Since it seems that I have the floor to MYSELF, let me expound on MY point….about 3 YEARS ago when Floyd shut Marquez OUT at Welter posters such as terror tim, E in Denver, Haimat, and Iron Beach ALL SAID that it was because Marquez was 36 yrs old and can’t perform at Welter because he moved UP too late in his career…. I TOLD them at THAT time that they were INCORRECT. I SAID that Marquez can’t perform vs. Floyd at Welter and neither can anyone ELSE…I also SAID that Marquez can perform vs ANY other Welter besides Mayweather and now the EXPERTS agree with ME as they now rate EVERY Welter besides Mayweather as LESSER than Marquez at Welter at 39 yrs old. I am the GREATEST Fight Prophet ever born!!!

OH and for those who don’t understand why Marquez is now a Top WW its not about where youvstart its about where you finish. Despite Pacquiao starting as a Flyweight he ended UP as a Top WW and Marquez beat him AT THAT weight while Pacquiao was still a Top WW. Therefore with that WIN Marquez became a Top WW.

As I was SAYING before SREDMOND stepped in and got SPANKED Marquez is Superior to Pacquiao in every way and Ring agrees with ME as they not only have Marquez ranked higher on the P4P list but also as a WW. Take notes from Hissydalgo and SREDMOND. Make sure you DO your research before debating with ME. SO you wont get caught with your pants down making FALSE statements such as “Marquez was on the P4P list every time Pacquiao fought him” or “beating Pacquiao ONE time doesn’t make you a Top WW” LMFAO!!

“trying to create a 4 fight plan to finally win”- Nope he had an each round plan and he WON the majority of the rounds but still got ROBBED. SO at the end of round 36 he changed UP the plan to knocking Manny the fcuk OUT and it worked…I’m not a Monday Morning Quarterback I’m a Superbowl Sunday Quarterback and I’m throwing TOUCHDOWNS!

“Marquez booking ONE win over Manny Pacquiao does not position him as a top WW fighter sorry” – Sorry for what? Your POOR logic?? Booking a WIN over the Top WW other than Mayweather DOES position Marquez as a Top WW what do you thonk Boxing was built on??? Just as Manny became a Top WW when he beat Cotto, and just as Ortiz became a Top WW when he beat Berto, and just as Leonard became a Top MW when he beat Hagler, and just as Martinez became a Top MW when he beat Pavlik, and just as Hopkins became a top LHW when he beat Tarver…(I could go on all day with this)…Marquez became a Top WW when he beat Pacquiao. The EXPERTS agree with ME on that as you can check the Ring rankings and see that Marquez is the 2nd rated WW on the World behind Mayweather.

Mayweather is P4P but you will not see him listed as a Champion outside of 154 and 147 currently…I am not going to bother trying to correct your proprietary definition of P4P, but suffice it to say you cannot be a Champion in a division that you do not even fight in…

Posted January 4, 2013 6:44 pm

Box you sound desperate, you are trying to create a 42 round fight which did NOT happen.. Each bout has to be judged on its own merit and despite winning rounds Pac was scoring points by putting Marquez on his seat a total of 5 times… This was NOT a Super 4 or Super 6, these guys NEVER even had to fight again and trying to create a scenario where Marquez had a 4 fight plan to finally win is CORNY and Monday Morning Quarterbacking at its finest. Manny was the better fighter, Marquez the better boxer and despite the win last Saturday, the better fighter has 2 wins and the better boxer has ONE no matter how devastating…

Being a terrific boxer yet unproven in higher divisions is just what it is… At his peak Calderon was awesome at 105 pounds but if you put him in with a guy at 130 he would have been murdered…I know I know, size does not matter but alas it does that is why EXTRA credit and respect is given to guys like Pac, Floyd, SRL, Hearns and Jones because being successful at higher weights is a prohibitive element…Moral to the story is the ONLY WW that Marquez EVER beat was a guy who started at Flyweight and he fought starting at 126 despite his (Pacs Greatness)

“trying to sell 3 LEARNING fights to win one is a POOR strategy given the money and stakes…”-Which is why I’m not selling that. What I’m selling is that Marquez Out Boxed Pacquiao for the majority of 36 rounds going into the 4th Fight before the 4th Fight culminating in a knockout. Just as Marquez WON the majority of the rounds vs Diaz and Katsidis but didnt necessarily beat them down before scoring the stoppage is the same way that he Out Boxed Pacquiao for the majority of 42 rounds before scoring the stoppage. Of course Pacquiao is a MUCH higher caliber opponent than Diaz and Katsidis SO it took longer to score the stoppage. But he got the job DONE. And now there’s nothing left to prove…Even Pacquiao’s most rabid supporters are calling for him to please not go for a knockout to match Marquez. Just go for another decision.

