    People are overblowing how good he physically looked. He won that fight with his style, skill, heart and grit, moreso than he did with sheer speed and power.

    He didn't look all that fast or explosive, imo. And he started tiring crazy early.

    I tend to think most fighters are on PEDS... but singling this performance out as if it was simply a physically phenomenal unbelievable performance, eh... I dont see it.

    I have never seen Haney run out of stamina. His talent is undeniable and while he may not reach the heights of a Pac. He is most surely destined for greatness.

    Truly this.

    Pac was so phenomenal and on roids for some that he won by SD. Only by SD, my gawd. He must be roided to the gills! So roided that he was gassed by the 6th and fighting on willpower and grit. Where did all that speed, power, and stamina go if he was roided?

    That's why I chose his comment, in fact. He trains all the time and he never runs out of stamina. That kind of makes him an "expert", doesn't it?

    You have never accomplished as much as Haney as a boxer or in the boxing world, so maybe you need to stay in your lane and stop mentioning his name. Also I don't think you will ever ''have this mans career'' who you have taken a cheap shot at.

    Pac alway fought the same way but this time he was fading fast. Pacman was fighting at WW since 2008 (29 years old). He's slower now and can't keep his punch output up. Hopkins moves up to light heavy after 40 to fight Tarver (another cheat) shows no sign of age and no one bats an eye.
    There is a reason why Jean Pascal called him out.

    For him to maintain that same style across that many weight classes and maintain its effectiveness is too good to be true. Look at all the other boxers who went through the weights, eventually they had to modify their game and show something different to survive.

    of course he was on steroids for the fight, just like many of his past fights for many past years.

    Manny Pacquiao = Steroids/ Peds, A-Meth, and other PEDs.
    Shane Mosley = Steroids, HGH, EPO, Clear Cream, and other PEDs.
    Floyd Mayweather Jr. = PEDs, HGH, TRT, and other PEDs.
    Roy Jones Jr. = Steroids, HGH, and other PEDs.

    "They are all on something."

    And we move on.

    He beat an undefeated consensus top 3 WW who was 10 years younger. It's a big time win.

    Atlas should try steroids. Maybe he'd look like a man and not Gollum.
