    Defending him is stale, Manny himself said that Morales was too big for him when he lost to him at 130 pounds. He then got bigger, faster and stronger and was taking out guys waaayyy bigger than Eric Morales past 147 pounds? Tell you what, for your next post convince me Holyfield wasn't on them either.

    Steroid doesn't make you faster or make you become a better fighter though. And he wasn't taking out guys as his KO ratio decreased as he moved up. Pac ended up improving his style and became a more skilled fighter over time.
    I don't need to convince you of anything, you've already made your mind up. Holyfield and Pac are retired and have already established themselves as boxing's greats so the drug debate is moot at this point. I know you aren't too fond of Pac as well so I'll just leave it at that.

    McGuigan had a respectable record in his time and gave it all every time he stepped into the ring. But Pac ranks among the all time greats. Can't honestly see this going beyond the 10th or 11th round.