You are coming across like a waffler and despite Mayweathers excellence the number of divisions and the fights and fighters he beat made Manny the odds on favorite for the tite.

Divisions in boxing are VERY relevant that is why we have them other than that Mayweather would be the Champion of all from HW to Flyweight… Marquez booking ONE win over Manny Pacquiao does not position him as a top WW fighter sorry…He has not shown the ability to compete with ANY other fighter at the weight aside from Pac Man… His only other foray at the weight saw him lose EVERY single round to Floyd Mayweather whereas Pacquiao foe Cotto (Who Pac dominated) made a fight of it during competitive rounds…According to your thesis how could Cotto have a superior performance against Mayweather than Marquez who was laughable???? And trying to tell me their performances are viewed in the same light simply designates you as a fool..

And as far as Manny WINNING Fighter of the Decade by vote, NO VOTE can make 2+2=5. SO I didn’t need to see a vote for Fighter of the Decade. Floyd was rated higher on the P4P list for 8 YEARS to Pacquiao’s 2 and NO VOTE can change it. So I dont need to see a Vote for Fighter of the Decade. I can count for MYSELF.

Not only is Marquez CURRENTLY ranked higher P4P than Pacquiao’s previous foes above 140, he has ALWAYS been ranked higher than them on the P4P list. Also NEEDS any EXPERT at THIS point??? Not ME. I’ve already seen Marquez against Top WW competition. He out Boxed the Top WW other than Floyd and then knocked him out. Everyone other than Floyd is LESSER WW competition….Boxing is a Sport not a Division anyway. Saying that you’re a WW doesn’t make you BETTER than someone. We already witnessed that in Ortiz vs. Berto, Lopez vs. Ortiz, and Guerrero vs. Aydin. Being a BETTER Boxer makes you BETTER than someone. Marquez is the BETTER Boxer when compared to Manny’s previous WW opponents Manny Pacquiao agrees with ME on that.

Te Tumbo, Morales booked a points win then he was DESTROYED and sadly forced to quit on his seat in the last fight… The ultimate shame for a former warrior of a boxer.. Pac Man ended Morales run as an upper echelon fighter and turned him into a shell who was getting his bell rung by a guy like David Diaz discussing how the punches hurt so much… His later comebacks were admirable but El Terrible was snuffed by Manny Pacquiao…OF COURSE you have an excuse for Barrera who was then a P4P fighter who was the favorite when Pac Man trounced him and forced his corner to come in the ring and save him with tears in their eyes…. Sorry Tumbo, those fights happened and they are a matter of public record… You don’t hear me making excuses for Marquez whipping Mannys azzz cause that is NOT my style…

Te Tumbo “as far as YOU are concerned” does NOT equal victory so substituting YOUR opinion for official outcomes ONLY flys in your mind especially with CLOSE fights… The ledger stands at 2-1-1 with Pac Man having 2 wins and Marquez the marquis victory….Trying to use the “Chess Checkers” analogy is WEAK in lieu of the fact that NO ONE told or guaranteed Marquez 4 fights before he FINALLY claimed a victory… In essense you are saying that Marquez wanted to lose 2 and draw one so that 8 years later he could get a solid win? Nice dream, God Bless Marquez for getting his hardcore KO but alas he until he ACTUALLY won he did NO better than book a draw and that was 8 years ago..What Karma did Pac Man experience?? Beating Marquez? ODH, Margo, Barrera, Morales, Larios, Diaz, Cotto, Clottey??? Whats the Karma he did his job!

