Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Drug Tested Pacquiao Wasn't Very Scary

[IR0NFIST]

The first picture was taken nearly 20 years ago, it's common knowledge that the human body undergoes a rapid growth spurt throughout the adolescent years; if you payed attention in school you would have learned this. For the sake of closure, I'm going to assume that you haven't gone through puberty yet.

Floyd underwent the same physical transformation. Was he on steroids as well?

Please, please, please boxing gods.........let Pac's return fight be against Malignaggi. I would actually pay to see Pac run him over and drop him a few times after being tested 8-10 times. This guy runs his mouth so much yet works with the most notorious PED peddler in the entire world, smh.

It no longer matters. Pacquiao is done, no need for any war of words to continue.

LMAO...nah man, this is NSB. "Pactards" and "Flomos" will forever roam these boards and "the war" will rage until eternity.

Fraud gave Bayless a reason to intervene when he blatantly pushed Pacquiao's head down. Which was one of the many underhanded tactics that Fraud resorted to in the fight.

You should probably stop using that word in reference to Floyd when #48 himself is getting sued for that very thing as a result of that abysmal performance he turned in a few weeks back.

Agree. Where there is smoke, there is often fire. If you factor in the kind of extreme poverty that Manny was running from, a magic needle and the promise of $$$$$ as a result of magic needle, is a no brainer for a guy who lived on the streets as a child. Poverty is the motivation here and I believe Manny went to the crossroads, met the devil who promised him riches and gave in to that promi$e.

Pac already had a high ko percentage before he came to america he's always had power. his fists are almost twice the size as mayweather

Cant believe people are still going on about this.

If anyone looked in great shape, it was Floyd, who looked the fastest i have seen him in quite a while.

I don't see how any of that is relevant. You know he asked for pain-killing shoulder injections pre-fight, why would he ask for them if his shoulder wasn't causing him pain? Surgery only confirms it. It's open and shut man, he was injured and it was causing him pain.

It's relevant because it's evidence that he wasn't injured pre-fight. And it also shows the lack of honesty. Top Rank claims he was injured, but Top Rank nor Team Pacquiao mentioned it pre-fight. Instead his form says he is NOT injured. Top Rank then claimed that they told USADA, and then USADA went on record saying this is also FALSE.

NSAC asked his physicians also whether or not it was necessary, and his very own physicians told NSAC no! If Pacquiao injured his shoulder, it would have happened during the fight. But pre-fight, he was fine. His physicians never mentioned an injury. Pacquiao himself never noted an injury... well, after he lost the fight he did.

[radioraheem]

I believe Raheem thinks he was requesting them for some other injury, not his shoulder (see below)

He's entitled to his opinion but I think it's fairly clear they were for his shoulder.

You at least acknowledge then that he may have had some pain, and without pain-killing injections he would have had to fight through it.

Yes, but the problem comes into play that no injury, no MRI's, no documentation exists for this injury pre-fight. NSAC said that went as far as talking with his physicians, and they too NEVER indicated no injury and affirmed that he did NOT need the medication to fight.

So while it may be possible Pacquiao may have been experiencing pain, what we do know is that it was nothing serious at the very least. And there is absolutely no evidence that he had been injured three weeks prior to fight night, not even from his own physicians that spoke to NSAC.
