Yep. Just like Mark McGwire and Marion Jones were one in a million.

Here you go:

But his spotless track record affords him the benefit of the doubt, and it is possible the explanation is as simple as a good punch in the mouth.

It could just be that for the first time in his career, Pacquiao - who grew up dirt-poor in Quezon City, Philippines, and is said for a time to have lived on the streets - is fighting in the correct weight class.

"All these years, the guy was killing himself to make weight," Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, told me Monday. "He couldn't eat while he was training and he was very unhappy. Now, he can eat breakfast the day of the weigh-in, and it makes a huge difference for him."

In fact, Pacquiao ate breakfast and lunch before the weigh-in for the Cotto fight, and still hit 144, a pound less than the negotiated 145-pound limit.

"It's a shame but whenever a guy's successful, people get jealous and try to come up with reasons to knock it down," Roach said. "Manny don't need no steroids. He doesn't even know what they are.''

It's been a long, tough trip from the gutter to the big time for Manny Pacquiao. Talk like this only confirms that he has finally arrived.

Pacquiao on steriods is ridiculous cause the reason that you all are giving is:

1) he carries his power to the next weight class.

2) he took shots flush and didnt go down.

Henry armstrong moved up and down weight divisons continously, was he on steriod??

After the hearns hagler fight, when hearns saw hagler in the hospital, hearns asked hagler; What made you not go down (referring to the right hands that hagler took flush.) Hagler replied; I refused to go down!

so was hagler on steriods??

Ali took many hard shots from foreman who we all know has devestating punching power but still Ali didnt go down.

Its all about heart and determination!

and besides pacquiao stated after the fight that cotto punches did hurt him but he pretended it didnt so that he could control the fight. he was playing mind games! and pacquiao is the hardest worker besides mayweather when it comes to training! So all these talks that he is on steriods are Bull****!

No offense, but how far did you go in school?

The questions are being asked. That is what DiBella said, and that is what I agreed with.

I do not know if Pac is doing steroids. But he seems to be following a verrrrry familiar pattern.

rao, are you in Asia?