Posted January 4, 2013 4:52 pm

first of all REDMOND, Thanks for the target practice. allow me to proceed. “PULL!”: “why was Marquez UNABLE to clearly beat him”? as far as i’m concerned, Marquez DID clearly defeat Pacquiao* every time they fought and that is not only a “Mexican’s” opinion. unfortunately, too many fanboys and Arum judges were dazzled by the spectacle of KDs rather than the technical brilliance of Marquez’s sweet science. the same difference between checkers and chess. you are obviously a checkers fan. fortunately, the memory/nightmare of IV is the “clearest” outcome possible and has not only ENDED their rivalry but also Pacquiao’s* run at the top. “why did he end Barrera . . and ODH careers at the top?” the win v. Barrera was legit. although, there were legitimate and well-publicized pre-fight distractions that affected Barrera’s performance the costliest one was Barrera’s fault. he (along with EVERYone else) underestimated the unknown Pacquiao*. however, Barrera also went on to defeat the same Morales that subsequently and convincingly defeated Pacquiao*, i.e., “ending” is another one of your typical overstatements. “ODH”? really? the guy who was compelled to weigh-in at 145lbs from this established 145lbs and reportedly not allowed to weigh-in over 147lbs on fight-night? DLH also made the costly mistake of underestimating a very good and dangerous fighter in Pacquiao*. “TKO Miguel Cotto?” at 145lbs? “drive Ricky Hatton into retirement” and as i frequently posted beFore that matchup, ANYbody who was counting on Hatton’s chin to prevail v. Pacquiao* was delusional. in fact, Team Pacquiao* was counting on Hatton’s fatally-flawed chin for the opposite outcome. “crush the HUGE Margaritos eye socket” at 150lbs? besides, i don’t recall you being a huge proponent of Margarito’s post-Shane greatness? “and force Clottey to go into survival mode….” and collect a post-fight $1 million bonus(?!?!?). do you dare explain that? of course not. your M.O. is to avoid/ignore challenges by changing the topic or simply abandoning the thread. at which point, you become “Popo” to my “Chico” . . . NEXT?

Box, he was the beneficiary because expectations were SO High for Pac and so LOW for Marquez… He did not get the official nod but in the court of public opinion he was lauded and almost billed as having totally dominated and beat Pac Man down when the truth is he was precise and sharp yet he was NOT pressing the action and his activity was LOW….In my opinion this skewed perceptions because he was slated for NO LESS than a KO loss instead he fought Manny close like he does EVERY fight… Postfight many treated the outcome like an epic robbery which was BOGUS….

No they really don’t they CURRENTLY list Marquez as P4P #3 in the world where are all these experts who believe that Marquez would be a successful WW fighter against top competition? Please spare me your proprietary definition of P4P…. Trying to establish Marquez as a threat at WW based on his ability to handle Manny which is something he did at 126, 130, 144 and 147 does not fly when he has NOT proven himself against ANYONE at the weight beyond Pac Man….If you are going to base Marquez standing on his current P4P ranking then you MUST give Manny the overall nod because he was P4P #1 or #2 in the world for FAR longer than Marquez and if you want to LEAN on experts they voted Manny the Fighter of the Decade with FMJ #2 in the running… This is akin to Tarver being seen overall better than Roy Jones across his career…

Seems he learned his lesson in the 4th bout and looked to hurt Pac Man more than he did simply land a few standout combos per round like he did in the 3rd fight… AGAIN I had no issue with winning but anyone trying to pretend those fights were runaway or clear as a bell is FULL of it….

Marquez has been the beneficiary at times of LOW expectations so when he fought Manny close and was super competitive everyone WILDLY swayed to his side of the ledger…During the 3rd fight he was an insane 7-1 underdog so unless Manny knocked him out he was basically going to be lauded for his performance which was indeed very good nonetheless…Truth is that until the 4th fight NEITHER man owned a non-debatable win over the other…Marquez paucity of activity let him open to loss despite his precision… Thats boxing…

Pacquiao should have one WIN at the MOST vs Marquez. That’s why I told you to ask yourself who WON the majority of the rounds not go by 3 blind mices scorecards. Also what makes you figure that Marquez was on his way to a loss had the KO not occurred??? Marquez was down one point going into the 6th. SO if by some miracle Pacquiao had gotten UP before the count of 10 Marquez would have WON the round 10-8 and would be UP one point going into the 7th. SO according to YOUR own logic Pacquiao was on his way to a LOSS…A Fighter doesn’t have everything to DO with his level of competition. There are other factors such as risk-reward. Manny is more able to get BETTER Fighters to face him because the financial reward is BETTER than facing JMM. Though JMM faced Floyd while Manny did not SO his level of competition is NOT higher than JMM’s by a mile…I never saw Manny beat anybody that JMM couldn’t beat and I’ve been saying it for YEARS…JMM is BETTER than Pacquiao in every way now. Pacquiao used to be able to SAY that he had the most dominant round in the series but now he can’t even say THAT anymore. JMM has WON more rounds than Pacquiao AND he has the most DOMINANT round AND WIN. Theres nothing else to prove.

