From being a 120 pounder in 2002, Pacquiao came a long way in boxing. He defeated Jorge Julio in the junior featherweight division in Memphis. The main event was the mega fight between Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis.
Ever since that first victory, Pacquiao won 16 more fights, scored an additional 12 knockouts and claimed less than a dozen world titles in four different weight divisions.
His weight unbelievably increased by nearly 25 pounds more, his popularity in boxing had risen to another point and his recent victory over Miguel Cotto only proves that Manny Pacquiao is one of the most famous names in boxing.
As Pacquiao’s weight becomes heavier, his strength becoming stronger and his muscles getting bigger, people would naturally suspect that he is into something illegal.
Just like what Floyd Mayweather Sr. accused him a few months ago, that Pacquiao was on steroids and human growth hormone.
According to Mayweather Sr., if it were he, he would not fight Pacquiao because there is just something about Pacquiao that is not right.
Pacquiao, however, along with all the players in the Saturday fight were tested for the presence of banned substances, including hundreds of performance enhancing drugs. The results would be available after 10 days.
From News Day:
“It’s a shame but whenever a guy’s successful, people get jealous and try to come up with reasons to knock it down,” Roach said. “Manny don’t need no steroids. He doesn’t even know what they are.”
