    As long as you're admitting Manny is on PEDs I have no problem with you calling out Floyd for that.

    Also, why do you keep saying Gayweather? Are you in third grade?

    It's virtually impossible to have a conversation with you. I never said that at all

    Of course he's going to gain more power and keep the same speed. He gained 10 pounds of muscle and the guy is 5'7" and at 144 pounds isn't out of the ordinary.

    This is where you are completely wrong. That's not how it works in boxing. As you move up in weight and get stronger you lose some of your hand speed.

    Do you actually think that Manny's hand speed is just as fast as it was when he was fighting at 130 etc.?

    I mean he's fast, but I wouldn't say he's gotten faster and I definitely would not say that he's just as fast.

    You're joking right? Manny isn't body building. 10 pounds distribute around the whole body. What make you think he put on a lot of weight on his arms? Have you even take a look at any of the images of him? The guy look totally right for his weight class with that height. You would be correct if he gain more then he should but what make you think at 144 will make him slow? The guy fought at a tooth pick weight for his height.

    And with this logic - Vitaly Klitschko is faster than Amir Khan - because big muscles = more speed.

    :rolleyes:

    I'm basing my argument on what I see, it might not be scientific, I watch Manny fight a lot and also watch some videos of his training on youtube. Looking at his hand speed videos when he was fighting at a lighter weight and his training videos now, you can definitely see a difference in speed.

    How can you compare the speed of someone who is 5'10 to someone who's 6'7? If that was the case, Yao would be the fastest center in the world if he just gained enough muscle mass.

    Not taking into account freaks of nature, the taller you are the slower you will be compared to people shorter than you regardless of muscle mass MOST of the time.

    You can`t read? There are proper training technique to gain muscles without losing speed or reflexes and probably gain more speed.

    Don`t know where you get the stupid logic comparing Vitaly Klitschko is faster than Amir Khan. Do you even think before putting two different height class and body function into this?

    Do you know how to read? It never said big muscles = more speed.

    Wow, looks like the loyal Pac Men are out on hurt-watch today. Relax, my pinoy pals.

    I got it from you, genius. Here's the stupidity that you quoted and tried to apply to boxing:

    Did you or did you not write this post?

    Because it's incredibly dumb. First, 100-meter-sprint speed and boxing quickness/hand speed are two entirely different things requiring different skill sets from different muscle groups - you don't have to be a kinesiologist to know this, though you apparently don't.

    Second, I'm just taking your silly analysis to it's logical conclusion....Maurice Greene plus 25lbs is faster?

    OK. Let's go to boxing - What about Cassius Clay circa Liston - or the heavier - Muhammad Ali circa Frazier, who had faster hand speed?

    You can do this with pretty much any boxer on the planet. Larger does not equal faster, like your incredibly dumb post suggests. You should be ashamed of yourself for suggesting this. You just ruined your entire weekend. And your children's. And your children's children.

    There is no proof that Manny actually uses PEDs other that the fact that he hasn't gotten stronger and better. I personally think he is on the decline from his peak.

    Unlike Armstrong, no one in his camp has accused of him of PEDs. The only notable person who has accused him of drugs is the guy who's dodging to fight him.

    Almost every notable rider that helped Armstrong to his wins, has been busted of drugs, and accused him of doing the same. Teammates, team support staff, and people who have trained with him has said that they have seen him with drug or using drugs. He also hangs out with a noted PED pusher. He also dominated a sport where drugs have been prolific for the modern era. He has also failed a drug test, albeit an unofficial one.

    God you are pathetic. I did not write that post but you still can't read and put 1+1 together. It's a loose analysis but still hold true when apply to certain type of physique, person, body type ect....
