He looked half his size in body weight
Without directly accusing Manny Pacquiao of using performance enhancing drugs, we have to say his body did look “flushed” out from whatever was diluting it in his prime years of the ring. This held back the fight in 2009 when both fighters took the initial jump Welterweight to 147 weight class. Top Rank declined to have Manny provide proper blood work, before, during and after the fight – which prompted the May 2nd event from happening.
Floyd can also be the blame, like many have said for allegedly running away from the fight and obviously taking a bigger slice of the earnings before HBO finally stopped caring last year. Pacman’s weight was just too much of a decline for even former fighters to take notice and subliminally state the obvious. Although he looked slower in comparison to his fights from 3 years ago before the back-to-back losses, Manny was still able to have mobility in the ring but was far less versatile than he would’ve been last decade when he wanted the fight.
