PREACH PAULIE

[diarraisagod]

Lol as if you can really take any sporting achievement from the past 15 years without having doubts, maybe longer. Boxing testing is still nowhere near where it needs to be considered a clean sport. I mean Lance Amstrong was juicing how many years ago? Think how much the science has moved on since then!

Sports that aren't being stringently tested are more than likely being exploited by cheats, boxing included. Even those that are, it's hard to imagine that somebody isn't beating the system with modern science.

This video says it all. go to 1:30. Pac roided.

Thanks for that! What really bothers me is that the people who question Manny are the ones called haters, when here's a guy saying he lost to Morales because of a blood test the day of the fight....BULL****! Plus he's saying he can't give blood 15 days before a fight because he's in training, then last but not least, his own trainer says Ariza was giving him shakes everyday and wouldn't tell him (Freddie Roach) what was in the shakes...and Paulie is the hater for having su****ions? I don't know if Manny was a cheat, but he caused the su****ion. Arum made it worse by saying he's "scared of needles, etc." You can't say things like he said in the video, and not be called SUSPECT. And if I have my doubts because of the things you say (Manny, Roach, Arum) I shouldn't be called a hater.

Yeah sure. Why don't you bring up the other fighters who destroyed others at the top level, including Floyd. Random testing isn't the be-all end-all for elite athletes, especially when you have hush-hush clauses behind the scenes. Open your eyes, it's an even playing field.

Floyd and pac have agreed in the money front of the contract but fight didn't happen because pac is "afraid of needles" Floyd always said drug testing, pac was the one who refused. Ironically enough, after JMM KO'D cold, he demands drug testing on all future fights. Wow getting KOd the F out helps you get rid of phobias!

PREACH PAULIE

Amen.. I'm a Pac fan, but I'm also unbiased. Truth is truth

[Bronx2245]

Something about a 40 stitch cut that needed 8 months to heal and an outdoor stadium.

Why do all Manny fans keep forgetting this? Arum kept coming up with excuses even after the testing issue died. The cuts, the stadium, he can't fight in May, etc. If I was Floyd I would hate Arum too!

[MC Hammer]

And what excuse followed suite when Pacquiao agreed to testing?

I think Pac hung up the phone on him after that

[CubanBox]

As usual this bum is running his mouth about a far superior fighter. I'm not surprised really. Paulie can't get over the fact that Manny beat the two guys that whooped his ass.

Living in New York, i can tell you from experience that Italians in general are a very jealous people.

[PunchyPotorff]

I think Paulie's off base here. Pac doesn't finish guys off now for several reasons... he doesn't wanna run risk anymore of getting caught like he did vs JMM, and then also, he's deep into his religious beliefs now, and doesn't really want to stop anyone, AND... the power seems to decrease the higher weight division the fighter moves up to. Or has Paulie forgotten that. . And look at BHop. He doesn't stop guys anymore, nor does Floydie outside of that cheap shot he took at Ortiz, and the list goes on. AND Pac was one of the first to be asked to test. Anyway, usually I like Paulie. He does a good solid job at commentating, but here he's just sounds p.o.'d and wants to rant about something without thinking it over first.

[Teetotaler]

People just hate pacman too much. Look at all the people he fought since he started drug testing: marquez, rios n Bradley! Those guys have never been ko'd. So I don't blame manny for not knocking them unconscious like we're used to.