Boxtradamus, the standings remain at 2 wins for Pacquiao, really 3 but I’ll let that draw slide, but if you look at the fight closely, Pacquiao won that fight by 2-3 points easily, and that’s an unbiased look. Juan Manuel Marquez has one win, and was on the way to another loss had the kO not happened. The quality of competition in their careers favors Pacquiao by a mile, and the 8 division championships Manny has won speaks volume. Sure JMM gives Pacquiao challenges when they fight, but overall, the better fighter is Manny Pacquiao. When fighting other opponents, Pacquiao has made it clear that he is the dominate fighter. He’s also the better athlete. Now, don’t get me wrong, JMM is a very good fighter with great skills,and a true fighting heart. He will give Manny problems, but it’s not that he’s better. Boxing is all about styles. Sometimes styles cause problems to the best fighters in the world. JMM style does this to Manny. I don’t see what else would consider JMM the better fighter.

Each round is a Chapter in the Book of “WHO is the BETTER MAN?”

Boxtradamus, I’m a Pacquiao fan, and I truly believe he’s the better fighter. I also sincerely believe that there are way too many suspicious signs to ignore and not question in regards to JMM possibly using Peds with this guy Angel Hereida. Yes he passed the tests, but Angel Heredias testimony speaks volumes of what he can mask and get away with. The outcome of the fight IMO is very questionable due to the added power JMM had in this last fight. It wasn’t just the KO, it was the knockdown before the KO, and also the sparring leading to this fight, he as dropping guys, something he has never done, and it’s not the changes to his style either. I have seen this guy train live, and seen him many times. He has never carried this kind of power. Any knowledgeable fan that knows fighters and has seen them fight would be suspicious. I know boxing very well, and sometimes I love to stir the pot, but some people have to see both sides regardless if they are a Pacquiao fans or not. Look at things objectively. In my humble opinion, Manny Pacquiao is the superior fighter just like Lennox Lewis was even after he was knocked out by Hasim Rahmon. If a 5th fight happens, and both guys are clean, Manny will win big because the cream always rises to the top. Look at Manny’s resume vs JMM resume and think about what JMM would have done against Manny’s opposition. Manny is the better fighter. The history books will show that.

@Mad Scientist. Yes Hereida is a master Ped Masker, but this time around Freddie will make sure he has proper 24/7 surveillance on everything he does and touches. He will not be out of sight. Freddie has already said that he will ask for the best testing in the world. No wonder JMM can’t quite figure out if he wants a 5th fight. So much money he can make, and he should as you think, be able to beat Manny easily right. You guys say he’s got his number, and he timed Manny perfectly. So, what’s the hesitaion? I’ll tell you what the hesitation is, he’s damn scared that he will be scrutinized and busted. And trust me on this, Manny Pacquiao will get the last laugh, so you guys better begin praying JMM doesn not sign for a 5th fight. Please give me one sensible reason why JMM hasn’t sprinted towards a 5th fight? Didn’t think so. He has all to gain, but what would he have to live with if he loses, and he will. Think about it Pacquiao haters, do you guys want to see a 5th fight? You guys aren’t quite sure he can replicate that win again are you. Manny will get the last laugh.

Again, I’m repeating myself here, It’s difficult to see why any athlete would work with a self admitted “chemist, scientist and nutritionist” who is the best in the world on maximizing performance using PEDs if not to maximize ones performance by PEDs. Again, Heredia’s strengths are not strength and conditioning. The dude is fat and doesn’t even run with his clients. Sure, he might not give Marquez anything illegal but I doubt it. Lance Armstrong might be innocent also ;)

Conte and Heredia made the radar so now you think they have some proprietary knowledge above and beyond many in the world of athletics… Thats naive and if you choose to smear Marquez, it reeks of bias and agenda… As of today Pac Man got stopped he NEVER wanted extra testing…

SREDMOND, Heredia works with Usain Bolt, JMM and that kind of calibre of athletes. He did work with Tim Montgomery and Marion Jones. They all became champions of the world and made millions of dollars. According to the NY Times, his athletes have won 26 Olympic medals. Sure the old Soviets must have had great chemists and what not but I don’t know about these guys and I doubt that Marquez knows about them. We’re in 2013.
What Conte did with Balco was manufacture top of the line anabolic steroids which transformed top athletes into elite athletes, thus Champions. These substances were not detectable in the tests back then. Perfected PED usage is a strong word. What Heredia does is combine the intake of a wide variety of PEDs with daily supervision of detectable substances. He tests that the testosterone and ghGH ratios are within the legal limits even though they might be much higher than any normal person.

