Why PACQUIAO Doesn't Train High Altitude?

[JOM'S]

high altitude training really helps .... what a monster will PAC be if he go HIGH!!

[Eaner0919]

it's not all mental, the lack of oxygen at higher altitudes makes breathing easy as well once you come back down, It's a great way to build insane stamina. JMM is an example.

Actually the effects of high altitude training only last for about 3-4 days once you change enviroments then once your body gets acclimated to your new surroundings (ie Vegas) then it adjusts accordingly. While it seemingly helps guys like JMM it also did little or no good for guys like Vargas and DLH who both bought complexes in Big Bear and then sold them.

stamina, IMO, is like chin either you have it or you don't

No need, he's got a portable hyperbaric chamber where he sleeps when he's training.

Either that or...... some medical means....

No. High altitude training improves your heamatochrit (spelling) level (red blood cells). The effect is better oxygenintake at lower altitudes. The effect usually lasts 2-3 weeks.

Same effect can be gained artificially (read illegally).

most boxers train high altitude for more stamina and endurance. but pacquiao doesn't still his stamina is demonic. can someone with great knowledge explain please.

because he's half-man half-monkey, like Goku from dragonball z.

Wow.. Imagine if Pacman knocks out De La Hoya with a body shot.

[Grrrr]

Hemoglobin I believe is the word, but right idea, the red blood cells get increased to make up for the lower oxygen level at the higher altitude

same reason runners train in Colorado, for example.
