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

Where are you getting that stat from that link? That link is a Compubox comparison to Roy Jones. You know that, right?

What do you think the average punches thrown is for a Welterweight?

Because you just said Floyd threw 360 punches per 12 round fight but that was just a made up lie on your part and from what I remember Floyd never threw less than 400 punches in a 12 round fight and went as high as nearly 700 punches in a 12 round fight.

So what are you talking about?

Actually Floyd had incredible percentages according to punch stat numbers. His efficiency was the best as I remember it. I remember this because I was thinking about Ward compared to him in the efficiency department when it came to punches.

But I never heard he threw less punches... Just that he was accurate. people may be assuming his accuracy equals the notion he threw a small amount of shots... Ward MIGHT be in that category... might be and I don't know if even he threw less punches because of his accuracy.

I heard a whisper that he trained like an animal,

......for the always dangerous Andre Berto

.......who told you this Jeff Fenech

Seriously doubt it. In fact I believe he used the "clean up boxing" blood test scam as a way to hide his own PED use while pointing the finger at other fighters. Prior to 2015 he was already suspect with claims of sealed documents showing he was injecting his hands with Lidocaine/Xylocaine. There is a reason he chooses USADA and refused to fight outside of the protective cloak of the NASC in Nevada. Then there is the illegal IV which he is granted a TUE exception for three weeks after being caught.

There is also the low testosterone levels. Mayweather tested at a .6 and .8 for the testosterone levels, where it should have been 2 to 3 for an athlete of his caliber.

Floyd was a drug cheat who scammed the system with payoffs and bribes, maybe even blackmail. He better hope someone close to him like Ellerbe doesn't turn on him and start giving up secrets.

Froid Pedweather was clearly an hypocritical PED cheat, who was bribing USADA so he could cheat while his opponents couldn't

Why did you think I was referring to you?

It's a thread about Floyd and steroids...so....who else were you referring to? You quoted me after all....

[BoxingParadigm]

Probably not.

[clmags12]

?? Really? Could either of you guys xplain to someone slow like me how that makes sense? I mean Floyd "the ducker extradonaire" couldn't he have found another Berto, to beat up on? And to my limited logic it almost seems like Floyd would have relished fighting a bit more but for the risk of losing the "0."

Yet here I am being informed that it was in fact for the level of competition coming up. Hummm????

Depending on the rankings you looked at Cotto or Margorito were numbers 1 or 2. Both wanted Floyd. Dela Hoya wanted a rematch badly. Any WW of note at the time would be asked, if they wanted Floyd. Ie Paul Williams.
Floyd dipped before he was forced. It's really plain to see. You just being difficult. LOL.

He beat Cotto and he beat the guy that put Margqrito to sleep, and Williams said himself the fight wasn't ready at the time and then he had his accident, I think whats plain to see is you haven't looked into any of the details and just run with the narrative you lean towards.

And if one does not like Floyd... Thats ok... But make sense lol. And when you give data from experience, to some of these people? they call you a fan by default. I have done martial arts for over 40 years... I happen not to be a fan of Bruce Lee. I respect him immeasurably, I have interacted with the second generation of his students, in the Oakland area, etc... But when you try to explain to people that people who had real skills said Lee was truly scary... people who actually trained with him, they accuse you of being a "fan." It is my weakness Roadblock: I cannot stand when things do not make sense .

So true lol, haters of anything cant debate facts they want the ol emotional name-calling argument, its never a logical fact-finding debate with haters their brain don't work that way, haters are such a sorry bunch I cant relate to them all, the whole concept of hating somebody you don't know just doesn't compute for me, I get this image of a bunch of urban housewives at the laundromat hating on a guy in a movie.
