    Wait, what? I wasn't saying that athletes don't slow down. Of course one is at their very best at around 30. But after that, the slow down is gradual. Just a tiny bit every year. It's not that after you turn 30 you hit the wall only to crash and burn.

    This is why you have these old guys still performing at a high level. And of course boxing is more than just the physical. It's called The Sweet Science for a reason.

    And are you honestly saying that Manny is still performing the way he did 10 years ago? He is not nearly as explosive and nowadays throws a lot more jabs. And he is looking to counter punch more as well. All in order to save energy. Manny used to go balls to the wall for 12 rounds easy. Against Thurman he clearly faded after the 6th. Or is that not the case?

    A bunch of old ****s competing at the highest levels past their best. Or were they all on PED´s?


    How many times a year do we see old journeymen beat young prospects?

    :facepalm::lol: Have you ever been to a boxing gym? You will find at least one old geezer who can go 12 rounds on the bag.

    According to USADA they were there when the parametics were called. I think SB nation reported otherwise. I am trying to imagine floyd answering his door still hooked to an iv. Oh no you caught me. I mean ya reporters are so reliable.

    :lol: Yeah, I am not gonna go digging through each individuals PED's testing history.

    But I love the good old: "Nope, they were all on drugs" rhetoric.
    Nonito Donaire still does year round testing and some ****ers accuse him of PED's.

    I'm skeptical of anyone not being tested leading up to a fight.

    That's fair.
    What is not is the idea that something is impossible. If Roy Jones was Roy Jones because of PED's, then sign me up for what he had! Whomever designed his gear should be a billionaire.
    Genetics and hard work are key.

    I love how all you internet scientists can tell a man is doping simply by watching him on t.v. I would love to be your manager. With your profound scientific abilities, I can ensure that you are paid well for your time and effort in exposing these cheats.

    Now slap your stupid faces a couple of times and listen up. Unless you have 100% proof that PacMan, or any other athlete is doping, you need to sit down and stfu.
