Comments Thread For: Joshua Clottey Dissects The Manny Pacquiao/Steroids Myth

[PensionKiller]

Manny and Pacquiao have more class than Floyd and his family.

Heck look at the crimes that family has done or the trouble it has. Floyd isn't even married to the mother of his children.

Damn this Manny and Pacquiao character must be pretty awesome

Get off your high horse. You act like this is the first family in history to have problems.

You're going on about Floyd not being married to his children's mother, but Manny cheated on his wife. Where is the sanctity and morals in that? Since you are being judgmental about how another man lives his life.

What difference does it make, and what does Floyd's families problems have to do with him boxing? At least he isn't a deadbeat father

By Keith Idec - Joshua Clottey seems as certain that Manny Pacquiao isn’t on steroids as he is that he will win their welterweight title fight March 13 in Arlington, Texas.

Clottey refused to support suggestions from Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Floyd Mayweather Jr. regarding Pacquiao’s possible use of performance-enhancing drugs on a conference call to promote their fight. After getting to know Pacquiao during the press tour for their HBO Pay-Per-View main event, Clottey cannot bring himself to suspect Pacquiao of wrongdoing.

Mayweather’s supporters surely will call Clottey naïve, but Clottey couldn’t care less.

“I don’t want to do that, because I respect him so much,” Clottey said. “He’s a very nice guy. I feel comfortable around him. He’s a nice, classy guy. He respects everybody. … I don’t think Manny Pacquiao does [steroids]. But if he does that, then that is cheating the sport.”

Clottey (35-3, 20 KOs, 1 NC), a Bronx, N.Y., resident raised in Ghana, understands why steroid speculation has swirled around Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) now that he has dominated Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto in his last three fights. But Clottey contends those fighters made mental mistakes that enabled Pacquiao to stop each of them. [Click Here To Read More]

good on clottey atleast hes not accusing pacqiuao of using steroids..

I dont give a **** ass what crooked ass bob arum has to say about commissions. Guess why he cant promote fights in Arizona ever again? Because they proved he was bribing judges and commission officials. Remember when Arum said he spoke to Travis Tygart he called him and all of the USADA a bunch of loons. Could it be because he can't pay them off!?! Thats my hunch and I would bet anybody 100 dollars that was the case. The commission has already shown that they aren't compitent enough to catch peds like the clear and the cream mosely used to beat their sub standard piss test 10 years ago. In Texas they dont even piss test at all unless their is reasonable doubt i.e. pay me a bribe to test the other guy. Anybody that is against up to date drug testing to ensure fights is a complete bafoon. The only way a person could be against better drug testing and ensuring fair fights is if they worship Manny Pacquiao as their god or if Manny employs them. All other level minded people see right through pac's, arum's, and roach's bull****. **** everybody that supports cheating in fights through sub standard, proven failures of piss tests. Thats the TRUTH.

im glad some1 raised this issue coz im sick and tired of bob arum and co. talking about the commission like they are the vatican. Remember this is the same commission that signed off Margarito's gloves and the same commission that bent its own rules for Manny forcing a 147 world champion to defend his belt at 145 !?? im sorry but people need to realise that the commission aint no saints.... they are as corrupt as bob arum or don king... anyone using this argument clearly has no interest in making sure we have a clean sport.

im not saying that some dont have a valid point and i believe that had Floyd always insisted on Olympic testing throught his career he would have a stronger case - but lets not keep holding up the commission like they are some moral father figure please

[rene s]

Mosley AGREEING and Mosley being forced are two different things. Mosley wants Mayweather and has nothing to hide, so he accepts the tests because he wants to whoop Mayweather's ass.

Pacquiao turns down the fight because he has something to hide.

elementary mentallity!!!

[blackops]

It's called I have no leverage to do or say anything about it anyway.

AMEN! Manny Pacquaio's giving Clottey his biggest payday to date and after Pacquaio wipes the canvas with him it will probably be his biggest payday ever again. So what do you expect Clottey to say? He would be a fool to say otherwise and don't forget the fact they're both promoted by Top Rank.

[drudolphreese]

Can someone that believes Pac is on steroids, tell me why. i keep hearing that he has too much power for his size. But lets break it down. Pac in his last six fights has a UD over Barrera, a SD over JMM, knocked out Diaz who wasn't very hard to hit and it took him 9 rounds, TKO Dela Hoya who said Pac hits very soft, KO Hatton who was knocked out by Floyd (who doesnt have that much pop) and a TKO over Cotto, who has been hurt more than a handful of times in his career by much lesser fighters. With this resume why would anyone accuse him of being on steroids. before the Floyd fans roast my post i want to say im not a Manny fanboy, i just don't see it.

[Biolink]

I don't believe Pac's jucing perse. Most people didn't even give a damn what Mayweather Sr. thought until Team Pacquiao kept spewing out excuse after excuse, when early on they made it clear that drug testing wouldn't be a proble,.

That to me raises su****ion.

But I personally believe that they just needed more time to prepare for the fight, but they won't outright say it.

[FasTHarD]

In short Clottey mean to say Floyd don't want a piece of Pacquiao. Floyd Sr knows Pac will knock his son out. That's why they make a ****** issues without any proof.
