Floyd Mayweather on "Special Substance"

[Showtime..]

Talk about a Floyd circle-jerk fest in this thread.

Hold your heads high on a victory 6 years too late to matter.

[mathed]

how convenient, USADA just changed their policy on this today

fighters can no longer use IVs to rehydrate after the weigh-in

floyd mayweather and memo heredia the last fighter/chemist team to exploit this loophole. smh

for any rational person, this is THE nail in the coffin for this argument

And you may***8230; I don***8217;t know how closely you***8217;ve followed our investigation into cycling, but you saw it used a lot in cycling. Because, putting a bag of saline over 50 ml, for example is the rule, would potentially mask or alter the blood testing that was done. And there were examples in there where athletes would put a bag of saline in their arm when they saw the blood collectors coming to collect their blood. And they just delayed reporting for 15 min. So, that was really the purpose behind the rule

Well how about that? LOL...."You are just a Pactard doe!"...nah, just calling out a cheater when I see one.

I'm not a fan of Floyds personality, but he's not on anything, he's clean.

Dunno about that. I'm a Floyd fan, but I'd never say with 100% certainty that any athlete is clean.

With all the controversy surrounding Pacquiao's use of salt water, I couldn't help but be reminded of Floyd and his use of salt water (aka saline water) to rehydrate a meager 2 lbs. I understand that Floyd's decision to use the salt water has far more serious implications than Pacquiao, but both have caused a similar uproar throughout the boxing community, nevertheless.

The question still remains — why would Floyd need not one, but two bags of saline water (aka salt water) to rehydrate from 147 lbs to 149 lbs? I can think of two logical explanations that would justify such extreme measures to gain a meager 2 lbs.

1.) His true weight is being concealed to mislead the fans and help perpetuate a false image.

2.) He's using the saline water to mask potential PED usage.

What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?

yes, exactly

Floyd is intimately aware of the benefits of salt water

i dont understand why his fans are laugh at a therapy he believes in.!!!

he believes in it so much that he will literally inject salt water into his body/

manny, on the other hand,, is simply doing what billions have done through the course of human history------

which is set out on a journey to seek healing and therapy from the power and majesty of the sea .
one glance at the literature of our ancestors will attest to these facts


now, seeing that we have established both believe in salt water, i follow up ironfists questions to also ask:

which therapy sounds more the natural of the two:

swimming to heal? or injecting yourself?

[Real King Kong]

Has anyone ever been given an iv for rehydration? Thats whats in them.

[ElMeroChingon]

Re-hydration purposes?

Why does Mayweather even need that?, he makes weight easy, one of the only guys who stays at his "walk around" weight ?


Just makes you wonder.

What do you guys think?

I think you are way too invested in Manny & Floyd bs.

1)Idk that anyone gives a damn about true weight except some small percentage of boxing nerds so it seems like a lot of work for a few boxing nerds.

2)Is the saline water commissions okay for fighters (or used to anyway I heard thats changing soon) a PED masking agent?

[Jc8804]

Yeah i read about 3 articles stating that floyd used .

Imo it sucks. He should have been denied .

Doesnt surprise me floyd cheated. Nevada and usada back hin up with the amount of money he brings in.

Tmt fans will deny or ignore.
TBE my arce. I wouldnt even go as far as saying ATG. Imo floyd is a Hall of famer ... one who never beat a Prime
A fighter. Not 1
