"The one thing about Manny that does bother me is one that you didn’t bring up. He was NOT an advocate for extra testing until after Marquez kod him. I think that makes Manny hypocritical and should be talked about more. You can’t argue with times and dates in this. It’s not speculation or opinion. Until Manny was kod by a fighter who was suspected of PED use he didn’t take enough interest in VADA testing. As much as I respect Manny and his accomplishments I can’t give him a pass on that. As a public figure and politician he made a self serving move and he should have handled the testing better. That being said I still won’t go on a witch hunt and discredit his accomplishments. He was a HOF in my opinion before he ever moved to lightweight." - Breadman

Well said my brother!

You have a good point. He wasn't an advocate of testing, until he got knocked out.

I can't take credit for that statement, that was a direct quote from "Breadman."

Good mailbag. It's funny because I usually agree with Bread around 90% of the time, the difference is I actually feel like the Breadman is almost always spot on in assessing Manny.

[Porter's Dad]

Excellent stuff, as usual. Thanks.

if bread doesn't think 1200+ punches that Pacquiao threw against Clottey was suspicious..... then he is protecting him

bread, name 1 other fighter EVER, who leaped through 3 divisions in 9 months DOUBLING his punch output

people see what they want to see, and bread is no different
