Was Floyd Mayweather Jr. clean (PEDs'free) during his era?

[Atypicalbrit]

What about seemingly endless stamina and one in a million fast twitch muscle fibres?

I would say Floyd Mayweather, of all people, had quite the outrageous physical ability.

He had seemingly endless stamina because he managed his energy.

He regularly threw WAY less than the average punches in his weight class.

Floyd was throwing like 360 punches over 12 rounds at 147lb and nobody questions it when Usyk throws 700 at 225lbs

Floyd was the best fighter of the last 20 years at accuracy, timing and defence, that's what made him great, guys like Usyk and Lomachenko are the ones with insane workrate deep into their 30s why don't we question them?

Yeah maybe. Or could be PED use.

Not true. What do you think the average punches thrown for a Welterweight is?

Well, you just made that number up. How often did Floyd ever only throw 360 punches in a 12 round fight? I can't think of a single 12 round fight where he threw less than 400 punches. Most of the time well exceeding 400, closer to 500. Even Baldomir, one of his lesser active fights he threw close to 500 punches.

Against Miguel Cotto, at Jr MW, He threw close to 700 punches.

Which isn't "way less than average" for that weight class it's actually probably above average.

They are questioned. Or should be at least.

Doesn't make Floyd any less suspect. The chances that used PEDs I would put down as very high.

Ive never looked at actual stats on Floyd but it was plain to see his workrate was one of the most economical Ive ever seen, he only got away with it because his accuracy was so high add to that his amazing work eithic with his silky smooth style and I would expect no less,than amazing stamina, the actual criteria people use to suspect Floyd could be said about many great champions, and if you drill down into it the most common denominator will be they don't like Floyd, as I said earlier the Tall Poppy syndrome is a real thing.

Anyone who gets caught with street iv treatments to the doses he was doing (same doses Armstrong took btw) which he knew was against the rules shows he is a man isn’t afraid to potentially cheat

the ref flag is there and i see him like Armstrong. Lots of rumours he got exemptions too when tested positive

nobody will know but if I had to take a guess, my and we would be he was not clean

Whatever you goofs say to make you sleep better at night. Floyd's skills and fight iq are unmatched, and no one was able to figure him out. Cope more you hating weirdos.

BS they are the same dose as Armstrong he took up to twice the amounts, and he wasnt caught he had them witness it, there was no hiding it was all out in the open.

Floyd once talked about doing “vampire facials” - blood doping. Stamina.

[-Kev-]

Yes he was clean.

Fat slobs and dad bod-having motherfckers might be jealous of how he looked and what he achieved, but that comes down to genes and being part of an entirely boxing family. It’s that simple.

If Manny Pacquiao had demanded Olympic style drug testing, urine and blood testing, from Floyd Mayweather Jr, and Mayweather declined and refused to fight unless those demands were dropped, then that would’ve raised my eyebrows.

It was Floyd Mayweather Jr who started the whole movement for stricter testing. After he demanded that, a bunch of boxers started doing it.

Idk if it’s news to anyone, but a lot of Black people just have good genes. Most of my childhood friends were black, and even as teens, if they even looked at a dumbbell their bicep would grow. It was pretty unfair how they could get so much more gains than me when we did the same workouts. But that’s just the cons of having mostly Spaniard and just part Black. It just is what it is. I was a little jealous of it but not to the point of accusing them of using steroids at 14 years old. That’s just some ho ass, jealous European type sh/t.

There is a reason the dude was paying like 5x the money to get "tested" by USADA back in the day.
Crusading as the clean athlete while getting exemptions from them for using IV and what not.
At this point I think everyone was on something before VADA testing became mainstream.
