Mayweather Sr. post pacquiao/cotto interview "I don't want my son to fight him"

[sycomantz]

Roy Jones?



Okay, hypothetically, let's say Pacquiao is on steroids and that they do make your chin better. You still can't get by the way he has against fighters like JMM, DLH, Hatton and Cotto with a good chin and sub-par skills.


Pacquiao is very, very skilled and gifted fighter. He's not just some random flavor of the week boxer.

Roids don't give you a better chin, they don't make you a better fighter and they won't help you win 7 world titles.

one more time, i never said they give you a better chin, i never said they give you better skills, i never said pac was weak-chinned

what they will do, is have an effect on your pain tolerance amoungst improving your speed, strength and power

[Squabbles94806]

PBF is unsure about fighting Pac, because the unbeaten record means so much to him and hes in danger of losing it.

Hes caught in two minds because he really would love to have Pac on his resume but its dangerous.

That's for sure. Paco is really dangerous for Mayweather.

Has Pacquiao ever tested positive? Do you have proof(actual medical records)?...

If your answer to both these is no then it would be better if you stop posting because you're making yourself look like a fool....

What evidence do you have that they help your pain tolerance because I have never heard of that or know of any proof that is true.

I think people take steroids for different reasons because there are many different types of steroids.

Boxing there isn't a ton of steroid abuse believe it or not because one thing steroids do is put lean muscle on you. As a fighter you are constantly fighting to keep weight and that's not ideal.

Now if you are going up in weight, then I could see it and that's the su****ion that people have about Manny. If you see his body though, he's always been in phenomenal shape. He has had to gain muscle because of the weight increase but if you are going to make that argument, then you could make the same for JMM. He looked very muscular compared to what we have seen from him in the past.

I don't think manny is on steroids, I just think Manny is a ***in bad ass that whooped Cotto like he stole something.

[THE REED]

he really thinks manny is on roids...he has his reasons.

how was JMM able to put pac down but cotto wasnt.

something is up

He isn't draining 15 pounds anymore for one.

[6Bound]

Because boxing is a skill and JMM has more than Cotto or Manny..

Skills or not. Right now the Pac that fought Cotto on saturday would flatten JMM in 6 rounds or less..And after seeing Diaz wobble and knock JMM around for a couple rounds Cotto would do the same only worse..

[TheNegation]

What evidence do you have that they help your pain tolerance because I have never heard of that or know of any proof that is true.

It's a myth/urban legend. Much like Roid Rage which is also a myth. Just a word made up by news media to describe the way steroids increase aggression. But they quickly twisted it from Aggression, to psychotic uncontrollable, homicidal, suicidal rage.

Boxing there isn't a ton of steroid abuse believe it or not because one thing steroids do is put lean muscle on you. As a fighter you are constantly fighting to keep weight and that's not ideal.

Well that's not necessarily true. The amount of LBM you put on has a lot to do with diet.

I don't think manny is on steroids, I just think Manny is a ***in bad ass that whooped Cotto like he stole something.

Word Son

He isn't draining 15 pounds anymore for one.

Lets see when he fought Marquez, he had to weigh in at 130, but came into the ring at 140+

Now he is fighting at 145 and coming into the ring around the same.

If you don't have to drain 10-15lbs of water, you are going to feel healthier.

Dehydration effects your body incredibly. You can pass out sitting in a chair from being dehydrated, imagine being punched in the face.

[Mugwump]

If you want to increase your pain tolerance you take pain killers - not steroids.

Hold up, weight drained means you can't make a certain weight and are focing yourself to make that weight.

Manny could still make 130lbs. He wasn't weight drained he's just at a weight right now that he has no business being at. That's why it was so amazing what he has done.

Manny could still make 135, 130 if he had to and I don't think it would be "weight drained"

He might feel more comfortable at this weight but remember, he weighed 144 not 147. So there is a reason this was a catch weight.
