However, I am about 90% sure he used HGH, EPO, cortisone and possibly methamphetamine.
He may have used steroids as well at some point.
The Pacquiao-Cotto fight is one of the most amazing displays of cheating I have ever seen. Of course, a sports fan views this differently; elite sports is where amazing happens.
Unfortunately it's not real. That fight reminded me of Floyd Landis cinching the Tour De France stage in a super human feat a day after being left in the dust.
He took a near-lethal shot of dope, shot up through those mountains like the Roadrunner and beat everyone.
That's what it looked like to me.
Like Victor Conte says -- who knows a thing or two about this combination of dope (he fueled Shane Mosley, after all) -- we should all be wary of guys who suddenly ****e in performance after lengthy periods of stagnation.
If you also consider the fact his dramatic increase in performance -- as well as others' -- correlated with the new training led by a guy known in boxing circles to provide his boxers with EPO with a sudden decline the moment said trainer leaves, it's really not hard to put together the pieces.
Added to all this damning information, consider the facts that this guy 1) ran from the tests and sued -- a common tactic by doping cheaters, 2) requested testing the moment said trainer showed up in the opposite corner and 3) while still having his trademark explosive skill, suddenly looked human; he fatigued, he was no longer impervious to pain and his punches failed to dent a guy coming from lightweight when he would previously leave permanent damage on junior middleweights.
(And Lance Armstrong was never caught, either, by the way.)
All things considered, if one can't see what's going on, it's hard to argue that one is being objective.
