First of all, let me just say that I'm a Mayweather fan. He's actually the one who got me to follow boxing and transformed me from a casual to a hardcore fan. So I may be partial.
But yes, I did have my su****ions about him and PEDs. These doubts were triggered when I noticed changes to his jawline and muscle definition when he fought Marquez.
However, I also do believe that he was clean for the most part of his career and that he was clean when the Pacquiao talks started. However, everybody in the industry knew what was going on with Pacquiao. He polluted the division and was a difficult problem to deal with.
First, Mayweather was the one who tried to implement Olympic style testing. He's actually one of the people responsible for what we have today. I don't think that would be logical for someone who's dirty to bring more attention to themselves.
But at some point, he had to realize that even with testing, Pacquiao would still be able to get away with it with the people backing him. So he and others were forced to make a decision. And they took the right one in my opinion. There was no way to catch Pacquiao and facing him clean was not only ******, but dangerous for their safety, record, legacy and profits. So they did what they had to do. In my opinion, there is no shame in cheating against a cheater.
What are your thoughts on the situation. Did you think Pacquiao was clean? And what is the proper course of action if a dirty and protected fighter is sitting on top of the division?
