He might not suffer physically if he (pacquiao) draws blood the day before the fight but in "HIS" head he will, and you looking like your a fighter yourself, know better than most that a fighters state of mind going into a fight is of utmost importance. Also IMO it's Mayweather who is either trying to play head games with Pacquiao, or trying to dodge this fight. Pacquiao AGREED to have blood drawn twenty times over RIGHT AFTER the fight. so HONESTLY, what the hell is the difference if he draws blood a day before/of the fight OR right after the fight??

Mayweather 20 years from now will go down as one of the greatest boxers of all-time. Even if he doesn't fight Pacquiao. The same goes for Pacquiao. Mayweather is STILL pursuing this fight, while Pacquiao keeps threatening to call if off and even sue. Pacquiao is already pursuing other fights. With all that said, how is Mayweather ducking Pacquiao?

I don't understand why nobody is on Mayweather's side on this. We're living in the steroid era where every successful athlete is under suspicion. Even Mayweather himself. It's all over the sports world. Especially being on BJPENN.COM and knowing the whole greasegate incident and how BJ got screwed, I would think people would understand where Mayweather is coming from. This will be the biggest fight in BOTH of the fighters careers, so how can you hold it against Mayweather for just trying to cover every aspect. The whole theory that Pacquiao will get weak from the random blood test is ridiculous. Mayweather is also getting the EXACT same test done, so if anything they'll BOTH get weaker. It's not like Pacquiao is getting more blood test than Mayweather. It's all the same.

I just wanted to add that Pacquiao is taking this so far as to sue Mayweather and Golden Boy Promotions for defamation. He's choosing not to fight Mayweather because of these accusations and his demands on Olympic style drug testing. Yet, he's now trying trying to pursue a fight against Malagnaggi who has ALSO accused Pacquiao of steroid use. Jr. Welterweight Champ Timothy Bradley Jr. has now stepped up to say he's willing to fight Mayweather on his terms, including Olympic style testing.

How can you possibly put Mayweather as one of the greatest of all time? I can put him in the top 30, but one of the greatest of all time? Hatton, Corrales, DLH, Judah, and a smaller Marquez can't possibly put you as one of the greatest of all time. Please tell me who has he beaten to put him as one of the greatest of all time. IF the fight will happen, and somehow Pac possibly wins then you can possibly put him in the top 10, but even with Pac's resume (Cotto, Hatton, DLH, Barerra, Morales, Marquez) is probably only top 20 right now.

Mayweather will go down as one of the greatest TECHNICAL fighters of all time, but if he continues to duck the best WW's, then I can't put him as one of the greatest... not just yet anyway.

Btw, what has Pac done to deserve this special testing, when he has never failed any drug tests... doesn't even look overly massive, and even agreed to take several blood tests (30 days prior and right after the fight) , just not right before the fight. The NSAC has strict rules already, and has passed all their tests. Top rank and Pac's team even said they'll do the rigorous tests that NBA and NFL players have to go through and Mayweather balked on that. Pacquiao is going up against his biggest test in his career and has to prepare both physically and mentally, and just to take a blood test right before could hurt him mentally more than physically.

Btw, the last time I checked Pac is the smaller fighter, So tell me who's making excuses here?
