After the 2nd marquez fight people were saying pac was slowing down, that he was not prime anymore. Then starts moving up in weight with what looked to be increases speed and power and unlimited stamina.
I know that. But he was not nearly as active at Flyweight as he was at featherweight and superfeather. And his activity decreased at WW too. When he got to 126 he turned super saiyan. He was like a cyborg because he never ran out of gas, even at his pace.
its amphetimines he was probably on. thats why he refused OLMP style testing because floyd knew they would pick it up. Unfortanutely manny is so beloved that nobody is allowed to ask serious questions about his career with people going crazy around here.
Just because you fight at one weight does not mean it is or always will be your optimal weight. Dudes cut weight for size, strength and power advantages. Sometimes you hold things back by doing such things.
Amphetamines? With the increase in heart rate they'd give you combined with Manny fighting like a tasmanian devil, his heart would have exploded. Too much pressure on his vital organs. Really, some of you lot are beyond stupid.
I first started noticing his activity becoming abnormal soon after he started working with Roach. But it was the Barrera fight when I knew something fishy was up. In the second round Pacquiao threw like 120 punches. Then in the third round he knocks Barrera down. Then strafes him with left hands. Then throws like a billion body punch combo. Then follows him to the ropes lands a 5 punch combo. Then Barrera lands a haymaker, but Pacquiao just completely eats it like it was nothing. Then Pacquiao lands two more power shots a half second later. Emmanuel Stewart was saying Pacquiao will run of gas in the commentary. Barrera's corner says "he shot his load, he's done". Everybody thought Pacquiao was a sitting duck. And then he never stopped. By round 9 I knew it didn't look natural. And then in round 11 Barrera gasses. WTF???? He was 3 times less active and he's the one who runs out of gas??? Pacquiao follows him across the ring and unleashes like a 20 pounch combo for the TKO. Nah, that didn't look normal. And a similar thing happened in the Marquez fight too. No matter how many times Pacquiao missed power shots he never tired out. He still kept coming and kept being the aggressor.
who said he was taking enough to overdose? Not me. cocaine has been used since early days for PE. Get your head out of your ass please.
Manny's work rate ALONE would cause his hr to be VERY HIGH. Add even a tiny amount of speed and it would be SKY HIGH and there'd be NO coming down in-between rounds. Seriously, to keep doing that he'd be dead or at least in a bad way.
