Did Marquez take Steroids for the Last Pacquiao Fight?

[justaguy]

Pac's momentum carried him into the punch. Perfect storm. Steroids or no steriods, that was a night-night punch, so the punch and the KO standing alone should not drive anyone to say that Marquez was using.

Exactly. It actually makes my blood boil a bit when people refer to it as a lucky because the assertion if you actually follow the sport is so fundamentally ridiculous. I mean seriously connect the dots. What I have to start doing is questioning my own sanity for continuing to point that out. Its like in order for that to happen to Manny there had to be something up. There is no fighting that kind of worship.

everyone seems to forget the first knockdown, it was scary power, that marquez NEVER carried

I didn't forget it... I actually referenced it. I also noticed that Marquez was more flat-footed early in the fight and appeared to me to be really cranking some of his punches in a different way than I had seen him in the past. The first knockdown was more surprising in terms of how it was done than the KO blow, though - I will give you that.
