    ...How come he hasn't scored a NONCONTROVERSIAL knockdown in 108 rounds now, since 2007?

    It is supposed to make you stronger, isn't it?

    Says logic, but when you have irrational hate for someone, you will make up anything to discredit them.
    I went to Iraq in 2006 and didn't see a fire ******* but they had WMD's in accordance to Bush Jr.

    I thought he hit Pac so hard w/ those 2 concussive right hands in the first round that it made Pac go into survival mode for the next eleven rounds?

    Those shots didn't land.

    The only notable shot in the entire first round was a Mayweather jab to the body, and even that wasn't anything exceptional.

    He hit him with a nice check hook, though.

    In pro combat sports juicing has more to do with recovery and being able to drive longer in drills/workouts.

    Roids dont suddenly give anyone heavyhands. James Toney was on roids and wasnt scoring KOs either

    Toney was fighting guys who were naturally 40 or 50 lbs. heavier. Floyd is fighting guys his size.

    All fighters are on steroids, the sooner you accept that the easier things will be.

    Floyd isnt a jr middleweight or welterweight. He's a natural jr lightweight.
    I gotta clarify I'm not accusing Floyd of anything. I'm just dispelling the myth that pro combat sport athletes who juice become KO artists. I've personally seen guys on the stuff still not really hurting anyone but having an increased ability to train harder during camps

    :roll: You're so ignorant that there is no point in debating this. Lance Armstrong used PEDs and I'm pretty sure he wasn't strength training. Do some research.

    Also, being stronger doesn't make someone hit harder. Tim Bradley is ripped as sh*t and can't KO anyone.

    mayweather has no power that's why. Like you said, steroids can make you stornger but that doesn't mean it will make someone hit like a mule if they already punch like an old woman. mayweather's philosophy isn't about inflicting punishment either, it's about running from his opponent.

    It will show incremental increase but not a gigantic leap in power
    For example, JMM already had KO power but his steroids made him even stronger as seen in Pac/JMM4 knocking down Pac for the first time in 36+ rounds and showing other benefits from steroid use

    Floyd's PEDs strengthened him in certain areas but his boxing style is not really favorable to knocking people down.

    Years of PED discussions and still nobody here seems to have the first clue on how they work.
