He never really looked like he was roiding. Lean body, but not overly muscolar or anything. And not veiny. To say, Floyd constantly looked like he was. He's proportionally more ripped while being leaner and more veiny. His traps are bulging. Regarding the needle issue, aren't chinese people obsessed with agopunture and other needle practices? just sayin'
Why doesn't Manny throw 1000 punches a fight anymore? It seems he doesn't have the same power or punch resistance as well. I think it's because of his religion like Roach says.
[face palm] Yes. I saw the other video. Love this forum. Nobody ever answers your questions or knows how to carry a debate.
No? http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/EXID22973/images/manny_pacquiao_shredded(1).jpg http://cm.eyp.ph/tiny_mce_photos/0002/4565/Pacman_Flex.jpg
He's 36 and it's weird how he's had pretty much multiple primes throughout his career like a UFC fighter. But you're all claiming he never doped. It's funny.
Because he never does lol..... He's only thrown 1,000 punches for a very few amount of fights and definitely nothing recent. The only two are Margarito and Clottey. All other fights are around 600 to mid 700. That's his average. Literally ranging all the way back to Barrera, it's still mid 600- mid 700's. Except in Oscar De La Hoya, where he threw less than 600 in that fight.
Nonito, this post should answer your question about MAYBE why Manny didn't want to draw blood so close to the fight date. We are all not experts nor doctors.
He probably was considering how most fighters are juiced up I still consider that a duck by Mayweather by asking for the additional testing
I treat him like every fighter that's not been tested positive - he most likely used it but he's innocent until proven guilty.
My thoughts pretty much mirror that scenario you posted, except for the absence of Arum and Floyd Sr, who I believed were the real culprits for the fight not happening. Floyd Jr wouldn't have hopped on the testing bandwagon hadn't it been for Floyd Sr who had been repeatedly firing accusations ever since the Hatton fight. Arum was looking for a way out from the get-go. The articles might be buried in history but it was clear as day, Arum kept being a primadonna from walking out because they didn't want to go to Cowboys stadium, to standing firm on the cutoff dates. Manny and Floyd's tempers flared up only as a residual effect of the other two and the circumstances imo