And for the record Conte and Heredia they did pioneer and perfect the practice of anabolic steroid use. Do your homework and read about the BALCO scandal. Conte manufactured and sold these top notch steroids for five years to the best athletes in the world until an anonymous tip set a huge investigation going which became the BALCO scandal.

As a matter of fact Conte and Heredia did pioneer the practice of steroid use. Conte started selling these products in 1998 and was very successful with the help of Heredia and others for almost five years until an anonymous tipster caused the BALCO scandal in 2003.
Heredia describes himself as a “chemist, scientist and nutritionist”. That’s not the same thing as you say “WELL schooled strength and conditioning coach”.

You are saying that Nacho and everyone else is along for the ride… You make these GRAND sweeping statements but the fun part for you is that they do NOT require a SHRED of proof…. By your statements you assume that Heredia is incapable of moving forward without juicing his athletes? His past though dubious does not dictate his future and you fail to mention that he has been working with the government…I know you have a conspiracy to mitigate these realities but Marquez has been a clean fighter for his entire career as we know it and deserves the benefit of the doubt….

Then he advanced from there. Read it and get back to me!

Posted January 3, 2013 11:51 am 

Haimat

SREDMOND, first, not I nor Hecdog has insinuated that Heredia was the only guy in the PED business!? There are many but he’s in PEDs like Roach or Virgil Hunter is in boxing. Working with Usain Bolt and JMM. His main focus is not the physical training but the PEDs and how to avoid testing positive. Secondly win or lose is irrelevant. What casts suspicion is Heredia and the performance of a 40 year old Marquez. Regarding Vargas, I guess he took your advice and went to “get all of the drugs at ANY meathead gym out there…” That’s a highway to getting caught. Simple.
JMM, Pac and Donaire deserve the benefit of the doubt. I stated that very clearly in a post earlier. Though working with Conte and Heredia is highly suspicious. At the same time, these athletes stay within the testing limits so no matter how much PEDs an athlete takes, it’s not illegal until the test is positive. Technically you’re not cheating if the test is negative.
This might be the way of the future. Working with the best guys out there that will maximize the performance while testing negative!! It’s the same in every sport. The most advanced sport is cycling where the tests very rarely are positive but every single elite cyclist is using.

Posted January 3, 2013 11:48 am

Haimat, how EXACTLY do YOU know the extent of Heredias knowledge regarding physical training? Have you worked with him and how can YOU be privy to all the information in this mans mind? He has advanced degrees and PED’s aside this is indeed is chosen field of endeavor.. AGAIN you are assigning all these arbitrary limitations on his knowledge to bolster your case against Marquez, in a vain attempt to get Pac Man a pardon for his KO loss….Heredia knows MORE about Exercise Science than you or I EVER will because we don’t work with Elite athletes at that level…. Stop the BS the guy did more than just mix syringes… Like I said Marquez was NOT questioned about Heredia this heavily till he knocked one of the Cash Cows of boxing ICE COLD….

Haimat if there is “NO RISK” of getting busted then why do guys get busted??? We know plenty slip buy but you used the phrase “no risk” when when we have DOZENS of high profile professional and amateur athletes failing drug tests and being sanctioned… Rodriguez, Ramirez, Bonds, Jones, Johnson, Vargas, Mosley, Montgomery, Armstrong, Klitschko as an amateur…NONE of this equals “No Risk” reality is that Marquez is being dinged for building muscle and stopping Pac Man cold… Had he lost sporting the SAME body no one would have said ANYTHING, Hecdogs agenda is BEYOND transparent…. It hurts your case because Pacquiao has been under more suspicion than anyone and when he loses BAD the onus falls on his opponent despite passing the SAME tests that Pac fought to have remain standard during his bouts???

Posted January 3, 2013 11:36 am 

SREDMOND

Haimat, I don’t accuse ANY fighter UNLESS he tests positive and thats just the way it goes… Nowadays guys are using this as a means to smear any boxer they do not like or somehow mitigate any loss they are NOT happy a about…. Peterson, Toney, Vargas, Both and others have tested positive but JMM, Pac and Donaire NEVER did and thus they deserve the benefit of the doubt… ANY trainer or strength coach can get his hands on PED’s and the masking agents and protocols to give a better chance of passing… Like I said if Heredia and Conte were so damn foolproof why were they in trouble with the government?? If they are the BEST at hiding duplicity then why are they in the spotlight and others still operating under the radar??

