who else thinks he was on roids that of course wont pop on a urine test?
I mean his age is the big factor. At 40 years old you just aren't supposed to all of a sudden get ripped and become a KO artist when you haven't had that kind of power your entire career. Having a strength coach associated with roids definitely doesn't help. Walks like a duck, talks like a duck and all that.
Call me crazy but hasn't Pacquiao fought and won at many different weight class levels, putting on many many pounds to do so, and has never lost any of his power? Isn't that what everyone says about him matching up well with Mayweather; that he has not only the speed but the power to knock Mayweather out?
At this point, if anyone thinks it's crazy to think ANY athlete is on some sort of performance enhancing drugs, then you're just as gullible as the people who refuse to believe any of them are.

Manny was boxing since he was 17, and is now 33,when I was 17 I was about 145, and I'm 205 now at age 27, he gradually moved up, Marquez got huge and ripped overnight, and all of a sudden had knockout artist power he has never had during his career and he is pushing 40. There is a difference.
I'm just saying, it's one thing to gain weight and it's another to keep winning at different weight classes, and seeing as he's the only boxer to ever win titles in 8 different classes, he's either one of the greatest and most talented boxers to ever live--or he's taken something in his career. In this day and age, it's usually the latter, unfortunately.
Manny P. just didn't see that right hook. It happens. He was doing pretty well in the fight until that hook. But to be honest he hasn't looked great in his last three fights. If his heart isn't in it anymore, then he is done.

Basically this as well. It's part of the sport, you're always just one good hit away from going from winning 11 rounds to being knocked out cold. Not to say Marquez wasn't on anything, I'm sure he was. But I'm also sure most of the boxers out there are, as are most athletes out there.

Yes he got caught, with a nasty punch, but Marquez was for sure on something, people all over boxing world aren't speculating because he knocked him out, they are because of what they saw at weigh in
