See, Manny? You can give a few drops of blood and still fight...

If I didn't actually know someone who reacts negatively to blood withdrawal, I might not believe Pacquiao's assertions for a second. Although I think Manny should suck it up for the sake of the biggest fight in years, I understand that he could be telling the truth about his reaction to giving blood. A close friend of mine can't watch a vampire movie; he gets feint seeing blood drawn, even on film. The mind is a strange place.

I want to make it clear that I don't necessarily buy Manny's assertions. I'm only saying that he might be telling the truth. I realize that it's easy enough to make up excuses whenever they suit your needs.
As far as I know, Pacquiao claims that giving blood weakens him for a few days. He doesn't claim to faint when he gives blood, or sees it. I only have my friend as a reference for this phenomenon, since he's the only person I know who feels similarly. He, however, has a psychological aversion to seeing blood drawn: his own; other people's, even on film. What makes it even stranger is that the mere sight of blood isn't what distresses him. It's the sight of blood being drawn that makes him feel light-headed.Last edited by CubanGuyNYC; 05-01-2010, 10:36 AM.Comment

Fine, I'll move on.
I will point out that posting a pick of Manny bleeding in the ring, in a fight which just happened to be the last one he lost, isn't helping your case.
That and 4 or 5 vials taken many times leading up to the fight, is not a few drops.Comment

Neither Shane Mosley nor Floyd Mayweather had any complaints about the testing process.
The only times that the fighters ran into trouble were when GorillaDog was dried out from his workout, and he couldn't give an immediate urine sample...and when Shane was drying out to make weight and couldn't give a urine sample.
There have been ZERO problems with the blood samples. And both fighters look strong and fit.
This further cements that Manny is up to something unusual.Comment
