    if you look at every boxer in the history of the sport to jump more than 5 weight divisions. Around the 5th division is when you start to see guys level out power wise and even competition wise. Once you start to get into that 5th weight division you either see a paper champ getting beat or a decision (usually both).

    In the case of pacquiao you see him go into a 6th & 7th weight division and win more destructively than he did at his lower divisions. I'm not saying that he definitely used btu there is large case for suspicion.



    He's either the greatest fighter of all time or he used steroids. If he's the greatest of all time, it is what it is. I don't have a problem with that. Now that he's testing it's all good but it would have been nice to see him clear his name when it mattered the most.

    the reason pac was suspected was because he is not American and winning fights up to his eighth division. many jumped on him using peds when he was becoming more popular than mayweather and they accused him out of jealousy. it's really to accept a midget with no superior boxing skills dominating the sport due to his tremendous fighting heart. while a lot of boxers with superior skills still need peds, drink their ****, handicap their opponent, employ dirty tactics, mess their opponent's mind before the fight, and other undue advantages just to win which shows not good character of a great fighter. these are the things that makes me question some fighters claiming atg status.

    I never bought into him being really good as some reason why he MAY be using PEDs.

    It's professional sports, in a sport that has lax testing and plenty of corruptions. Of course he MAY be using PEDs. Same for some fringe contender out there or some minor league baseball player hoping to get the call-up to the majors.

    Anyone who knows science and basic human anatomy would know Pacquiao is not a PED user.

    But why does Pac head (brow area) shaped like that? Looks like an effect of using HGH(Human Growth Hormone)......

    The option I wanted wasn't available, he was a PED user not anymore, why risk getting caught now, the money is already in the bag.
