'Roids' - now it's Jeff Mayweather's turn - what's their problem?

[El Kabong]

I think with someone like Pacquiao who started out at 107 and then had his last fight at 140 where he demolished the top fighter at that weight class...I think it shocks and surprises people to the point where they think it's like a magic trick or something so they ask "How did he really do that?" ergo they accuse him of cheating because it's the only plausable way that he could have accomplished that.

....problem is, sometimes 'they' (the doubters) are right, look at Antonio Margarito. I'm not saying Pacquiao is like him or anything, but no one thought Margarito was dirty until evidence came out that he was dirty.

I do wonder why nobody has thought that Floyd cheats though Maybe Floyd is the one using roids Maybe he has done some shady things with his hands as they used to be brittle as hell and he'd break them all the time and recently he hasn't had any trouble with them....

Just trying to prove that type of doubting can go both ways

Lyle, the problem is...modern designer drugs are near impossible to detect with conventional tests (urine, blood). The drugs are WAY ahead of the testing. For example...we are lead to believe that something like HGH just came onto the scene in recent years. IN FACT...body builders back in the 1970's where experimenting with HGH!! As i mentioned before...some of these new drugs can only be detected through muscle biopsy...good luck having anyone enforce that kind of testing right now. This is just a reality of modern day sports. If an athlete is smart and has access to the newest drugs...it will be damn near impossible catching him/her with current testing. So who really knows who is clean and who is not? We just assume that are favorite athletes have the right morals and ethics to be clean...and some probably are...but who really knows.

And I'm saying that's always been the case.....all you Pac fans should be honored that people think he's doing something because he has been so impressive that's the only rational way people like the Mayweather's can believe what he has done

Manny Pacquiao has come out in print to pursue dafamation charges against Mr. Mayweather once his schedule clears up. He did not want to address the issue legally right now, for it surely will prove detrimental in his ongoing preparations for his fight against Miguel Cotto.

Likewise, it is clear that it is important to Manny that his name shall not be tainted and associated with anything but, and only of the good, and of things above the table. He has been consistent all these years regarding that.

And as of late, he has even kept activities and courses on self-improvement, all in preparation to a life outside the square ring.

I don't see Mr. Mayweather, nor his wayward mouth a part in any of this. Reason enough, to set in motion the filing of defamation charges to sever whatever it is that ties Manny with this punster.
