The only evidence that Pacquiao used PEDs was he was able to go completely beserk. Throwing like 1000 power bombs and not get tired. Roach commented on how Pacquiao was able to do that and said it was the training. His training camps before the Barrera and Cotto fights are legendary. I've talked to guys who were at those camps. And they could not believe the intensity of a Pacquiao workout. It was not PED it was the training.
"The only evidence that Pacquiao used PEDs was he was able to go completely beserk. Throwing like 1000 power bombs and not get tired." yes. that is evidence of ped use. getting hit flush by better fighters, more powerful fighters than the ones who knocked him out is further evidence of ped use. declining testing with the excuse of being afraid of needles is further evidence of ped use. turning down forty million dollars is further evidence of ped use. throwing 300 punches and landing less than 50 in the biggest fight of his career ONCE HE SUBMITTED TO TESTING is further evidence of ped use.
Pacquiao was way better at 122-140 than he was at 112 or 147. The reason he looked worse st those weights and got stopped is because he wasn't prime there. Its obvious.
way to bypass all the evidence. he was on steroids. he walked through cotto- a FAR superior fighter - with a broken eardrum since round 2 like nothing. all this as he kept growing past 26 years old? yeah, you know biology.
I was going to say Leonard because he's survived beatings into the 16th round and came back to win. No modern 12 rd fighter has done that. But I see you all know more about Armstrong than me.
He was doing 4,000 situps a day in the Cotto camp. Running 6 miles in 35 minutes in the Cotto camp. And he had a lot of heart. He was well prepared to walk down Cotto. That was the gameplan after the early rounds.
he was never tested for the cotto camp he had been ko'd to the body by lesser fighters before the cotto fight took harder shots than ever before and nothing could prepare him for that in the cotto camp. manny is a cheater. he has been a cheater for years and because of $ no b side ever forced him to take the test. floyd was BY FAR THE A side and FORCED manny to test a clean manny was LAUGHABLY out of his league and it showed that a clean manny would be destroyed by clottey, cotto and other superior fighters who he beat.
He was Knocked Out as a malnourished teenager. What the **** is your problem? Do you understand the concept of being green and improving.
and growing at 27? didnt he get destroyed by marquez? was he malnourished? a marquez who is a few years older than pac btw... nah, man. you KNOW nobody turns down tens of millions because he fears needles. don't you know that? ...don't you? yeah you do. you also know he was on peds for many years. you do.
was marquez prime? was floyd? no they were superior fighters but so were cotto and clottey. a prime shane skins pac and floyd too, btw so does delahoya. and now that you mention it. he was NEVER tested in his prime. you know, that time when his skull was getting thicker and he was more and more powerful-yet quicker.
"earning a light middleweight title over an elite " you are a casual fanatic of ONE fighter. NEVER has a pairing of unintelligent, ravenous, plain ignorant, stupid and delusional fanatics tagged along such an obvious ped cheat in history. congratulations. this little turd undeservedly got the biggest fight in history (as the b side) and when tested, he was all tired, slow, clueless and dominated 118-110...he won two rounds. wow.
see how blatantly ignorant you are? you can't compete with knowledge. so you put a one liner that defines the depth of your wisdom. begone. "you are a casual fanatic of ONE fighter.
