Seen it somewhere. Arce is not convinced Pacquiao's 100% natural. He questions his record breaking ability to start at 106 pounds and win titles at welter and junior middleweight. "Pacquiao is getting something, thats for sure. He's coming from the flyweight division and walks around at welterweight. I am convinced Manny is getting something. I remember when he did not want to fight Mayweather because Mayweather doping tests and Manny did not want to have them. I've seen him overwhelm fighters who are much bigger than him." Disclaimer: Not hating on Pacquiao, before the butthurt brigade start up.
:conf To be fair, Jorge's probably taken one too many hard shots to the head in his long career. What he said didn't make much sense.
I saw this and thought "Maybe Arce has something enlightening to say" - but he's come out with the lame flyweight thing. Pacquiao fought at that weight at 19 - 112 lb limit. He fought at 106 at 16. Guess what, Floyd Mayweather fought at 106 pounds at 16 years old and he's comfortable at 154! Guess what? Miguel Cotto fought at 106 pounds when he was 16 and he's comfortable at 154! Arce shows his ignorance. Pacquiao may have taken PEDS, hell, even Mayweather may have taken PEDS but instead of accusing and not backing it up with anything intelligent Arce should just shut up
Jorge Arce is a knowledgeable man and a boxing great. He's also of the lower divisions and so his opinion is CERTAINLY a strong opinion to take on board. I do find it a bit confusing too. We'll see.
You didn't post the rest of the article when he goes on to say that Lennox Lewis may have been black and Williams might have been out cold in the Martinez rematch.
******* logic 101 - Pac moves up in weight 40 lbs and TKO DLH, KO2 Hatton, TKO Cotto - 100% clean Marquez (who has a higher KO percentage than pac) KOs Pac - Steroids :admin:hammertime