Posted January 3, 2013 11:31 am

Haimat, what I am saying is that BOTH you and “Hecdog” are VERY naive if you think that the ONLY guy with knowledge of how to beat the system in boxing is Angel Heredia… Marquez has a guy that immediately casts a spotlight on him but the TRUTH is that if Marquez had LOST or been the victim NO ONE would be speculating about PED usage…Keith Kizer in 2010 noted 60 boxers had tested positive and MOST lost their bouts… When Manny was smashing fighters the rumors flew that he was cheating, when he began having tough nights out suddenly people were no longer pressing those assumptions…We know there are proven benefits physiologically to taking PED’s but NO ONE has showed me scientifically that they make you a better or more powerful fighter…Vargas was juiced out of his mind and he still got stopped how do you explain??

Posted January 3, 2013 10:55 am

SREDMOND you’re obviously dead set on the opinion that JMM is clean as a virgin and nothing anybody says will convince you that there is reason for suspicion here. I agree that in boxing one punch can change it all. The one punch KO means very little as far as PEDs go.
What I and Hecdog are trying to tell you is the fact that any athlete that works with Heredia is a prime suspect of using PEDs. That said, it’s not the same thing as using illegal PEDs. Heredia is an ex-discus thrower. He’s not particularly fit. He’s not an expert on interval running or plyometrics training but he’s probably one of a handful of the best experts in the world regarding how to use PEDs in a very sophisticated manner to maximize performance and not test positive in any drug test used. FACT. He managed to guide Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery and more to multiple Olympic golds without ever testing positive. He himself used illegal PEDs in his career and is still injecting testosterone at least in 2008. There is no reason Marquez would chose this dude over other physical trainers except to take advantage of his expertise.

Haimat, STOP overstating JMM’s power you are trying to sell him as Mike Tyson because he layed out Pacquiao… The fact is that JMM has ALWAYS been a guy who could get fighters out of there, in case you missed it he has 40 stoppages on his record..But inflexible brains are wedded to the idea that he could NOT stop Manny Pacquiao in such devastating fashion and it was that thinking that set Pac Man up to be careless and overaggressive… Who thought Buster Douglas would stop Tyson? or Holyfield stop Tyson? Mosley stop Margarito? Tarver and Johnson KO Jones? This is boxing and the same punch on a different night can lay ANY man out…. Pac Man got his ticket punched and while JMM bulked up, alot of it had to do with technique and Pacquiao’s reckless momentum adding to the force generated.

Hecdog, NOW you are speaking for the government and you say “they don’t care what he and JMM do” if they are so indifferent then why was Heredia working with them under duress? and why did they go after stars like Clemmons, Bonds, Mcgwire and a slew of others?? Victor Conte has worked with Fighter of the Year Nonito Donaire and yet no one accuses him….??? Why because he submits to year round random? What do you think these Olympian were passing… Heredia and Conte are NOT the only guys in the world who know how to adminster PED’s and the common denominator between both is that their people got caught just like all the rest…Marquez might have taken a public relations risk using a guy with Heredias background but the fact is that he (Heredia) has a TON of knowledge about modern sports science and strength training which Marquez used to GREAT effect while passing the appropriate tests… LIVE WITH IT!

OneInchPunch, greetings. It’s great to talk to someone that’s not high or fanboyish that actually reads people’s posts on this forum. I’ve been stuck with forreal and this guy SREDMOND. Hey man the Jamaican sprinters are an interesting bunch. Angel Heredia worked with Bolt and I assume with Blake to. All of a sudden these guys run 100 meters faster than anyone including all the experts thought was possible. I don’t even know what the world record is anymore. I think it’s closer to 9 s than 10 s. I heard all these arguments that Bolt had the perfect genetics for running fast… then all of a sudden came Blake out of the same camp. I’m convinced that these guys are using advanced PEDs to enable them to train the way they do and perform the way they do. I’ts a multi million dollar business.

I suggest you google read the interview that Angel Heredia did in Der Spiegel in 2008 where he openly discusses these matters. Regarding testing he says “the only way testing can catch up to drug use is when all money the sport generates is dumped back into research further testing. ” This dude is well known in the industry to be the top dog and makes millions.

That said. Marquez is innocent until proven guilty. Seriously. I would never flat out accuse the legend of using illegal PEDs without a positive test or other circumstances that suggested so.

