    I've always been unsure about it.

    I'd like to think he wasn't and it was a fair playing field but i'm not sure.


    Pacquiao always seemed explosive moving up through the weights so i'm not really sure about it.



    I think this is the first post fight interview where Floyd Mayweather Sr hints at Pacquiao is on peds.

    People think Pac was ever on roids was because he was so damn good and never failed a drug test. The only black mark is he didn't take a test that Floyd wanted. Which then the *****s come running in and say "he was definitely using". It's a lose-lose situation and there is no point in arguing. He was never on roids end of story.

    And before any virgin makes a comparison of how Barry Bonds never failed a test. Well, neither did Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, or Muhammad Ali. So yeah, they must have all been using then. Poor logic.

    He never has. As soon as Manny started making noise and beating all the guys Floyd SHOULD have fought instead of retiring, the Mayweathers all jumped at this drug **** as an excuse for Floyd to avoid him.

    Then you have the Mayweather fans......'sigh' who repeat everything they (The Mayweathers) say almost word for word, time and time again on ****ty forums like these and accusations spread like wildfire.

    Boxers would know more about this than any of us to be honest... It was suspect as Pacquiao didn't want to test for the first Floyd fight in my opinion.

    Pacquiao did that to himself in that regards... I still voted no.. but it was suspect.

    Its obvious.
    He was on the juice.
    Same catagory as A-Rod.
    Pac should be banned for life.
    All titles that he won -- erased.
    His fights over Hatton, Cotto and Margo and some others should be ruled no-contest.
    Liar and cheat.

    Just goes to show how incredibly scared the Mayweathers are of Pac.

    Rumor has it that if they did fight, a sniper with a .50 calibre rifle would try and take Pac out. But they figured it would just bounce off him.

    i have voted no as i believe in innocent until proven guilty which is what everyone should do , however if lance armstrong can go his whole career without detection and win 7 tours along the way you do have to question a lot of things in sport now .

    That's slightly different in that everyone in the top 10 of the peloton from that era was doped. Pretty much all of them had been popped for doping already and Lance was the last of the "old guard" and it wasn't that surprising. It's ironic though, they strip him and give it to whom, Jan Ulrich number 2? He was caught, banned, admitted, and declined to accept the tour win lol. Thus in Lance's doped era, he was still the best of that bunch.

    "I only want victories that I've experienced on the bike. I don't want to win anything at the green table," he said.


    The thing with Pac, is that as he went up in weight he was still a hurricane pf a puncher, but he was not knocking guys out. He obviously was beating ppl with his awkward style and fast hands, not his thunderous power.

    clearly pac was on steroids for the cotto fight....pac was on steroids most of his career...probably years before the barrera fight.

    this iis why he refused to get tested for the floyd fight. he was afraid of getting exposed.
