    The Fighter of the Decade. 5 Division Lineal Champion. One of the biggest stars in the history of the sport. A world wide attraction.

    I dont believe his career has suffered. And what scandal? Hes never failed a test or been caught with anything.

    Pacquiao did test positive for P-side Meth
    P being Pangolin skin and brains grounded with banana plaintain herb and mixed with 10 baluts into liquid which he drinks regularly to maintain his armour like skin, and enable him to withstand blows from anti tank guns and margarito grenade fists

    His career has suffered from Floyd and Marquez's steroid scandals.

    Let's not forget that no one was accusing Pacquiao of taking peds until Mayweather started saying it.

    Also don't forget that Mayweather had to pay damages to Pacquiao for defamation because the whole thing was heading for court and Mayweather didn't have any evidence to back up his outrageous claims.

    There is no evidence that Pacquiao ever took peds, it was just Mayweather trying to avoid the fight.

    I don't think you can call accusations of steroid use from a potential opponent a scandal.

    not really. most people dont follow the sport as closely as most and most people simply believe what they want to believe so they dont entertain the questionable things pac and his team have said/done

    Just one point .........
    To accuse any fighter of PED's abuse, or any other infraction. shouldn't you have to produce PROOF!! Nothing at all has been proven against Pacquaio. Its all been groundless accusations started by a fighter that has been proven to have cheated himself
    Sadly boxing has become so corrupt a fighter can have his career & good name tarnished by a blatant lie. Ask Antonio Margarito. While another gets his ass covered by the State Commission after being caught red handed CHEATING !! We all know who that is. I rest my case

    Innocent until proven guilty but pac and his teams track record of excuses to avoid random blood testing certainly raises a few eyebrows no one can deny that. Circumstantial evidence. Tbh i actually dont think his a cheat. His power didnt carry up as much as people want to believe and he changed his style as he moved up and adapted.

    Personally i think his dumb loyalty to arum led to him saying watever it is bob told him to and as a smart promoter bob did not want the megafight to happen hence why most of the excuses come from arum himself and pac just followed suit.

    Marg on the other hand you are in a very very very small minority that think he is innocent

    I don't think either way I don't know so I wont accuse If I had to say I'd go for innocent
    Margarito is different I KNOW he's innocent

    I don't even link Manny to steroids. This will not be an issue for his legacy. Manny's legacy is hurt by the fact he fought Mayweather and lost in his biggest fight. And I don't think it is a legit win for Floyd since he waited years to fight an aging Manny, but still Manny fought him in a big fight when both were still good and he lost. It hurts his legacy. It didn't matter if he lost to JMM or Bradley before, you fight the other top guy and lose it means the most. Hagler losing to Ray was worse than had he lost to Nunn. They would have just said a champion gets old. With Ray it was more devastating.
