Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Must Look in Mirror When Blaming People for Loss to Horn

[No Tomorrow]

Strangely, it's as if they don't want to acknowledge the role PEDS played in his career. Is it not ironic he hasn't had a KO since 2009, the same year he was accused of being on PEDS and asked to take the test

No, because follow his opponents from the last stoppage :

Clottey : Iron Chin + Survival High Guard
Margarito : Iron Chin + Beaten the **** Out Of and Permanently Damaged
Mosley : Iron Chin and was KD'd
JMM : He's knocked him down what? 6 times in the 4 fights? Marquez has great recuperate abilities.
Bradley : Good chin, Unbelievable Heart and Recovery. Was KD'd multiple times.
Rios : Iron Chin.
Mayweather Jr. : Good chin, very good recuperate abilities.

So I can see why some one might think that, but when Pacquiao went on that little tear of : DLH, Hatton, Cotto. DLH was severely weight drained, Hatton couldn't control his out of his ring bad habits and Cotto has always shown a vulnerable chin.

I don't doubt that there was something special in those Ariza shakes, but I think there needs to be context on why lack of stoppages since Cotto.

What about the most obvious reason the fight was lost and not mentioned in this article. Manny gave the first half of the fight away. He did next to nothing and looked terrible until pulling himself together in the second half.

Either Pac didn't want to fight Mayweather or he was on something because he ducked those tests hard. He was hiding something.

You make a good point about his opposition

My gut tells me him and Floyd were on ****, but Pac even moreso

Pacman was taking the power PED's while Mayweather was on those stamina steroids

Exactly. Finally someone has said it. Manny can blame no-one but himself.

Floyd "took the test" for years and has a long history of clean results from USADA.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything to me.
