Remember Hopkins against Tarver? You start proper weight training at any age and you'll put on solid muscle, if you're not already regularly lifting weights then those initial gains are massive.
Every photo I have seen of Marquez so far were he has looked huge is when he looks to be mid way through training, or having already trained for a long period. This is natural for almost every human being when they train and their muscles are working hard (especially if he is now adding weights in to his training camp). I am very confident that Marquez won't look too different from his previous weigh ins when he doesn't have the pump of working out.
You realise he should have actually gone to prison for supplying some of the top names in athletics withs PEDS, but manage to avoid it be turning witness against the people he had previously been working with.
Mid way through his training is when Marquez does weight training, he has said as much. Right now, he's tapered almost completely off of pumping iron and is training strictly to increase his speed. He's not going to look as pumped or as chiseled as he looks in the recent pictures. He looked huge midway thought his training for Mayweather and looked a somewhat bloated in the ring. Even for the 3rd Pacquiao fight, though not as bloated as the Mayweather fight, he still had some fat on him. Muscle wise, Marquez has looked more muscular weeks before but not as much on the day of the fight, and its due to a decrease or completely halting pumping iron in the last couple of weeks before a fight.
Yeah, like you would know, Div. Pacquiao himself isn't voicing out about tests because he himself probably doesn't believe JMM is on anything. It's Roach that's accusing. And so it's Roach that asked for tests. Not Pacquiao - who probably doesn't give two shits.
“(Marquez) has gotten bigger and gained weight — it throws up a red flag. If (his body) is natural, I will kiss his ass,” said Roach in a recent interview with USA Today when discussing Marquez’s sudden increase in muscle mass.
If you don't body build regularly or have a set routine you can blow up pretty fast. If you have a good diet and train hard you can see results within 6 weeks. The fact his trainer has him doing new things will be sending his muscles into "shock" which will then make them grow back bigger and stronger. If he retains it, or grows any bigger throughout his training camp, then I'll raise a red flag.
If Roach is saying that he asked for test but Arum did'nt want them. Would'nt Roach run that by Pacquiao before he goes to Arum suggesting the fighters be randomly tested???? If Roach was serious that he asked for testing, then he ran it by Pac first. The thing here though is I dont think Roach asked anyone he wanted the fighters tested, he's just blowing his own horn and laying the groundwork to the list of excuses that will come if Pacquiao loses vs Marquez. One thing is certain, team Pacquiao is'nt confident heading into this Marquez fight, the excuses are rearing its head!
