I'll agree with all except the last line. Pac was sensational until Mayweather started bringing up drug testing and then Manny's "decline" started.
I was obviously joking. Of coarse Pac's decline can be attributed to being under closer scrutiny for Ped use after Mayweather started bringing attention to it.
Yea I'm just wondering what would cause him to stop, and when. The scrutiny you're talking about is a joke, I mean you think he was gonna get busted when JMM is coming in looking like Hulk under Memo and passing?
Having Heredia on the payroll probably makes a big difference. I suspect that Manny wanted to try to wean himself of the peds in anticipation of making a date with Mayweather.
Who knows, but his downfall didn't happen until the Floyd fight was given up on by everyone, with the ridiculous 40m flat fee offer. Also not sure why he'd not get back on for JMM 4, who was clearly coming in heavily juiced. So you think he beat Clottey, Marg, Mosley and Bradley clean? Mosley didn't act like he thought he was clean, he scared the sh1t out of him. That's pretty good for a former flyweight, Canelo didn't spook him at all.
I didn't say that he was clean. I said that he wanted to see if he could wean himself off. He has gradually declined through all of those fights and looked like **** against Bradley. As far as not roiding up for Marquez, I just put it down as Pac not being a very bright guy. I mean using socks as an excuse for a loss isn't an excuse that a Mensa member would come up with.
Even the educated eye saw Pacquiao winning, myself included. The difference is that the educated eye saw it alot closer than what was being depicted by the HBO broadcast crew that decpicted domination that just was'nt there.
OK just seems like a weird time to keep weaning yourself off, when Floyd had fallen through for good, and your toughest matchup is coming in with Memo calling him Hulk. He didn't look that great vs Bradley, but beat him quite easily on most cards. Ask JMM, that's not that easy either way, much less if you're weaning yourself off.
Well must have been something in the air, cause those ringside cards also show near domination. Check them out, they're sorted so it's easier to see just how wide this was judged ringside. Need that link again?
