    Some info on HGH (from online medical sources): HGH taken alone is actually ineffective in enhancing performance. What the studies show is that HGH can only be effective when it is taken in conjunction with anabolic steroids (i.e. steriods can be detected by urine testing). This means that in order to get the maximum effect an athlete must take both at the same time. The trouble with this fact is that as mentioned earlier anabolic steroids can easily be detected, and with a simple urine test you can already get caught. The information campaign could also lay some emphasis on the possible risks and side effects that can result from too much intake of HGH. Some of these are acromelagy, which in layman's terms is gigantism, increased risk of diabetes, swelling of joints, edema, being more prone to different types of cancer and many others. If this can be done then it would probably dissuade athletes from even thinking about taking HGH.

    Bottom line: Some boxing writers right now (not mentioning Colin here) are trying to say a "one way street" on HGH, however, if you look at the medical facts . . its not "conclusive" and likely much is to be learned and studied about these drugs. However, No amount of drugs will (1) improve your skills and strategy in the ring e.g. if this drug made everybody smarter or gave them a new fountain of skills, everybody will be using it!; (2) the idea of bulking up, c'mon - PacMan is known and recognize for his "speed", not his bulk body or armor muscles. If you ask me, bulking up, would actually sacrifice your speed . . so isn't this an anti-thesis of the Pacquiao fast machine; (3) in this high stakes negotiation where each side attempts to get the better deal i.e. Mayweather's request was answered "half-way" by Pacquiao - 3 blood tests (after fight announcement, before 30 days and just after the fight), these blood tests are not required for professional/competitive boxing in Nevada (Las Vegas), but Pacquiao offered this. The test just after the fight, should provide conclusive and reliable evidence that meet Olympic standards if Pac took anything! (these drugs stay in the body at least a week, depending of quantity taken); (4) Let's take a look at the messenger of this "unsubstantiated allegations" - Mayweathers camp - goodness! these guys are not the bastion of honesty and purity, heck, they could produce a reality series with their numerous court cases, run-ins with the law, tax problems, what have you.

    We don't know whether this fight will push through or not . . However, the ascent of Manny to the top of the boxing world was duly documented in 24/7/media outlets/stories that show: (a) Manny took long hours in the gym, working on a strategy, improving his right hand to be as good as the left hand i.e. if this guy was really on super-performance drugs - why waste too many hours in the gym when you have super strength? why improve your right hand, when with the aid of this wonder drug, all you need is an ultra-power left?; (b) Manny has not shown the behavior of a guy in super-drugs who is all "about me . . me . . i can do this easily". Instead, if you ask Manny - he will just say - "I will try my best to do well, hopefully to win for the Filipino people" or "give God glory". I have not heard any of those humble words from all the drug convicted top athletes; and (c) Finally, no amount of "Mayweather or his minions propaganda" nor articles from writers that quick to judge on unwarranted accusations - - Society and the fans (casual/hard-core) will collectively in its wisdom make their own decisions - and vote empathically with their wallets (e.g. PPV/gate attendance). That will be the definitive statement!.
    Good post, thanks.

      This would be a pretty cool "let down" though.

      I mean Pac/Bradley is a great fight. Bradley is better than Hatton to me. Much better.

        I still think PAC-PBF is going forward ... but just in case it does not....

        if not winner of Mosley/Berto ...

        unification with Bradley and/or championship for 8 weight class would be good alternatives...

            Now Bradley is sounding like an opportunist. He got knocked down 2 or 3 times against Kendall Holt and won what I thought was a close fight. Imagine what would happen against someone like Pacquaio who has fought welterweights and overall Pacquaio's fought much better competition than Bradley. Bradley's a good fighter but I don't think he's ready for Pacquaio.

              Don't sleep on Bradley. Dude has not ducked anybody in his division and finds a way to win each and every time. This is a live fight if it pushes through.

                Hell, lets have this fight instead of gayweather.
                we need two real men with balls in the ring.
                floyd can look for another easy opponent,
                as he has done so throughout his sissy career

                  You had that as a close fight?! I hate TB(That's why I want Pac to whoop his ass.) and I thought it was a blowout.

                    Bradleys 0 will go... Mayweathers 0 will then go... Damn Mayweather is laggin as usual. Their was an article stated by an Examiner whos last name is Guillerm stating that Mayweather will try to do anything to either postpone the fight or not fight at all which is so far half way true. Im surprised that Guillermos oppinion is becoming true when all of a sudden many people blasted it. props to Guillermo.
