Comments Thread For: Merchant Gives His Take on Mayweather IV Scandal

[louvega]

Larry Merchant just slapped that cheater's face with the truth.

[Rath]

Stirvirne was hospitalised for two days coz of dehydration after the wilder fight and the reason cited was overtraining in the medical report, unless you actually believe that a heavyweight got dehydrated because of cutting weight, which would be just plain ridiculous.

Anyway, point is, cuttijg weigh ain't the only reason a sportsman can get dehydration, the re is actually a long list of reasons. Is it not feasible that Floyd could have overtrained? Wasn't everyone making fun of him in the build up for overhauling his whole training regiment for pacquiao, chopping wood and doing under water training and ish, **** he never done before or ain't done since his early pro days? Yes, there is no way you could have missed all those articles about that in the buildup, in fact, most of those articles went on bwt how changing regimen at that age could backfire on Floyd, but when it appears to have done exactly that, people jump to the worst case scenario and forget what they said.

you sound like scipio

Overtraining is a very legit reason for possible dehydration, especially when you're 38 years old, remember Floyd carries a water bottle with him everywhere he goes and even during his press conferences, he sometimes has to stop 2-3 times during a 10 minute speech to drink water, and that's even before fights, sometimes his voice gets hoarse also because of it, this is just the nature of his body.

I remember once on an HBO broadcast a fighter didn't gain weight after the weigh in and they asked George Foreman why would that happen, he said it used to happen to him cuz of anxiety before fights, u get to anxious and u make a lot of trips to the bathroom and u lose fluids, this used to happen to me personally before exams but of course I'm not a 38 year old who's been training his ass off for like 10 weeks.

Plus who published the article and when he published it is what makes me doubtful about the truth of it, this is an HBO employee publishing an article to mess up the PPV numbers of their rival network only 2 days before the 2nd PPV event they had this year, why should I assume that he's telling the truth, especially when the NSAC and USADA themselves said that no wrongdoing has happened?

hmmmm

Do people in their hearts really believe Floyd was on peds or do they just hope and pray so that they have more reason to dislike him?

He sounds like someone that makes perfect sense, if u can counter it then do it, if u can't then shut up.

Floyd and Ellerbe was on video when they claimed Floyd was dehydrated because of blood testing.

did not heard them saying over training was the cause.

now you shut up.

[Mukuro]

Go change your diapers Larry and leave boxing alone. I never wished death upon anyone but damn, this motherfücker lived way longer than he should've.

Larry contributed more to boxing than Floyd. Larry is the real TBE

[BrometheusBob.]

All I know is that if one of Floyd's opponents had been caught IVing crap into his system, Floyd would have never shut up about it.

So it's only fair if people want to sound in, and keep doing so.

Truth being spoken here
