How gigantic Pacquiao's calves were/are? His power comes from sharp straight punches which launch from his legs. That power has always been there and he has always had it. Moving up in weight the way he has, has been his genetic gift from day 1. He wins because of his head movement, his warrior attitude, his angles of punches and the speed he employs.
Here are a few points I would like to remind you guys of.
1. David Diaz said he could handle his power, not his speed.
2. Cotto said he couldn't see where the punches were coming from.
3. Oscar De La Hoya said he was suprised Pacquiao didn't knock him out, he was waiting for something big and it never came.
4. The punch that took hatton's head off was the same punch tarver landed on Jones' chin... an unseen left hook from down south.

Steroids do not provide you with extra stamina and accuracy. They don't give you better head movement or hand speed. They do not provide better footwork or feints. We have all watched the progression of Manny's career and the circumstances surrounding it, and we all know Manny is the same little beast that he ever was, he's been the "prime" guy in each recent fight.
He did not beat De La Hoya from 2000.
He did not beat the Hatton who beat Kostya tzu.
He did not beat the Cotto who beat Mosley.
He did however beat all of these men, while they were still relevant.
There is nothing unexplainable going on here, we have 2 prime fighters who have made names off of slightly lesser opposition, and now they have to meet to see who is the ultimate boxer for the times.
This is all overblown for nothing. Manny Pacquiao did not come up to WW and demolish anyone uncharacteristically.
No one even mentioned steroids until Floyd Sr threw up a red flag. Stop being sheep in the boxing herd. Think about this **** for a few minutes.

Great post!

You'd think that a guy who does steroids will be knocking out bigger guys left and right. Yet of the last 3 fights Pacquiao had in the higher weights, he only scored a definitive KO on one of them. He couldn't put the other 2 away.
