    Thanks Bean-Man,

    Ben Villaflor had major problems with his left-wrist, and right-hand.

    He also suffered a 'detached retina' in his right-eye on March 13, 1975 in his
    WBA Super-Featherweight Title defense with Hyun-Chi Kim in The Philippines.

    Ben caught a thumb in the right-eye, and went blind for 5-days.

    Saensak Muangsurin

    'The Shadow of the Devil'

    Great southpaw Light-Welterweight out of Thailand.

    Won the WBC Light-Welterweight Championship in only his 3rd-bout.

    Had a record of 2-0-0 {2 KO's}, and only 8-Rounds of 'conventional' Boxing ring experience
    when he fought and defeated {KO 8} WBC Champion - Perico Fernandez on July 15, 1975

    Unfortunately suffered a 'bad' injury to his right-eye in 'back-to-back' Title Defenses on
    December 30, 1977 against Jo Kimpuani, and April 8, 1978 against Francisco Moreno.

    Was never the same, as he fought with only one good-eye {left-eye]. He could not see
    out of his right-eye from mid-1978 and on.

    Was supposed to defend his Title against Esteban Dejesus in September 1978, but he
    had to undergo a 2nd eye operation and had to postpone the bout.

    I think the key is definitely steroids. Manny and Galaxy were definitely on the juice and they are the two greatest.

    How can you say Galaxy was on drugs? Stop making this stuff up.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    He was massive, cut like a body builder and fought in the steroid era. I'm just speculating but if I had to guess, I would say he was using something.

    Most I can do is speculate as well..maybe PED that allowed Pac to train harder? But as far as for power/muscles- his start at such a small weight simply denies that type of use. Pac was starching fighters since day one.

    Yeah definitely that's the big advantage for steroids, being able to train harder longer and staying at your best longer.

    Also holding onto muscle mass and keeping testosterone levels high during crazy exertion!