How many Athletes at the olymipics tested positive for PEDS. don’t envy the jamaicans sprinters because they are the best and clean!! only in boxing and a few other sports are PEDs allowed to flourish due to poor governance or fractured governance. Athletic has strong governance and is the front runner for testing…. that’s why boxing should adopt its testing across the board. I’m not a big fan of Floyd M jr… but i take my hat off to him for demanding his opponents submitted to random blood and urine testing.

SREDMOND, you basically know nothing about how elite athletes use PEDs. By elite I mean guys like Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Jamaican sprinters and what not. Should elite fighters do PEDs they will most likely spend the necessary money to get the most bang for your buck without the slightest risk of getting caught. There are a few guys out there and Heredia is probably the best of the bunch.

hecdog obviously hit a sore spot. You go bananas and write one post after another where you deny that JMM could ever take PEDs. Wake up! Did you think Marion Jones, Armstrong and basically every US sprinter the last 30 years took PEDs? These guys are sophisticated. Marion Jones could train for ten hours a day without getting injured. That’s simply not possible without PEDs.

Why would JMM straight out lie about that. Please tell me how this supposed great boxer and athlete that has been boxing for year dare to think fans are going to believe that kind of bold lie. I can guarantee you that an athlete of JMM caliber would know every little thing about the guy he is going to hire. Do you honestly think the government gives a rats ass if Hereida and JMM are doing something illegal like that? Wake up, there’s plenty more issues of importance then having to worry about boxing and a Ped Dealer. And, Ped dealers always have to stay ahead of the game. They’re not dumb, they are constantly finding ways of beating the current testing. They need to constantly evolve. Yes there’s others whp are getting over, not just Hereida, but he’s the guy the Olympic athletes wanted, so he must have plenty of knowledge. You guys need to stop being so naive regarding JMM and his use of Angel Hereida. There was a reason he was brought in, and it wasn’t to show him how to dress better. And trust me, a man of God that is Manny Pacquiao doesn’t cheat. He’s an honest, humble good person that is above cheating.

You say Mosley got busted because he did NOT work with Heredia well he worked with CONTE who is the KING of BALCO…. Reality is NONE of these guys have a foolproof method of passing tests and testing is NOT of 100% certainty… Reality is that you are ASSUMING JMM is guilty because he works with a WELL schooled strength and conditioning coach….Heredia is under so much scrutiny its hard to believe would DARE try and pull something, the Government would slam him in jail so fast… But alas you contend that ONLY Heredia can help guys pass tests?? Then the reality is that you are by extension saying that ALL guys who never get busted are clean because ONLY Angel Heredia can get you around these tests?? I know this critical thinking stuff is too much for you but that reality is implicit in your statements…

Posted January 2, 2013 6:13 pm

The only reason JMM used Hereida was because he was desperate and obsessed with beating Manny Pacquiao. All I heard from JMM on every spanish TV show and interviews were Many Pacquiao, Manny Pacquiao, Manny Pacquiao. He knew full well that he had lost every previous fight, and finally said to himself, “I need something to get me over the hump.” Desperate people do desperate things. If Hereida’s workout and nutrition were so helpful to JMM, why did they not in the slightest give him credit for JMM new found power. You would think that he would since he transformed his entire training and conditioning. As a matter of fact, he has not been heard of since. Do you find any of this suspicious? If JMM had never hired Hereida, we would not be having this discussion. Remember Ben Johnson, he sure came out with explosive speed and power. Something that he had never had before. Same similarity with JMM. Regardless of what you may think, in the public’s eye, there’s plenty of suspicion in this specific fight in regards to JMM. There will always be a? mark because of Mr. Hereida. Too bad because JMM may have been clean, but I highly doubt it. The fact is, JMM won the fight clean or dirty. The NSAC testing is pathetic, and IMO, Hereida found away. If he was clean, JMM will have no reason not to fight Manny again, right? He will earn big money, and he’ll be able to cast all doubts aide with a victory even though Freddie Roach himself has already stated that he wants the top of the line testing. No wonder JMM is hesitant.

Posted January 2, 2013 5:37 pm 

hecdog

SREDMOND, JMM specifically chose Hereida because he already knows how to get around the testing. All the trainers and promoters know exactly what the Nevada State Athletic Commission tests for. Hereida in his transcripts has acknowledged this and says he could get around any testing. His father was a chemist, and he himself admits to having a wealth of knowledge. The guy assisted Olympians and they passed the tests. Surreal, you’re funny! Sure Peterson, Mosely and the others were busted because they weren’t using Hereida. Isn’t that a bit obvious. Please show some type of objectivity. As I mentioned, if it were the other way around and Manny was using Hereida and had KO’d JMM, you guys would be the first to complain and suggest something wasn’t right.

