    It's not a crazy thought though is it?

    Do you honestly think that no Boxer in the world is taking any type of performing enhancing drug? I really do believe the majority of them are

    As far as I can tell all these rumours are just that, rumours. Completely unsubstantiated.

    What ever happened to people getting old? He's not superhuman.

    I agree with the getting old thing, obviously the way he fight's doesn't help the length of his career, and that when Roach and Ariza say "he hasn't trained this hard in year's" it's to sell the fight... But looking at the video's you could tell Manny was really pushing it in the gym.

    It all just doesn't add up to me, everything is a rumour until proven and that's just one of my many thought's on the issue.

    Marquez is a completely different fighter to those he's been looking unbelievable against. It happens.

    I know… everyone’s so quick to discredit Manny rather than praising Marquez. Some guys just make you look bad: Floyd and Castillo for example.

    Michael Katsidis appeared to train just as hard for Burns as he did for any of his previous fights yet didn't look as strong as previously. Has he stopped using PED's as well?

    It's complete bonkers. The Mayweathers have the excuse of being biased cracks head, trying to sully a mans reputation, what's yours?

    I hate it when something is said enough times it becomes reality, and people just run it.

    I guess Pacquiao was 'coming off it' the first two times he fought Marquez as well, huh? Jeez...

    Continuing the movie metaphor, team Pacquiao's struggles with Marquez are like the Cuban prelude in Godfather.

    Mosley did the half steps back thing against Pac and Manny struggled, Mosley got that plan from watching the JMM fights. Pac didn't have a bad night he just struggles against guys who effectively counterpunch and maintain distance. I've always said you need to punch with Manny at times to gain his respect.

    Ive been starting to think maybe he just hasnt been motivated enough for the last 2 fights which were supposed to be easy wins for him against past their best opponents, maybe in a return with marquez or a mayweather fight we'll see his fire and aggression come out again

    As far as I'm concerned Manny Pacquiao has been punching above his weight for some time and that is something which is going to take its toll on a person.

    People say his fights from Diaz onwards were either catchweights were his opponents were drained, against come forward tailor-made opponents etc etc but what they fail to say is that he went from fighting guys a lot smaller to taking blows from much bigger guys, and lets face it he is not the most defensively astute fighter!

    He's slowing down a bit imo

    As i said earlier on, i understand the clash of style's was the main factor in the fight but i'm talking about visually looking at him.

    Katsidis looked no different to his usual self when he fought Burn's, Pacquiao does look somewhat different now
