It's funny how during a recent interview on the BoxingTruth radio
how Roger Mayweather belittles Pacquiao, saying how he got beat by Morales and has two knockouts against him, but in the same interview says Manny is on mythological "A-side" meth that according to Roger, Filipinos have been using for 500 years. If this was the case, I think we'd see a whole lot more Pacquiao-like pugulists coming out of that country. The fact is, Puerto Rico, a country with far less people than the Philippines, has exponentially more boxing legends than even famous Filipino boxers Filipinos themselves can name off the top of their heads.
Somewhere along the way, Pacquiao must have found some undetectable PED and started using it. He has such a monopoly on this PED, that no one else seems to know about it.
Really? Really???
The fact is this Pacquiao on PEDS is a misconception resulting from incorrect reasoning by the Mayweathers. It appears to be a built in excuse for Floyd to avoid Pacquiao and if he does eventually fight him, an excuse for losing.
This fallacy is based on certain points:
1) Pacquiao has been growing through the weightclasses.
2) His punching power has increased.
3) His head looks big.
4) He won't take the test without a cutoff.
1) While it is true that Pacquiao have moved from weight division to another, the fact is that from 2006 through 2009, his actual weight has stayed relatively flat.
Here is an article by Avi Korine that needs to be revisited given the constant "Manny is on PEDs" statements:
2) Pacquiao has always had power in his left hand.
Here he is at 7 wins, no loses knocking someone silly with a punch that looks like the one that floored Hatton:
What Roach did was develop Manny's right hand after the 1st Morales fight in Pacquiao lost. Manny won the 2nd fight by breaking El Terrible's nose in round 6, effectively bothering Morales the rest of the way. Manny won the 3rd fight with a right hook to Morales's head.
3) All Manny needs is a haircut.
4) Reasons based on principles aside, even Travis Trygart inadvertantly admits that they blood testing was stopped 18 days before the Mayweather-Mosley fight, albeit unannounced, to give athletes the maximum chance to perform.
Pacquaio gave blood samples right before the Morales fight, Pacquiao's last loss. I can see him relating blood tests to losing. A lot of athletes are superstitious (for example, Michael Jordan believes he needs to always wear his UNC shorts for everygame to win)

Manny refusing to take blood tests 14-days before the fight doesn't mean he's hiding something.
I believe Mayweather beats Pacquiao systematically. I think Floyd is making a big mistake not taking this fight because this fight will rank him among Sugar Ray Robinson and Ali, in my opinion. A win for Mayweather will seal his legacy as one of the greatest.
Unfortunately, Floyd talks about retiring and the rest of the Mayweathers continue with the PED theories without any substantial evidence, real or otherwise.
Ironically, this Mayweather PED fallacy just makes Pacquiao look like "the truth".
The only known truth is that Manny Pacquiao, in 56 fights has never failed a drug test ordered by the standing boxing commission.
