Pac having blood taken 20 days before the Clottey fight..

[killersheep]

It may be absurd to a number of people but there are some who truly believe it.

Here's a video from an interview of Manny taken sometime in 2005 after the first Erik Morales fight.

But to be fair, in regards to the video, he did lose that fight. What do you expect him to say?

Pacquiao & his people have a history of relying on excuses after they don't get the outcome they wanted. Remember the "wrong kind of socks" fiasco after the first JMM fight?

I'm not saying it didn't make him weak & that was the reason he lost the fight to Morales. I'm just raising the question would he have said all this if he had won that fight? Would the blood tests have been an issue if he had won?

Your statement implies the possibility that it may have made him weak. That is what I was trying to say in this forum all along, that there are a lot of speculations and possibilities with regards to the Pacquiao-Mayweather fiasco nor in any other fights. As boxing fans, we owe it to the boxers to at least give them the benefit of the doubt in the absence of credible evidence. They put their lives at risk for our entertainment. (I will jump ahead of myself and comment on those thinking that they get paid millions anyway. A select few of them do but they deserved it. However, they all started from the bottom.).

This forum will be a harmonious place if we just all agree. But then again, it will also make it boring.

I rest my case.

That case and the test he just had for Clottey are more invasive than the one Mayweather was requiring. And by saying there is a possibility it weakened him you must also admit there is a possibility it didn't and Morales was simply in fact the better man that night.

Damit I didn't mean to get sucked back into this, disregard..............

For me, Morales was the better man that night. I highlighted that statement to consider the possibility that the 'weaken me' excuse for the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight may actually be valid (even though it may be erroneous).

Damit also, I already said that I rest my case .............
