Where then did the suspicion of PED use came from?
And to answer eagle's question, just because Manny was filmed taking the blood test, that doesn't necessarily mean that he liked it. It was required of him by the boxing commission.
Oh so now he gave up 40 million cos he 'didnt like' blood tests? So that dont seem at all suspicious in anyway to you?
You can also turn your statement around and say that Floyd gave up on 40 million cos he didn't like Manny wanting for the blood test to be taken 24 days before the fight. He gave up on the 40 million because of the 10 days difference (24 days vs 14 days). And I have already answered your second question when I wrote a few comments back that "The refusal to accede to the demand also placed Manny under suspicion".

Now my question to you eagle is: Are you one of the posters who does not believe Manny has an impressive accomplishment? If you are, then I am just curious as to what your take is on my question above. If you are not, then that question is not for you.

And miron_lang, that's a nice list that you have but I won't put David Diaz in there. I would consider Pacquiao's win over dela Hoya as more spectacular than that. Although people would say that Oscar was a shell of himself and weight drained, Manny jumped 2 weight divisions and was a heavy underdog when he faced him. Whether it's worthy to be placed in that list is debatable.
