Floyd back when he threw combinations consistently

[HARLEM AL]

i smell PEDS

Thing is he hasn't fought anyone close to his speed while moving up. I think when he fights floyd(who obviously isnt fast as he use to be but he def the fastest out there at the weight other then manny) we will see where manny speed is.

Thats usually what happens as you move up in weight, you dont get faster.

I'll wait

I am huge PBF fan but a few things have to put into perspective IMO. Usually when a lower weight fighter goes up in weight the fighters they face are slower than they are so even if the lower fighter speed has decreased its not that noticable because they are still the faster fighter. What usually is the problem though is that the lower weighter fighter can not take the punches better and deal with the strength of the higher weight fighters.

IMO Manny has not done a damn thing that impressive to me to make me think he is on something. I agree that all the different excuses and comments that came from Manny himself and people in his camp have raised doubts but as for his performance in the ring I just have not been impressed to that degree.

Also PBF was never a fighter who really cut weight so his rise in weight classes was more normal and gradual than most which obviously was the right way to do it because it has worked well for him. The move to 147 was much more different than I think he realized and he worked on his strength in those 2 years that he took off. I mean I don't remember really seeing PBF in other workout videos doing dips and pull-ups or working with weights.
Manny used to cut a lot of weight and when you stop cutting that much weight your body performs better and add to that (no disrespect to Manny at all) Manny has been since the 2nd Marquez fighting fighters whose style is more conducive to making him look good. Which means he should get the results he has been getting.
