Don't fence it. Do you reckon Mayweather took PEDs in his career?

    A low punch output indicates a very accurate puncher with brittle hands and a great defense. He might have a low punch output but his whole defense which includes lateral movement, slipping and rolling punches would greatly benefit from EPO. Especially when you expect a fighter to come at you hard with a lot of volume which many thought Pacquiao would. To say if Floyd was using EPO he would be throwing 1000+ punches per fight makes no sense.

    Pac's fans heard so much from Floyd's fans about Pac's alleged PED use that they think it's only right that we get back at Mayweather's fans lmfao...

    that is fine, we agree to disagree...

    i understand the logic you are trying to use, but correlation does not equal causality....

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation


    you are suggesting that there is a correlation between EPO usage and punch output,

    i suggest that how mayweather fights won't show a correlation between the two

    if he uses EPO he can be more concerned with getting out the way as he is health first fighter...

    to suggest that correlation exists, you would first need to know which PED c0cktail he used....when xylocaine was illegal, do you think that he numbed is hands into medicated bricks earlier in his career that he would throw more punches? was his higher knockout ratio in the earlier days a result of xylocaine or bc he was fighting smaller guys? how do you know? all we can infer is that based on the body of evidence was that he was using PEDS, how he benefitted from them is an unknown but to the consensus, a cheater is a cheater irregardless.

    anyways, the poll speaks for itself.

    have a good day.

    Think he's one of the least suspicious of the current era actually.

    Apples and Orange.

    There is no evidence of PED use with Pacquiao. But there are evidences that Floyd is using PED.

    Do more research, you'll be surprised. Often the one that makes the biggest song and dance about their innocence is the guilty one.
