Good post. Everybody is the sport could be looked at with a cynical lens I agree but in Manny's case there are some real differences in the result of his metamorphism.

Nobody in 150 years with some eras being brutal ever came close to doing what Manny has done. Not Fitzy, Armstrong, Carpentier, Robinson, Floyd or any other atg. Not even close. Nobody in 150 years has ever had their power, speed and reflexes increase exponentially like it did with Manny. Highly suspect if one thinks about it or maybe his peds were simply better. He didn't just beat guys moving up, he destroyed them and elite guys. To me the reasoning is both inductive and deductive. Either way I seem to arrive at the same conclusion. No way in hell did he fight clean.
