http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS1xFu-9bVE&feature=player_embedded “I’m always highly cynical when I see a guy who gets faster when he gets older,” he said. “There’s always that cloud of suspicion with a modern athlete who performs well and maybe differently as he gets to an advanced athletic age. That has certainly followed Marquez in recent years, particularly after the (fourth Manny) Pacquiao fight,” Max Kellerman made this remarks when he was interviewed on camera by Radio Raheem Saturday while fans cleared out after the fight. "Marquez, 40, is bigger and stronger, and his punches are at least as precise as they were when I used to watch him perform in his early twenties at the same venue. If you looked closely at his muscular torso Saturday, you could see it was spotted with acne that struck him in middle age. Acne, which could occur naturally, can be a sign of steroid abuse".
Max has never liked Mexican boxers. Sometimes he'll say something to try to hide his feelings toward them, but his dislike still shows.
Is Kellerman blind? 10 years ago at featherweight JMM was like lightning. You can't even compare the speed because he is so much slower these days. Is he getting more used to 140-147 and increasing his speed compared to the last 2-3 years... perhaps
Marquez hired the world's top steroid expert before his fight with Pac, Marquez' steroid expert is also the world's top on cheating the drug tests.........
Agreed, Marquez is'nt even faster than he was just a few years ago. He was definitely faster as a lightweight and much faster in his featherweight days, so Kellerman's observations certainly dont hold water. Has Marquez gotten a little stronger? Of course he has, he's gone up in weight and with age he's gotten a little slower and because of it he compensates somewhat by sitting more on his punches and making the opponent respect that more. None of these observations signal that Marquez is or is'nt using PED's, but I do know that he's being singled out by HBO for bringing their cash cow down to size. I have'nt heard a peep from HBO for the reasons why Bernard Hopkins might still be going strong at 50 years old, 10 years older than Marquez, and in Bernard we're talking about an individual who's gone haywire at the questioning that he undergo more stringent PED tests than boxing commisions administer while Marquez has never been against such testing.
Rare display of candidness from Max. Did he go onto mention that the cloud of suspicions hovers over every-single guy at the elite level given that there's so much at stake? They're all juicing.
now all those idiots who pissed on floyd for wanting additional testing are changing there tune. im a huge marquez fan and even ill say its wierd to see a man 40 years old covered in acne all of a sudden.. VERY SUSPICIOUS. i dont think KTFO6 was suspicious because as a boxer myself i know the difference between getting hit with a good shot and running headfirst into one. his "hulkish" power was not there in the bradley fight or the alvarado fight. but he seems to be not aging lol
