Pacquiao vs Thurman

[Pavlik]

Manny did fantastic. Thurman still doesn’t seem to be what he was a few years ago. His quickness is still there but his speed is severely diminished. But that’s his problem not Manny’s. I thought Thurman fought a dumb fight but again, Thurman’s fault, not Manny’s. For once I am not attempting to diminish Manny. Just stating what I saw. And none of it diminishes Manny, he is a 40 year old man. Like has been said, besting a 30 year old undefeated career welter is impressive. Sure there was no VADA testing for some reason that we don’t know wink wink. But both were not tested so fair playing field. Fantastic career by Manny, first ballot hall of Famer and probably top 25 fighter of all time. Retire on this high, don’t get destroyed by Spence or Crawford.

You do realize that this article states he wasn’t in VADA’s testing program right? But rather the WBC’s testing program administered by VADA. I can find you articles explaining that the WBCs testing program spends about 40$ per fighter per month if you like, that’s about 1 basic test per fighter per month. If you want more detailed tests you get less. In short the WBCs testing program is a joke. Propping it up as evidence is only evidence of not knowing the WBCs program. Actually, I’ll take 1 minute and find you a video explaining this, it’s in the Whyte thread already

40$ per fighter per month, right in there for you. But if you think that’s the kind of money it takes to catch cheats making millions well, that’s adorable

Good point.
