Not to mention how Manny walked through Margarito and Cotto shots and at times sat on the ropes and let them hit him, but was apprehensive as **** vs JMM and getting knocked across the ring, terrified of JMM power for whatever reason
I will not say that and there is no way you can say that, as a cotto fan you will simply cus Miguel stopped fighting in that fight basically quit, so by accusing a fighter of cheating you have a free pass to quit which is usually a sin in this sport. Pacquiao beat Cotto fair and square
Ye ye I know, I know The Hatton KO is one of my favorites anyway Im just getting at alot of his damage on fighters is due to a super human work rate, which can easily be increased due to steroid use
Pac is just that good in his prime. Against Margo he was already on the decline, or else Margo would've been stopped in the late rounds. deal with it.
Smaller guys mean smaller more compact targets. Bradley in particular is built like a tank. And Marquez fought off his back foot and Pacquiao never landed a real clean power punch with leverage on him. In addition, Cotto, Margo, Hatton...pressured Pacquiao which allowed him to tee off on them. It's a combination of these things really. But I get it, the inquisition never stops for you haters. But when ity comes to other dudes you guys look the other way. What's your thoughts on Floyd having a steroid specialist MD as his "special" friend?
I have NO doubt Manny has been roiding... If you simply look at his LIFE. This is an extreme poverty that makes section 8 lifestyles look rich. The type of poverty that breeds desperation. What normal man would say NO to a little help from PEDS if it meant he can rise above the poverty he knows... and also help and entire village out? Also... Look at his BULL**** excuses for not taking the test... Look at his sneaky eyes... No even more compelling: Look at how the kid just turned into Duran overnight and started out-banging 170lb fighters when he couldn't do that **** to 125lb fighters. PEDS NO doubt.
It first became obvious to me while I was watching the Cotto fight. How do you go from knocking around guys like Mosley, Cotto and Margarito to not being able to hurt Bradley at all? He lost his power and stamina in a span of one or two fights. It's hard to look at this and not think he was on something illegal.
He caught Barrera when he was clearly past his best. Barrera's peak was the 1st Morales fight. After that he looked slow and lethargic in the Morales rematch, sluggish against, Kelly, and timid against Tapia. Naseem Hamed was his last great performance, every fighter has one win or lose. When he upsetted Barrera, they started orchestrating his career because he performed so well and saw a new market, and imo started pumping this ignorant peasant with PEDs. Before Barrera he was an average titlist with a pleasant but sloppy style. In fact, if you can still find old Pac articles, he was regarded as a fighter on his way down pre Barrera.
I swear when I watched the Barrera fight with my older brother who was a die hard Barrera fan, and while I was :happy, he said there is no way Manny is not on steroids, he said just wait and see. I thought it was just sour gripes, who knew this roid shadow would actually plague Manny 10 years down the line. Manny brought this upon himself though, when people refuse drug test, I could bet my house that there dirty, it shouldn't' be no issue for a clean person. Shame I have to question my second favorite fighter, it is what it is though.
