    Why is Floyd not on that list? He was obviously roiding with the aid of USADA.

    Those PED's Mayweather uses/d do in fact help with his IQ as there plenty to enhance those areas including the confidence/ability to implement a game plan knowing the help in inside while preparing for a bout & when its game time & how about keeping up your stamina allowing you to dance all night around the ring being his biggest asset, the addition to Injecting your hands in order to punch more & harder while numbing yourself what an advantage to have while announcing fights & starting drug testing only when your done cycling off by then,

    I've heard people like yourself repeating that old 1300 punches line after hearing it from another (how original) BTW i don't remember Pac throwing 1300 punches & going by Compubox which so many are fans of around here it officially had Pacquaio only throwing 1069 punches counting in his fight with Margarito, that grueling fight in itself took the last bit of Pacquiaos prime along with it which in actuality was the real reason for reducing his numbers down & never so drastically as you implied, Pacquiao further changed his style/strategy after his KO loss to Marquez which also gets overlooked,

    The following fights he had with Mosley(727) , Marquez 3(578), Bradley 1(751) occurred when he was still aligned with Arzia so that debunks another BS narrative & if you truly believed it was due to Arizas influence then why was there no outrage when Floyd himself hired both Ariza & Memo for his own fight with Pacquiao after Floyd spent half a decade avoiding & ageing him out in the process.

    On top of that Pacquaio still threw 686 punches in his fight with Thurman & even higher in his last final bout with Ugas where he threw 815 punches so go figure.

    No need to get bent out of shape as I agree it is a stupid conversation to have & usually i never even care to say anything about what's already been discussed times over but i have noticed this particular trend with certain posters placing Pacquiao in these types of threads with no ounce of proof while repeating the same over tired lines & quotes of others especially when he was never even mentioned by the OP in his list & yet conveniently stay mum when it comes to Mayweather & his mountains full of documented proof,

    Manny and Floyd. Manny lost to Floyd but is considered the better fighter by some.

    Funniest part is people still trying to pretend Manny wouldn't do that.

    Why nobody else did though? Surely they are all on roids? I see it as downplaying pacs greatness for what he accomplished.

    The question was who I think benifited the most. Pac has been the greatest benificiary, IMO. No, I don't think that Pac finds success beyond 135 without enhancements, but he is still a HOF fighter up until that point.

    I agree with you about Manny, but he’s not on the OP’s list. Neither is Floyd. It’s a very strange list, in that it includes Sweet Pea and Ali but doesn’t mention Floyd and Pac.

    Agree I'd never heard of Sweet Pea or Iron Mike taking steroids, but it is well known about Evan Fields, and it is obvious by looking at his body transformation. He is probably one who gained the most along with Canelo. They didn't just take peds, they transformed their bodies to rely on peds to win. All Canelo needs to do is be standing at the end of the fight to win.

    Pac clearly took something. Look at him for the second fight with Morales. That was shredded.

    However, he doesn't have to submit to tests just because Floyd, who was a drug cheat, wants to create his own rules.

    highly unlikely that it's Tyson. the guy's physique was at its best in his late teens.

    for the reasons already amply covered, Holy, Pac, and RJJ are all good shouts.

    Canelo suddenly appearing like a mini incredible hulk if he'd been painted green. If ever anyone roided that's the man.
