Tells me nothing

from 16 to 23 anything can happen to a man’s body.

I played NCAA DI tennis, where PEDs of some shape or form are widespread, to the point where I pretty much think every college and pro athlete is doing something they shouldn’t.

But we’ve got nothing on Pacman, and his weight change from 16-30 doesn’t indicate anything untoward to me. I’m not saying he does or he doesn’t.

Looks similar to my weight progression, though at an overall higher base of 150 lbs.

It all depends on how I work out.

And hey, I have giant legs too!

I have a strong feeling that this will go just like Lance. He is too good, impossibly good at what he does, so he must be doping somehow.

There will never be any proof that he isn’t doing it, because you can’t prove the negative.

Some people’s bodies naturally produce enzymes & cell signals at levels that most people can’t reach without using illegal (or legal & unethical ala Russia) substances.

The fact often is, these people were born gifted with a body that is beyond the norm.

Did they dope? They may have.

Do we all gather around the student who gets high scores on tests (the same student who always studies hard and is dedicated) and accuse them of cheating just because no one could possibly do that well?

Did they cheat? They may have.

Should unusually great human endeavor be met with rote accusations of cheating in whatever form, though not the absolutely slightest proof exists?

It’s worth noting that you’re just listing the official weight divisions he fought at, not his actual weights, which could be a little misleading.

For instance, when you say “2008 -135 lbs” your forgetting that Pacquiao actually stated 2008 by rematching Marquez at 130lbs. But he walked into the ring that night at 147lbs. That’s a 17 pound cut, which is insanely risky. It’s clear that by 2008 he wasn’t naturally a 130lb fighter or anything close to it. He was basically a natural lightweight or junior welterweight who was cutting his own throat to get in a fight. I think that 135-140 has been Manny’s natural range for several years now (and I think that’s truly Floyd’s natural range, too.)

Yeah, I basically grab these numbers from the weight limit sets for his fights.

Anyone know Pacquiao's weight..

when he walked into the ring on Nov 14th vs Cotto?

by jerranamo on Nov 19, 2009 2:04 PM EST reply actions  

Nope. Cotto hasn’t let himself be weighed by HBO for years now, and Roach probably figured what’s good for the goose was good for the gander.

Why is that, do you know?

Don’t know. I think maybe he just doesn’t like to be bothered before the fight. Some guys don’t like to be weighed on HBO’s scale, which only benefits HBO, really. It doesn’t help or hurt the fighters for me to know what they weigh on HBO’s unofficial scale. And it could just be a psychological thing.

Pacquiao- low 150’s at most, he was 148 against Oscar and I think he looked more filled out against Cotto, so maybe 152.
Cotto- last time I remember them weighing him unofficially was against Oktay Urkal and he was 159 lbs, so probably about the same against Pacman.
