How does EPO help Manny in his fight with Floyd?

[Khalid X]

you just Answered your question, EPOquiao wins fight because of EPO, PERIOD!

Lets compare the fights Manny has won by using his superior speed and power vs. his wins where he outworked his opponent (like a Paul Williams)

again....nice try

No one knows for certain if he is on or is not on EPO until he is tested.

What EPO may do for him is allow him to get a second wind if necessary, particularly if he must increase his activity in punch output without gassing out as quickly.

It is a performance enhancer. It will enhance his attributes.

At least, that's my view of why he may be on it.

He could be on something else not easily detectable at the moment.

It just improves stamina. Stamina will not be the deciding factor in this fight, as both are two of the best conditioned athletes in boxing. Now if this was a sport such as running, bicycling etc (where stamina is the main thing that helps you win) then I would agree.

and as far as your last point....nice try but dumb analogy. You must have never played sports because if you did then you would know there is such thing as a "PeaK". Once you reach it then exceding it does more damage then good. So yeah if you already bench than much and squat that much, taking roid wont help you much unless your a body builder.

Nice try though....

dude i wont call you dumb but your post is some ****** ****. EPO along with a variety of other PEDs are PERFORMANCE ENHANCERS! keyword "PERFORMANCE" why do you think baseball players to cyclists to track and field to ufc to basketball and on and on take these? it gives them a competitive edge. Guess what that peak you talk about is the reason these people use performance enhancers it makes them better than they will ever be naturally.

I won't argue that...but why EPO (a stamina booster). I'm not saying PED's, wont help because they obviously will, but again why EPO? This fight will be a slow pace fight and not an action packed brawl with both guys trading.

So how does stamina play apart in this? Floyd's style won't allow for this to be a fast paced fight.....that's what I'm saying. If Pac wins, it will be because he hurts Floyd with his power or lands good shots on him.

BTW even if Pac caught a second wind....that would only be a factor if Floyd was tired or slowing down when that happened. Floyd has never showed signs of fatigue in any of his fight, so whatever pac brought in the stamina department, Floyd would match it. So again...stamina will not be the deciding factor in this fight....hence the use of EPO is pointless.

Ok i'll explain it to you my own experience, i admit i use EPO on a daily basis. what i notice was when sometimes i forgot to use it, my wife nags & complains.

[Khalid X]

and as far as the peak i was mentioning.....Pac, Floyd and Paul Williams have always had the best stamina in the game. Even when Pac lost to Morales and even earlier in his career his stamina was there. So why would he want to increase that peak (at the risk of damaging his health) when it's already better than anyone elses out there.

to give you another analogy...why would lebron james takes PED's to increase his vertical, when he naturally can outjump 99% of the people in the league. Pac's great stamina is all natural as seen as him showing it early on in his career.

[MindBat]

Perhaps, it would be a better idea finding out how well EPO helped Shane against Oscar. Did Shane show signs of stamina problems in the past before meeting Oscar?

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

Most haters are just grasping. The funny thing is that EPO is tested by urine and not blood.

what is found in the blood that indicates a fighter has been using epo?

what is found in the urine that indicates a fighter has been using epo?

your analogy sucks bigtime, how would you know le james did'nt take any drugs during his freshman years? dont you know drugs are being used even in high school?

[Left2body]

I'm not saying that Pac is on anything.......but premise of the OP is kinda crazy. They are called Performance ENHANCING Drugs for a reason. They help guys performer better.

This isn't a video game where a guy's stats can only reach 100. Anyone....ANYONE could improve with PED's.
