Pacquiao agreed to reasonable testing being done. He just didn't like Floyd's plan for it.

Floyd wanted him to give blood right before the fight, and Manny thinks that would weaken him, and whether it would or not it's a big psychological factor. He would be more than willing to give blood right before the pre-fight press conference and the day after the fight. Floyd is an unrealistic primadonna and demands everything be exactly his way.

Sounds to me like Manny is worried about testing positiive. Floyd would be tested the same way, so it is not as if the testing is unfair towards Manny. I agree that Floyd's request is strange, but if Manny is clean, then there is no problem.

Look, dude, RINGS just wants to sell magazines. If placing Manny as #1 pound-for-pound is going to make readers happy, then they are going to put him at #1. I've been following MMA and boxing for over a decade now, and the rankings in both sports are ridiculous, and most people realize that. Not you obviously.

I mean, really, how can you say Manny is better with any conviction when he hasn't fought Floyd?
