Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Talks Manny Pacquiao and Steroids

[Dave Rado]

In a fighter's career, a fighter starts off good and he's good until the end of his career or a fighter starts off good and then goes downhill towards the end of his career. A fighter doesn't start off like Manny Pacquiao, just ordinary, and then once he gets over the age of 25 he becomes and extraordinary fighter. It just doesn't work like that in this sport of boxing," Mayweather said. [Click Here To Read More]

That's absolute and utter rubbish. Lennox Lewis didn't reach his prime until he was in his 30s. Hopkins was considered fairly ordinary until he was in his 30s. Wlad Klitschko has improved dramatically in recent years and is far better now than could possibly have been predicted after his loss to Sanders. Archie Moore peaked in his late 30s.

And Pac started with no money, a homeless vagrant who fought simply in order to eat, and with no training to speak of. Given that, for him to win his first world title when he was only 20 was an incredible achievement, and is very far from being ordinary. Since teaming up with Roach he's become a much more complete fighter but that's because Roach is a great trainer and because Pacquiao has an exceptional ability to follow a game plan. And the change was gradual - it took years.

Floyd is being extremely disingenious and malicious. I hope Pac wins his court case.

no way man, guys are in the prime at anywhere from 26-32. Are all the champions in the lower weight classes 22, 23 years old? nope, there mostly all over 25.

Celestino Caballero - 33 years old. Much better now than he was in his early 20's. Must be on roids!!!

Poonsawat Kratingaenggym - 30 years old on top of his game.

Hozumi Hasegawa - 29 years old, #1 by the ring.

Hasagawa and Cabellero didn't just improve they have always been good, keep going throughout boxing history I can point to way more smaller men that became washed up at a fairly young age then you can guys that improved like a fine red wine.

Boxing generally does not work like that just based on what the sport takes out of a fighter over time. It is not impossible just pretty uncommon.

[Maidana vs Rios]

Floyd just admitted that he thinks Pac is an EXTRAORDINARY FIGHTER.




That's the real story here, my peoples!

[Kampung.Boy]

What an idiot! He is fighting Mosley and he cannot stop talking about Pacman.

[Dave Rado]

not only that...but he asked for that test in the beginning...roach and arum knew that **** from day one...

Not blood tests up until the day of the fight. The initial agreement was very vague.

hahaha, I can't believe you took the time to write all that. LOSER!!!

[ИATAS]

Hasagawa and Cabellero didn't just improve they have always been good

LOL so you're saying pacquiao wasn't good? Cabellero got KO'd in 2003 and lost another fight right after that. What is the difference here? Both Pac and Cabellero were good fighters who have improved over the years.

keep going throughout boxing history I can point to way more smaller men that became washed up at a fairly young age then you can guys that improved like a fine red wine.

No **** man, some guys have short careers others don't. That's why floyd's statement is 100% ******ed.

[ShoulderRoll]

Mosley has agreed to random blood tests and the fight with Mayweather will be made. See how easy that was, Manny?

No its not ******ed. Pac has gotten BIGGER, faster and stronger as hes aged, moved up in weight and KO;d Bigger fighters. I think hes a cheater. You think hes not.

Its a wash.
