No, he's was at 140 on fight night versus Morales to 149 on fight night versus Cotto. He's always had stamina and power specially with his left hand. He's improved his right hand, and anyone will tell you the punches that you don't see are the punches that hurt. Strength doesn't always equate to Power in boxing. He came in at 144 for Marquez and 149 for Cotto on fight night, 5lbs really that's suppose to make him really slow. He was dehydrated for the Barrera and Marquez fights putting in 15lbs on fight night. Improving your technique can make you better. He's had a history of sparring with bigger fighters, welters for Morales and middles for DLH. No amount of HGH, EPO, or what ever steroids will help your chin, a well placed shot that disrupt the normal pattern of your neurons will cause a knock out.
Conte pretty much blew the HGH accusations into pieces. "One, I think that increasing hematocrit levels, whether its by traditional blood-doping or the use of EPO, is of greater benefit to a boxer than the use of growth-hormone," he explained."So growth-hormone is more of an anti-catobolic agent that may help to accelerate the healing of the tissue repair process. But growth-hormone is not anabolic as an anabolic steroid. Its an anti-catabolic agent and I believe that you dont get a very big bang for your buck. Im not a huge fan of growth-hormone. I dont think its tremendously beneficial performance enhancing substance. "EPO, though, in terms of boxing, is absolutely huge, both in training and as well as in a fight, especially during the later rounds." From MayoClinic: Studies of healthy adults taking human growth hormone are limited. Although it appears that human growth hormone injections can increase muscle mass and reduce the amount of body fat in healthy older adults, the increase in muscle doesn't translate into increased strength. In fact, researchers have found that strength training is a cheaper, more effective way to increase muscle mass and strength.
PCUK IT manny should fight MARGE. ONE ON ROIDS AND THE OTHER WITH LOADED GLOVES. fight of the DECADE:good
There are some natural ways to increase red cell count- food supplements containing Chlorophyll are very effective and available in tablets and Wheatgrass juice - resting in hypobaric chambers or high altitude training where you can limit the amount of oxygen.. this really helps too.
I have no reason to believe Manny or Floyd have ever taken performance enhancing drugs. Why would I? I've seen no evidence to come to that conclusion.
Hey, that's the Sugar Shane Mosley defense. I feel like a broken record. I think he hasn't but if he did, that excuse won't cut it. You can't bull**** like Mosley and cry foul cuz the trainer juiced your junk. It's your junk, you should know what's going on with it.
Why didn't you speak up before? Were you waiting for Mayweather to give you the go ahead? ****ing sheep.
Did those guys test positive? I guess Pacquiao tested positive and you got the news but none of us did. Quit holding back.
HMM, NEVER saw that, but it would have been VERY interesting to watch!! Just curious, was elite PED cheater Trevor Graham anywhere close during that conference?? After all, he's part of team Pac!!:think
Pac doesnt. Quote Ariza "I am the one in charge, Im the one responsible for what Manny takes. He has no idea what he takes."
