Weight Gain: De Le Hoya vs Pac

[blegit]

Floyd pretty much stopped knocking people out when he went north of 130. Manny moved up to 130 and beyond and his KO percentage improved and he's now beating up elite welterweights.

Because Pac is just that good.

Simultaneously ruling 126, 135 and 147 is more astonishing but somebody has done it before.


IF he's bloating in betweein fights training 2 hrs per day and drinking as opten as he want then we might wonder...but he's not. He trains like an animal way way beyond normal compared to other fighters.


There's a logical explanation on why he's performing this way and its not based on speculation.

Al Bernstein recently wrote. “Manny Pacquiao is one of the hardest working and most disciplined fighters in the sport. Manny Pacquiao’s success as he moved up in weight has been fueled mostly by a change in style and tactics rather than added strength. One of the most astonishing things to me is the folks who somehow believe that all of a sudden it’s reasonable to assume that Pacquiao, above all other boxers, needs a special set of testing rules to participate in a big fight. No performance enhancing drugs can change your technique. It was not power that made the difference. The difference was speed, ring generalship, combination punching, and a vastly improved defense.”

-From Thomas Hauser article

By stating these things this only aids people's speculations. His trainer saying Pac has gotten stronger and faster has he moved up. His trainer even suggested so stupidly that Pac doesn't even know what he is giving him. This completely contradicts what Freddie Roach said in that Pac has trouble even accepting a multivitamin from him. Stating Pac is able to workout like an animal harder than anyone. This is actually one of the things PEDs help you do to surpass what is normal. You're able to workout much longer, harder, and recover quicker. Statements like these aren't helping Pac. Pac's team has said some very irresponsible and/or contradicting things. His team has hurt his cause a lot also.
