Read the whole article it is really well thought.
Night of the Fight HBO Weigh-ins for Manny:
Pacquiao-Morales I - March 19, 2005 - 139 pounds... the look, tight and chiseled. Amount of weight gained overnight... 9.5 pounds.
Pacquiao-Morales III - November 18, 2006 - 144 pounds... the look, slightly wider but still strong and defined. Amount of weight gained overnight... 14 pounds.
Pacquiao-Marquez II - March 15, 2008 - 145 pounds... the look, same as the fight before. Amount of weight gained overnight... 16 pounds.
Pacquiao-Diaz - June 28, 2008 - 147 pounds... strong and defined. Amount of weight gained overnight... 12 pounds.
Pacquiao-De la Hoya - December 6, 2008 - 148.5 pounds... slightly stronger and defined. Amount of weight gained overnight... 6.5 pounds.
Hypothetically speaking, what if for some reason either fighter tests positive for a substance? Does that jeopardize the entire fight from happening?
I would imagine if it were Pacquiao that tested positive, Mayweather camp says "I told you so" and refuses the fight, deferring the millions of dollars that could have been earned. At least this way, he could say that he was the best P4P the entire time and say it was no contest.
If Floyd were to test positive on the other hand, I see Pac's camp saying "who gives a shit, let's fight anyway".
Like many people i'm very suspicious. Hope if he is... he gets caught b4 he retires
Good thing no one gives a fck if you're suspicious because you don't know shit about steroids.
For people who believe Pacquiao is clean, this article is vindication and brilliant rebuff but for those who suspect he's on something, it's just another apologist piece written by a Pacman admirer. I give Manny the benefit of the doubt that he's steroid free.
PacHaters and some Floyd Stans READ IT CAREFULLY!
Quote from the article:
All of this is extremely simple my friends. Almost too simple.
As for the arguments that Pacquiao is that much stronger, faster, better, unhurtable, and has a bigger head at the 140-147 pound weight class... unless you measured the man's head when he was at 130 and measured it today, you can't assume anything. Pictures definitely do change perceptions at certain angles but the measuring tape never does.
Manny Pacquiao gained 17 pounds of muscle in 20 months?
I don't think so... more like 4.5 pounds of muscle in 25 months. Even then... it might not even be 4.5 pounds of muscle being that when you cut to make an artificially lower weight, your body never truly rehydrates to it's full potential due to a lack of full cell expansion due to a lack of carbohydrates in the body.
I'm no smart man in any way, shape, or form... but I ain't no dummy either.
Pacquiao's achieved all that he has based on hard work, dedication, and some great genetics that kicked in later on in life...
thanks for this.
