Predicted it 5 years before or not, I don't care, only a clown gets their ass kicked and blames it on a blood sample. I mean if the dude actually believed in voodoo or some ****, then someone shoukd have educated him and set him straight on the issue. I'd rather get my ass kicked and outboxed than be a 30 year old voodoo practitioner.
Floyd will be remembered above manny IMO (and fairly comfortably), but the debate will rage for all eternity, won't it? completely different styles, manny is a pious, humble man while Floyd flaunts his wealth etc...I mean, they couldn't be more unalike. but at the end of the day, Floyd was a maestro at nullifying attacking fighters (for the most part), and turned prime time PPV showcases into a clinic.
Tex knows his stuff alright but on the quiet I bet he still thinks the IVkid is a cheatin wussie but is too much of a gentleman to say so
You didnt mention the fact that everyone who fought the IV Kid also fought the NSAC, USADA & Vegas boxing officials at the same time. Talk about protected, he couldnt lose
What you just said is irrelevant to the argument. You switched from he must have been roiding to "only a clown believes in voodoo ****". I happen to agree that he is a superstitious guy, in the Philippines, ghosts and spirits are scarier than serial killers. A good horror movie is about ghosts rather than serial killers, specially in the provinces, lots of stories. You're talking about a guy who grew up in a village in the middle of a jungle, where its not too far removed to say there is a local tribe priest who heals wounds and ****. And whether that is ridiculous or not and he should have been slapped for it is a completely separate argument from whether his reasoning is consistent or not. My point is, his reasoning is consistent and congruent with his story, therefore, it is more likely that he is just a superstitious fool rather than a roider. And he could very well be a roider, I would concede that he probably is just because most top athletes are, but not for the reasons you cited, for the same reasons I cited.
Pac is a LW, Floyd is a WW who beat a one armed Pac whilst Floyd was caught with PEDs, and barely at that as the only times anyone was hurt in that fight was Floyd, twice. Floyd also blatantly cheated with the bending below the waist and excessive holding. Pac is better.
pbf waited for elite fighters to grow old and fought them past their primes...he was more of a business man than a prize fighter....
