Pacquiao had no advantage over Thurman whatsoever. People need to stop with this excuse. It was an even level playing field.
It's not like Thurman got tested and Pacquiao didn't. Both went through the same stuff. If Pac could have taken PEDs then Thurman could have also done that. They both agreed to the same testing.
Just because Pacquiao won doesn't mean that he was on PEDs and Thurman wasn't , that is ridiculous.
His skills and experience won him the fight.
It was an even level playing field, and that is all that matters.
Because there was no VADA testing for this fight. Manny fans for years posted repeatedly that no Vada testing means the fighters are using PED’s.
Manny/Thurman has “Vada style” testing done by nsac but Vada wasn’t involved in any way. Hence other fans are holding Manny to the same standard his fans created for other fighters.
I agree with you why manny won the fight, but his fans have spent so many years denigrating wins from other men with ridiculous crap. Now that manny isn't using Vada they are now being subjected to what they created.
