Comments Thread For: Hopkins Feels Pacquiao's Big Power No Longer There

The fact remains Pacquiao did take the test, twice now. He has never failed a test in his career, unlike a certain other fighter who is rumored to have failed three times and whose camp has dirty test after dirty test.

Pacquiao has only done VADA testing one time. He didn't use them for the second Bradley fight.

And this stricter drug testing didn't happen until the tail end of his career so it's a case of too little, too late unfortunately. The questions people had about him being clean during his prime will always be there.

If you have proof that Floyd failed 3 times go ahead and post a link. I'd love to see it because so far I've come across nothing but rumors with zero evidence.

I think he had both.

Speed kills. Pacquiao had speed in abundance. That's deteriorating now.

People also forget that once Pacquiao stepped up to 147, he's only stopped a dead guy (DLH) and a drained guy (Cotto). Everybody else has taken him the distance. Below 147, Pacquiao was a wrecking ball.

I wouldn't take this as gospel. Roach is not the smartest dude and he seems obsessed with making Ariza look bad (and vice versa). He's trying to pin the failed drug test blame on Ariza and ruin Ariza, but in doing so is implicating Pacquiao - but Roach is too dumb to realise this. I doubt what he's saying here is 100% true, he just desparate for Ariza to take the fall for Rios.

Maybe, maybe not. Manny fans can't have it both ways though. You can't say it's ok to question Marquez when Freddie is saying Ariza was giving unknown **** to Manny. They also can't be mad at Floyd for asking for testing, when Roach is making statements like these.

Three names that black men simply cannot deal with. Rocky Marciano, John Holmes, Manny Pacquiao.

Hopkins, I know your blowing Fraud Jr. all a sudden but why not question him instead? Ask him why he failed drugs tests and Pacquiao has yet to? Oops.
