    He was a force of nature in his prime and fought everyone and continued to do so long past his prime and unlike so many of these weight bullies, weight bully multiple weight champs who are merely facing opponents their own size, smaller or slightly bigger when they eventually pluck up the courage to stop draining themselves in order to beat up on leprechauns and jacked themselves with PEDs as they ascended through the weight classes, Manny was routinely giving away huge physical advantages and no matter how much mud some sling at him he never failed a drug test in his life. Happy retirement TBE.

    Doping is ubiquitous with elite sport.

    I will never put any athlete down for doping. if you don't dope, you won't cope.

    Floyd Mayweather is quite clearly the best of his generation.

    True but Manny has undergone both VADA and USADA many times and has never popped dirty once. No reports of failed tests swept under the carpet, no getting caught using illegal IVs or abnormally low T/E ratios etc.

    Performance enhancing drugs are no longer the crude steroids that killed Lyle Alzado and caused health problems to some fighters Holyfield? They are far smoother and when taken in the proper time frame and sequence undetectable.
