      Grown men hero-worshipping people who they've never met because they're good at sports. Not looking for a sport to love, but looking for a **** to suck.

      Aren't you supposed to grow out of this **** when you reach a certain age, usually somewhere in the teens?

      I wouldn't like it if the fighters I like were on PEDs. But it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

      They're probably all over pro sports, and no, most pro athletes aren't gonna say "no, I honor honesty and playing fair over winning" when given the opportunity to take a PED that will most likely not be tested for.
      you know if pac was on hgh i wouldnt care at all. james toney being on it didint damage his legacy, for me personally, it wouldnt damage pacs neither. keep in mind, i live in the bay area and was a huge bonds fan. once i saw all those hypocrits go down with bonds, i realized crying about roids is pointless. infact.

      i miss roids in baseball, dudes like brady anderson every other year was entertaining.

        Basically. It's a shame what happened to Bonds - just because he was 5x better than everyone before steroids then he was 100x better after he started taking them. So now that we know everyone's a user, he still has the homerun record, right? I hope so.

        Anyway, I wouldn't mind too much if the top boxers came out and admitted it. Let's face it, the chances that your fave boxer is using is very high.

          yeah I'm almost sure steroids wasn't available back in his days

          my question was, IF steroids were available back in his days would people also accuse Armstrong of being a steroid user instead of acknowledging his unbelievable achievements?

            That's a weird question. Did people ever accuse Pernell Whitaker? If not, why do you think they didn't? I mean, Pea wasn't as loved as Manny. In fact, compared to Manny he was hated. Why didn't they accuse him?

                  lol, i think manny is accused of steroids use by some people, because those people's opinions were based from an opinion of a crackhead.


                  did pernell move up so many divisions? like armstrong and manny, and did he carry his power up in so many wt class that would give some idiots su****ion that he is on steroids?

                      I see your point but I'm here to tell you - as I'm sure several others on this board will attest to - the rumors of Pacquiao being on steroids didn't start with Floyd Mayweather Sr. Maybe they did on these boards but among boxing circles this has been going around for over a year. He just said what's been whispered for some time now, being the a**hole that he is. You can't randomly just say, "well why didn't they say that about such and such?" This notion came from somewhere - and not just because he was knocking cats into next week, follow me?

                      It's just one of those things. And it's kind of sad but I think the question people need to ask themselves is, if you're favorite fighter was found out, would you care? Because believe me - a lot of these top fighters are using heavy.
