For quite some time, former two-division champion Paulie Malignaggi has voiced his opinion on the historic eight division title run by Manny Pacquiao.

Malignaggi strongly believes that some form of a performance enhancing drug was involved, at least in the past, when Pacquiao was demolishing opponents like Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito and others.

At one point, Malignaggi was training at the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California - which is owned by Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach.

Roach was so enraged by some of Malignaggi's recent comments - that he threatened violence if he saw Malignaggi walk into the Wild Card. 

"Yeah, that was crazy [that Freddie said he'll fight me]. C'mon Freddie. I don't know [why he's so upset with me]. Freddie knows I'm telling the truth. Freddie was a fighter at one time. He knows I'm not bullsh*tting. If you were a fighter you know what I'm talking about. I think real recognizes real more than skill recognizes skill.  I think all fighters know what Manny did is a bit far-fetched for him to pull off - and not because I couldn't do it," Malignaggi said.

"I've been in gyms all my life and I've seen how weight matters. I've seen fights that I wasn't involved in. I've seen sparring sessions that I wasn't involved in. It doesn't happen. Freddie knows that too, because he's been in gyms all his life. I give Freddie his respect, not arguing with an older man. I wasn't taught that way. But when Freddie puts his head on a pillow he knows I'm right and more important - when Manny Pacquiao puts his head on a pillow he knows I'm right, because he knows what I'm talking about."
