    You are right Manny made a case for all the PED talk, up until he refused to take the test I thought he was just naturally gifted, its not like we havent seen gifted athletes before; Lance Armstrong, Usain Bolt, Kobe Bryant, Rafa Nadal, Michael Phelps etc I just put Manny in that bracket.....only thing is ALL of the other athletes submit to random OSDT with the exception of Manny!

    Anybody being rational knows something was definately odd with the whole situation at the end of the day most of us have seen Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran, Leonard etc go up in weight and can clearly see how the extra weight affected their performances so what Manny did was INCREDIBLE, this MUST be obvious to him so its not out of the ordinary for questions to be raised.

    Im not convinced Manny is guilty of anything.....I think it is highly suspecious and his team insult fans when they wont take the test but thats just my opinion......

    I want to talk about his current weight gain.Jr hasn't been to the gym and I don't think he will fight at welter.

    Isn't it wonderful that your doubt will send the Mayweather to the poor house once the court case comes around. Here is a tip for you, Jr asked for Olympic testing without knowing what it entailed.

    Well I doubt that but you are entitled to your opinion!

    I also doubt Mayweather didnt know as most people know what it entails and I believe his team spoke to Conte and other experts in the field about what it entailed so Im pretty sure he was well informed.

    Whether he was informed about what it entailed doesnt matter much as the reaction from Manny spoke volumes in my opinion, as I said it doesnt make him guilty but it certainly does make it difficult for me to defend him when he takes the position he does!

    Im a great fan of tennis and even in that they have OSDT, so if its necessary for two guys who hit a ball with a racket then I think its reasonable for two guys who punch each other in the face for a living!

    But hey thats just me!

    Don't bull**** about variables. Pac stopped cutting weight and generally came in the same ring weight as when he fought at SFW. Floyd has always fought at his weigh-in weight and didn't actually weigh 147 until the Baldomir fight.

    He has lost speed u dumb****. Lose power? Anybody who gets bigger will get stronger.( Have you ever lifted weights before? ) But they're usually not as strong as the guys who are naturally big. Manny isn't/wasn't any stronger then Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, DLH, or Hatton. He's been the smaller guy in all of his recent fights. The difference is he was better then all of those guys.

    GREAT POST!

    i've said this time and time again

    Its not that Pac said no and definitely not what ANY MAYWEATHER said.....its his ACTIONS and MANY REASONS which just dont add up and anyone who is remotely reasonable would agree that its suspicious.

    This is why: Floyd was 18 years old, a professional fighter, weighing 130 lbs in his first fight.

    Pac was at 126 when he was in his late 20s .... uh ... uhm .... ugh you are a man at 20 something, and at 18 was fighting way way way south of 130. Floyd is a bigger guy at adulthood, he even came into some of those early fights at 133 or 134 for the official weigh in. He was a BOY when he fought that low, not a man.

    And every little guy who puts on muscle can gain weight later in life, its not unusual. Pac is 5'6'', its easy to get to 144 lbs being so naturally athletic, people make it sound like he went up to 223 lbs. As you get older its harder to make the low weights, Floyd was a small framed guy who never really expanded much past 147, Pac was always undernourished at those low weights and prone to put on muscle if he ate, but his frame is still small.

    No its not just you......... anyone with a brain and common sense would say that a sport where the participants jar eachothers brain is one where the suggestion of random PED testing should be more than welcomed

    How can you talk about Gayweather's weight when there are bigger issues that cloud or cover that - URGE, Vacation, PEDS.

    Gayweather's resume is not even that impressive to begin questioning his performance. The fact that some people are impressed with his shell-lacking of Arturo gatti and considers that one of his better wins tell you that he did not do ****.

    Better performance does not mean people see it a top victory.


    Gatti was one of his best performances, but it's not one of his best wins.
