique.
