Lulz. I didn't mean bet against Manny's salary, I meant you either double yours or don't get one at all.
I'm 99% sure he's not using any illegal performance enhancers.. he worksout and trains harder more than everyone else.. aside from not losing, what else makes you think he's doping?
He definitely trains hard. I'm not suggesting he doesn't. Not losing has nothing to do with it my opinion actually. It's how his body has came up in weight and the fact that he has gotten faster and stonger as he moves from weight class to weight class. Even many of his biggest supporters on most boxing boards have admitted as much. Refusing to take the tests pretty much sealed it for me in terms of opinion. Nobody knows for sure though, but I'm 99% sure he is on something
Pacquiao already admitted that he is using a substance called 'adobo'. Nobody knows for sure but i'm sure. I like your thinking. :grin:
Those are the same qualities I look for when I watch boxing.. Can we just enjoy a fight without all the hoopla happening behind the curtains? I could care less if one of them was a zombie and the other was a blood sucker from outer space.. I just want to see someone get knocked the "F" out!!!!
I'm pretty frustrated that Floyd/Pac doesn't look like it has a lot of hope. I really like the SSM/Floyd fight but it's frustrating to know the biggest fight in boxing history may not happen. Like I mentioned earlier, I wouldn't stop enjoying Manny's fights even if I he tested positive. I just want him to take the fight.
I dont know if Pacquiao is clean or not, i probably wouldnt bet 50-50 either way... I'm definitely not 99% sure of anything but i'd take 99 to 1 hes clean since you're so certain. Pacquiao refusing to take the test is definitely a black mark on his record, thought i think its more of a war of ego with Mayweather than anything else. As you yourself stated, it only takes 1 day to clean the system according to conte, so why else but to stick it to Mayweather would he not agree to a test date 14 days prior to the fight. Pacquiaos rise and success in weight from 126-147 has been a common and flawed indicator/rationale of his guilt of using peds/steriods. Many who cite or argue this claim seem to fail to realize or ignore the fact that pacquiao has been weighing in at 140+ on fight night since back when he was fighting Marquez and campaigning at super featherweight. Dougie fisher of ring magazine had listed his fight nite weight from atleast his past 6 fights awhile back, showing he was gaining anywhere from 10-16pounds overnight reaching around 140 pounds each and every time, thereby destroying the myth that Pacquiao has suddenly and rapidly grown bigger and stronger through the use of PEDS or steriods. It would seem obvious then that atleast some of Pacquiao's effectiveness at higher weight classes particularly at 140 is due to the fact of no longer needing to dehydrate and then rapidly rehydrate the body in 24 hours prior to fighting. Furthermore, i'd argue that Pacquiao was slower at 147 versus cotto, clottey, than he was at 126-140 versus Marquez, Barrera, Diaz, Hatton. In fact despite dominating cotto clottey and Hoya at welter weight, i'd argue that his power is somewhat diminished compared to when he was fighting at a 140 or lower. His power while still there at welterweight, isnt really that strong compared to his one punch KO ability at superfeatherwight or his one fights at lightweight and jr welterweight. It is pacuiaos ability to land punches that "arent seen" due to his speed and his angles more than his power that ultimately causes the damage as noted by everyone hes fought at welterweight ie Dela Hoya, Cotto and Clottey.
Ask the wife? You really think the wife would know more about this not his handlers?? I'd rather ask, his strength/conditional trainer, doctor and roach if I was guaranteed a truthful response.
