Lets assume Manny wasn't on PEDs and He suddenly does for his next fight. What type of punching power do you think he'd have?
Roy Jones like power at the 147 division perhaps? Or maybe he'd start hitting like Tommy Hearns?
I guess I am just not convinced that peds improve a fighter that much. Some old timers like Robinson and Louis were very impressive before peds were around. Would they have been twice as good if they had used peds.? I don't think so.
Steroids was around back then but I get your point.
Of course steroids help athletes in terms of strength & recovery & so forth but myself, I think its totally blown out of proportion to how much they will aid an athlete.
I am not saying they don't have advantages but people who go on that they will give you superhuman strength, give you unlimited stamina, reflexes of a cat, punching power of a prime Foreman etc are grossly mistaken.
I also think that unless your training routine is on point and your diet is near perfect & you're getting sufficient rest you will see minimal gains in anything from steroids.

No one knows who is using PEDs or not ... unless you are stupid enough to get caught by the incompetent tests of today
Donaire is the only guy I would say for sure is 100% clean.
Floyd PED tested positive on 3 occasions but covered up by GBP and USADA just like Morales, Pac did not. Get your fact straight.

If Pac was on PED on his past fights he would ko all his opponents like Marquez did to Pacquiao. Pacquiao couldn't ko Marquez, Cotto, Mosley, Clottey, Margarito and vice versa but Marquez now easily koed Pacquiao. Pacquiao was laughing at Marquez punches on their last 3 fights but now he can't.
no difference, he's been juicing all this time, look at the size of his phu.ckign head, how can you miss from hitting it ?
