How I feel when face to face with a Pactard. It's always the same....
Legal or illegal so what? lol, that's the entire point! Legal = you're allowed to do it, illegal = you're not allowed and you're a cheater.
Drugs should be banned full stop? Okay, does that include medicine? If Floyd or Manny take an antibiotic to clear up an infection, is that not also a performance enhancer? So if one of them catches the flu, they shouldn't be allowed to take something for that so they can get back to training? You're being ridiculous. Bottom line, substances are either illegal or legal. If you're taking something that's perfectly legal, what's the problem? Your gripe isn't with Mayweather, it should be with the commission for allowing it.
Also, I have to laugh at anyone here who's talking about an "even playing field". There's no truly even playing field that exists in life and certainly not in sport: everyone is born with advantages and disadvantages. Klitschko was blessed to be 6'6'' and an athletic specimen: everything else equal, how is the playing field ever going to be even for him and, let's say, Andy Ruiz or Chris Arreola?
How is a fight like Manny vs Algieri or Floyd vs Maidana going to be on an even playing field when both Pac and Floyd have MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars to invest in a training camp that Algeiri and Maidana did not. For this fight, Floyd is paying a private chef $1000 PER MEAL, and she's on constant stand by for him. He has businesses waiting on him hand and foot, anxiously awaiting his call any time of the day or night. How is that an even playing field? Come on. You Pac fans are ridiculous.

What I imagine a guy named Ruthless Rocco does for a day job.
I should just delete this thread but it got funny.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I have to say that you are displaying an elitist attitude, the likes of which I hope will become thoroughly annihilated in the revolutions of the coming years. It should be a level playing field and we should do everything we can to get the matchups and clean fighters we can. Don't make excuses for a fighter taking drugs to gain an advantage. Floyd has been very lucky to get away with it. Fighters all have the ability to train hard and eat a healthy meal. You get the same nutrition from a thousand dollars as you do 30 dollars. That is just an elitist attitude and the great equaliser in the end is always age. An expensive camp isn't going to save Floyd just as wealth will not protect you from the mob.
My point about legal and illegal is that it is a randomly imposed element. Law does not equate with right and wrong. Law has little to do with ethics and everything to do with protecting the elite scoundrels and ironically, we find the richest man in boxing got away with using performance enhancing drugs. Why not just let fighters take whatever substances they like at all times then? Or else get serious about it as boxing is not a game? I think the latter option is a more logical one. Just because Floyd got away with it and it was 'legal' does not make it right. Again, it is a horrible elitist sense of values that seeps through. You seem to think it right because the rules were twisted in his favour. In that respect it is you that completely missed my point.
Miles you're a stupid idiot.
Rocco, you sound like a man on death row who hasnt come to terms with things. I understand this fight is causing you immense stress and strain. Confess and repent and your soul may well be saved. Mayweather belongs in the past and so does all the name calling. With loss we can grow even more as people. You are in our thoughts, Rocco.
Gandolf you are a jive-ass motha!
Just accept Floyd as your new overlord and move on.

One of the many myths about Gandalf is that he is unstable, but within is a sea of emerging tranquility and wisdom and upon all the Mayweather carpet baggers shall fall humility and grace. Stability is the return to morality and norms. Pacquiao is part of the revolution. Greed, selfishness, and arrogance has had its day and in the age of revolution, though no man is perfect, we should all aspire to be better people. I shall welcome Corvette, Beanflicker, and Ruthless Rocco into the renewed and inspired Baggins Clan of Peace. All in good time, my dear chaps. All in good time.
