What's YOUR TAKE On The Manny Steroid Allegations?

[Sweet Pea 50]

Nope, tested 10 times in Nevada, came out clean every time.

Thought so. Not going to be naive, but I think Manny just has a extra gear.

[GG Marquez]

Also you'll notice ODLH, Hatton and Cotto haven't made any allagations.

Because it would seem like sour g****s.

It bears more weight coming from Cintron, Berto, dibella and malignaggi.

Do you know what you just said? lol

If he was on roids they would of detected it. I don't get how in a professional sport like boxing, people can get away with using it.

I don't get it, the guy used to walk in the ring for his 130 fights at 140+ now he's coming in the ring at 148 for his 145 fight.

All this fuss because the dude put on 8lbs in a year? Seriously? thats 8lbs when he's not trying to cut his weight unnaturally low during training.

Thats my take, his later 130 career was based on him cutting his weight down rather than pumping up a huge amount now.

I agree with this.

You would think the HBO 24/7 Camera team would have caught something during training camp if he was on a PED.

For the poll, I think Pac is clean.

There are around 5 posters "accusing" Pac and around 5x that trying to defend him. To everyone accusing Pac, is this what it has come to? Usually the critics of Pac diminish his accomplishments by downplaying his opposition (ODLH shot, next guy weight drained, etc.) by now using this PED argument, then is that admitting that the accomplishments were actually too good that it just has to be PED? Wouldn't this diminish a win by Floyd over Pac also? To the people who are defending Pac, I remind you that there will always be critics anyway, you can't convince everyone. On the lighter side, the exchanges here are way amusing! Go NSB!

Shane and Evander were never caught.

Please extract your head from the sand.

[Fox Mulder]

He is innocent until proven guilty.

Yeah, sure they would... They caught Marion Jones 5-6 years later after the Sydney where she "won" 5 medals.

All that steroid talk, there is millions of different steroids... Not everyone will make you bigger and stronger.

In fight sports steroids are used for recovery after workouts, so you can work harder for longer time, with more effect.

Do i believe Manny uses something, yeah, probably... But he is not the only one, in the end, we can only speculate. I know what one fighter said (who trains in Vegas) about roids, and what kind of science has become that.

And do they even test for HGH?

So, if someone isn't positive it could mean that he cycled correctly and didn't get caught


But you can't tell me that changing three weight classes in one year, fighting against top guys, and beating them easy is possible for everyone.

Either Pacquiao is using something extra, or he is special human being.

You can compare him to Marquez, who also moved up quickly for Floyd fight, there was big difference how they looked, Manny looked great at 145, Marquez looked like **** (much slower, weaker, didn't look right).

Make your own opinion how is that possible.

In the end, no one can be sure.. But i believe he is using something.

[Roger Mellie]

Seems like there's been a lot of talk about this lately.

Does anyone here believe Manny is actually on roids or are you at all su****ious about it?

My take on it is that its a disgusting slur that is completely undeserved,and wholly self serving to the accusers. Not one scrap of evidence has emerged to support it,and I dont anticipate any. This kind of crap only serves to harm boxings image,and once again its people inside boxing that are shooting the sport in the foot.
