The Ring magazine June cover

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I just picked up the new issue of The Ring magazine. The cover is absurd and only adds to the "myth" that Manny Pacquiao is a user and abuser.

I cannot find a link to it, so please post one in the thread, someone.

err how does the cover do that?

When I first glanced at it I thought it was MuscleMag International. Not really, but only becasue I can read.

Is that a professional boxer or the Son Of The Incredible Hulk movie poster? What the hell is he meant to be doing in that picture?

When real men sweat the sweat jumps right off of them.

i agree with missey that picture doesnt prove anything about steroids tbh it proves he has a good nutritionist, he doesnt have thick skin and a bodytype that doesnt retain much water, also a black and white picture tends to make a small ripped physique look much more impressive than it is in person, i have seen pictures that make me think about it however this is not one of them, he is quite big for a phillipino (excuse my spelling) but he could just have good genetics to hold a lot of mass and its hard to disprove this from looking at the pictures ive seen of him, some people just look at weights and blow up some struggle to develop any mass whatsoever thats genetics, and yes that is a bruce lee pose if ive ever seen one, i used to have a mirror with the picture of bruce with the chucks on it.

I was fully expecting Nonito Donaire on the cover.

Proves nothing but I see where you're coming from! (of course you didn't say it proved anything anyway, just that it added to the myth) - that's probably airbrushed to shit too as magazines tend to do these days.

Remember though, PEDs (I promise not to use that buzz word again!) don't neccesarily have an outward manifestation. EPO for example just gives you fantastic stamina by raising your red blood cell count!

That's the same thing blood doping does, right?

Looks to me like he too needs to poop.

[WayneFlint]

lol, it also looks like its going to be an awkward one, judging by the sweat and use of neck strength

Yeah, exactly - Athletes use EPO to "dope" their blood if you will.

They used to do it a lot more primatively before though! Draw it out and store it for a few weeks so that the blood would be replaced by the body and then put the stored blood back in before an event!

Forget Pac man Bruce Lee looks ripped.

Sorry, it came out sideways.

The best article in the mag is about Evander Holyfield.

The double standard article? That's actually the first one I read. I actually enjoyed this issue where as many of them I feel they're just re-capping shit I saw 3 months ago.

The poop?
