Ima be HONOUST, I love MANNY I really do but MANNY is using ILLEGAL SUPPLEMENTS

[mushahadeen]

If Manny Pacquiao was stranded on a deserted island for 60 days without Alex Ariza, supplements, or vitamins of any kind-- and ate nothing but coconuts and fish. He would still KO Paul Malignaggi.

You know why I suspect him? Because like Malignaggi said he took those punches from Cotto waaaay too well. Pacquiao never looked hurt. That's not right man its unhuman. At first, I made fun of Floyd Sr but now I think he has a point. Alex Ariza is the man behind all of this. Ever since Ariza has been with him, Manny became like a machine.

Manny is getting away with these illegal supplements just like those athletes get away from de TOUR de FRANCE get away with it. De Tour de France has one of the most strict anti-doping policies in the world and even they admit that they can't catch everyone because technologies nowadays are so advanced its very difficult to test if someone is positive or not. They usually find out someones been positive months later. Just like they caught the winner of de Tour de France 2 years ago a couple of months after he had already won.

Think about this: They couldnt catch Margarito cheating with Plaster of Paris so how in the world will they catch Manny cheating with illegal supplements. Manny and Alex know its very hard for him to get caught cheating. The only way they can find out is by taking urine or a sample of blood just before the fight. And we all know that aint never gonna happen.

I hope I'm wrong but I feel sad because I think I'm right.

pretty laid out explanation.

it is safe to say that from the mega fights down to the club fights...
everybody is a suspect for using PEDs/illegal supplements.

[Bring It On]

Please stop this bull****. Without any evidence what so ever it's just lame.

Floyd is worried that his son will loose his 0, Paulie dreams about having 50% of Mannys punching power and is jealous as ****.

Teri Tom, MS, RD, is a board member of the Bruce Lee Foundation and a certified Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do instructor under Sifu Ted Wong.

Teri is also a registered dietitian with a BA in communications studies from UCLA, a master's degree in nutritional science from California State University, Los Angeles, and a certificate in personal training from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. She specializes in sports nutrition and runs her practice out of the exclusive SportsClub/LA in West Los Angeles.

She has been Pac's nutritionist since the the pre-DLH fight.

Tom said she was challenged to build up Pacquiao’s body mass without compromising his speed and power when he decided to move up two weight classes to fight De la Hoya.

“Manny has a history of dipping into the 130s only several weeks into training which was fine when he was fighting at a lower weight but this time, we had to keep him heavy so he’d have some heft going into the ring with Oscar,” wrote Tom in her book “Martial Arts Nutrition.”

Tom said in Pacquiao’s diet, she increased the frequency of his meals and switched his supplements. She introduced a protein shake of about 20 grams in the morning before jogging and another 20 grams after his workout in the afternoon. There was also a mid-morning snack, usually an egg sandwich. The goal was to build his muscle mass.

Eating a lot of calorie-laden food at his favorite Thai restaurant beside the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles was not a problem in Tom’s program.

“When you’re Manny, you burn through calories like there’s no tomorrow,” said Tom. “My feeling is if he’s four to six percent body fat and losing muscle is a concern, I’m not going to quibble about the Thai restaurant and coconut sauces. It’s more important that he get those calories in and that it’s palatable to him and that he enjoys his food. A lot of people ask me about the four cups of rice he’ll have. Again, not a problem when body fat is coming down and we are preserving muscle.”

Tom said a careful balance of nutritional intake is crucial during Pacquiao’s training period. “Carbohydrate intake during extended bouts of exercise has been proved to improve performance,” she noted. “Carbohydrates are key to fueling your alertness and skill whether you’re training or competing.”

is this a joke?

i've seen fighters take WAY worse shots over the course of a fight. how about arreola vs vitali klitschko? how many monster shots did he take and never go down? you can believe what you want, but basing the steroid argument on the punches pacquiao took is pretty god damn ******, since he did not take that many.

plus, as far as my knowledge goes, steroids won't make a significant difference in your chin, maybe your punching power, endurance, strength, etc... but your chin isn't something that is going to get serious development.

im pretty sure pacquiao also conceded that he was hurt by some of cotto's shots.

this thread is dumb, provide something solid, not just speculative bull****. should i make a thread saying mayweather is on steroids since hes undefeated and moved so far up in weight?

your argument is moot.
