Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez Explains His Tremendous Shape

[TimothyQ]

The guy is obviously on PEDS. An untrained man can drastically change his body in his late 30's with diet and exercise but an elite athlete doesn't leave much room for improvement as they age. His physical change is only seen in dopers, he works with a known PED guy and he refuses to take stringent testing.

The whole thing is a shame. I used to love the guy an thought he won 2 of the first three fights with Pac but now he's just a scumbag putting people's lives at risk.

Its simple, he hired the Michael Jordan of PED's

i dont know man ariza a close second

[James_Toney]

Yea, that proves he doesn't have power... because he didnt knock them out exactly the same way

he has power....

but the knockdowns are not comparable to that ko....

Incredible Hulk, what a beast JMM is. Can't wait for the Bradley fight I still pick Bradley to win.

I remember when little Pacquiao moved up 3 weight classes in the span of a year and stopped 2 HOF's, then the whole testing thing came up and things got shady. Because of the fact that a Flyweight was stopping fighters that fought at Middlweight. I honestly find it laughable when Pacquiao fans talk about moving up in weight and getting impressive wins. It reminds me of Mayweather fans accusing other fighters of ducking lol

Well, I'm not an "anybody" fan, I'm a fan of straight facts. In his meticulous and factual article on the Pacquiao "PEDS" and superstitions affair, on the site "Seconds Out", (readily available on the internet), Thomas Hauser pointed out that between the same ages, from 16 to age 31, Pacquaio moved up from 106 lbs to 147 whilst Mayweather moved up from 106 to 154 lbs.

All the talk of Marquez always being a puncher has no merit here, because in the previous 36 rounds Marquez' best punches never even bothered Pacquiao in the slightest, this time he turs up rippling and bulging with never-before-seen muscles and solidly KOs him.

I believe that the punch would have had at best, a KD effect, like the earlier one, ...but for the fact that the rushing Pacquiao tripped over Marquez' outstretched foot, and fell face forward into the punch. This seems to have been completely ignored, when it seems by far the best reason for the stunning KO. Marquez couldn't even see where the punch was landing, or even if it was.

If Marquez isn't on PED's he needs to get on them and so does every Mexican fighter. If Pacroid can be on PED's to beat Mexicans and be made rich and famous--why not? If Mexicans pay off judges like CJ Ross it's ok too because we always get robbed in title fights. LOL! Mexiphobes hate Mexicans more than they love boxing and they're like the false worshippers in the bible who claimed they loved God with their lips but showed otherwise with their actions. Reap what you sow motha ****as! Viva Mexico! LOL!

lmaooooo what other fighters do you think are on the juice?

[ShoulderRoll]

Marquez has always had a lot of knockouts on his record, that's nothing new. For his last fight he also chose to be less conservative. He was more willing than usual to take one in order to land one. I think that paid off with the spectacular knockout.

Lastly JMM has never failed a commission drug test.

So all in all I don't know why his critics insist on casting aspersions.

[richardt]

Until anyone has any proof that a fighter is on steroids, then there is no point asserting it and let the fight have his dignity unless or until proven otherwise.
