    Couldn't he drank a glass of water to rehydrate the quarter pound he lost like any normal human? Is there a reasonable explanation?

    Everyone knows why. Dude is boxing's Lance Armstrong. There's nothing to discuss. The only thing to discuss is why the US judicial system turned a blind eye to it and degraded its reputation to a cold war Soviet level. They needed to lock him up, instead they let him walk away with a crime. Such a shame.

    From my understanding, the IV also contained vitamins. I don't know why he would need such a large IV but I have never trained like he does so I can't say it wasn't needed. He passed all the tests both before and after the IV so, just like any other fighter that never tested positive, I have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

    So TBE was so dedicated that he trained until the stage where he needed an IV with minerals to recover, is that what you're saying? Wouldn't he know by this age how to plan his training camp to avoid overtraining?

    Because he wanted to ruin 90 million lives and listen to them spam the internet about Manny's failure every day since.

    I don't know why he took the IV and neither do you. We both may have our suspicions but that's all we have. Mayweather beat Pac and retired so the point is moot. I have other things to worry about in my life and I hope that you do too.

    It's obvious why. Same reason he held out long as he could to sign the deal.

    I'm no expert on this subject, nor am I accusing Floyd of anything whatsoever...

    But isn't this IV thing sometimes used to mask substance taking?


    I think I read that somewhere, I have no idea how true it is.

    Because he's a PED cheat, and he knows it. The IV masks drug use. This has been going on at least since Joy boy's fight with Ortiz. At this time Void was right around the age when most fighters begin to decline. He took drugs to stay competitive and put off the inevitable age-related decline, period.

    I'm no expert either but, from what I understand, large amounts of an IV can be used to mask peds. However, Mayweather passed drug tests both before and after the IV. His behavior is suspicious to say the least but I personally need more than that to call him a cheat. I give him the benefit of the doubt just like I give every other fighter that has never been caught doping.

    There are only 2 possible reasons:

    1. He likes to lie about his fight night weight and drains down to 147

    2. He is a PED cheat

    it's simple as that...

    considering we've seen pictures of him weigh in at 150 1 month before fights and boasting about it he either has mental issues whereby he is desperate to cover up his higher than reported fight night weight OR he is just a PED cheat...

    He was absolutly paranoid to death that Pacquaio was a drug cheat...and the things he says like he has no knowledge of what teststerone therapy is? it's just ridiculous... I think he has used PEDS atleast once in his career. Marquez & Pacquiao also.

    Is that like saying that an athlete who didn't show up for a drugs test "wasn't caught"?

    It does not mean that said athlete, nor Mayweather, actually juiced. But it doesn't look good.

    No, I am not saying that. Mayweather showed up for and took the tests, just like Pac did and he passed the same tests. I think all these fighters are using whatever they can get away with and only the ones that can't afford the best technology get caught. To think that Mayweather was doing something that Pac wasn't is naïve in my opinion.

    The most impressive thing about is was He forced Pacquiao be being completely clean while he himself was juiced to the gills.
