Teddy Atlas: “Was Pacquiao was on steroids against Thurman?”

Wait, what? I wasn't saying that athletes don't slow down. Of course one is at their very best at around 30. But after that, the slow down is gradual. Just a tiny bit every year. It's not that after you turn 30 you hit the wall only to crash and burn.

This is why you have these old guys still performing at a high level. And of course boxing is more than just the physical. It's called The Sweet Science for a reason.

And are you honestly saying that Manny is still performing the way he did 10 years ago? He is not nearly as explosive and nowadays throws a lot more jabs. And he is looking to counter punch more as well. All in order to save energy. Manny used to go balls to the wall for 12 rounds easy. Against Thurman he clearly faded after the 6th. Or is that not the case?

A bunch of old ****s competing at the highest levels past their best. Or were they all on PED´s?

How many times a year do we see old journeymen beat young prospects?

 

Have you ever been to a boxing gym? You will find at least one old geezer who can go 12 rounds on the bag.

 

Yeah you're right, Mayweather was on some serious dope when he beat Manny. IV given you a like for that.....

 

According to USADA they were there when the parametics were called. I think SB nation reported otherwise. I am trying to imagine floyd answering his door still hooked to an iv. Oh no you caught me. I mean ya reporters are so reliable.

 

How many of them avoided random testing for years?

 

Yeah, I am not gonna go digging through each individuals PED's testing history.

But I love the good old: "Nope, they were all on drugs" rhetoric.
Nonito Donaire still does year round testing and some ****ers accuse him of PED's.

 

I'm skeptical of anyone not being tested leading up to a fight.

 

That's fair.
What is not is the idea that something is impossible. If Roy Jones was Roy Jones because of PED's, then sign me up for what he had! Whomever designed his gear should be a billionaire.
Genetics and hard work are key.

 

Look at all the butthurt cucks that cant come to grips with the fact their yellow god is shooting test in his ass. Soeey to tell you, every legit elite athlete is pinning or popping something. **** even I am. Get a clue.

 

They both are. So the **** what.

 

I love how all you internet scientists can tell a man is doping simply by watching him on t.v. I would love to be your manager. With your profound scientific abilities, I can ensure that you are paid well for your time and effort in exposing these cheats.

Now slap your stupid faces a couple of times and listen up. Unless you have 100% proof that PacMan, or any other athlete is doping, you need to sit down and stfu.

 

50/50

But without the proof..
Did Shane Moseley ever come out dirty?

 

Mmmm...you didn’t really mean to include Roger Clemens and Randy Couture in your list of older clean athletes...did you?