Posted January 2, 2013 5:04 pm 

SREDMOND

Hecdog, you say “no one wants to hear the truth” that happens to be YOUR truth…If JMM wanted to uses PEDS he did NOT need Heredia you can get all of the drugs at ANY meathead gym out there… Heredia worked with the Government so he is certainly subject to MAJOR time should he be connected to anyone using PED’s…Peterson was NOT working with Heredia when he tested dirty, nor was Botha, Vargas or James Toney so stop acting like Heredia is the end all and be all in this regard… Manny could have just as easily used as Marquez but according to the accepted standard of testing BOTH men are clean and thus these results have to be lived with….Conjecture and Rumors cannot substitute for a positive test… Marquez has ALWAYS been seen as clean till he focused on strength and knocked Pac Man to kingdom come…. AGAIN you are a SOUR excuse for a fight fan who cannot accept the HARD defeat of the Great Pac Man…

People don’t like to hear the truth. I have yet too hear one JMM supporter or Pacquaio hater mention the slightest possibilty that JMM my have used something with the new addition of Mr Ped Supplier, Angel Hereida. Denial is a hard thing to overcome, but if you’re honest with yourself, you can at the least say why did JMM chose to use this well known Ped Supplier? The typ of power JMM was carrying is something he’s never had before. Is the newly found power and Angel Hereida just a coincidence? Let’s put Angel and JMM under a lie detector test. Hmm……now that would be interesting. I wonder what the results would be? Remember, if it looks like a crook, talks like a crook and acts like a crook, it’s crook. Denial is not a good thing to have. Manny Pacquiao has always been clean, and he did agree to take any test at any time with mayweather. He practically begged for any testing Mayweather wanted. ESPN’s First take segment featured Manny Pacquiao, and he put it out there for the world to see right out of his mouth. Case closed. Floyd sure didn’t respond. Manny had challenge ahead of him with Mayweather and when that fell threw, he decided to take a fight with marquez. yes, he had a let down, and with JMM newly acquired Ped Supplier, he got caught. JMM has to live with a shaky conscious, and that’s going to be tough. He sure hasn’t been heard from since. Neither as has the infamous Angel Hereida. Why are they hiding? Manny has been waiting for a response. JMM should have an easy time right? What’s the hold up?

And it’s not about the people like Heredia who are known to have abused the system. They’re easy targets. It’s those that you don’t know about like Ariza, the people behind Lance Armstrong. I’ll bet any money there WILL NOT BE STRICTER TESTING in the fifth fight because PEDcquiao will realize he would be subjected to same tests. JMM’s team already said let’s do more testing. If there isn’t any more testing in the next fight will there be any doubt whether PEDcquiao has been using PEDs?

Haimat, good comments. Some people for some reason don’t like Manny Pacquiao. I think it’s envy, jealousy or plain hate. At least your look at things objectively and without bias, and more importantly, you use common sense. Some fans are in denial about JMM and his use of Angel “Ped Supplier to Olmpians Hereida. Yes, why would an athlete like JMM choose to use him. It’s simple, he has been so obsessed with beating Manny Pacquiao that he did the unthinkable. He sold his soul to the devil. Let’s face it, Manny Pacquiao hater will never go away. They don’t want to talk about Angel Hereida’ involvement in all this even if it is crystal clear what a cheat this guy is. A blind man could put this together. JMM camp knew exactly what they were doing, and they knew Hereida’s full story, but they still tried to deny it until thy were pushed for answers. Funny how he was never given credit for the win by JMM and his camp immediately after the fight and since. The guy added so much power, but never mentioned once. Too bad, some people get away with murder. You don’t need a body to convict someone of murder? On the other hand they have been accusing Manny of Peds for years. He never failed a test, but some fans continued to insist he was using. Now that he has lost, they are all over him, but don’t mention anything on JMM new nutritional supplier. They have it out for Manny Pacquiao. Too bad because he basically is boxing. He’s the draw and he transcends sports all by himself.

Looking at Pac’s performance he actually did his best fight against Marquez this 4th time. Outlanding him 2 to 1. Apart from the knockdowns it was his best performance by far against Marquez.

Posted January 2, 2013 10:23 am 

Haimat

I’m reading these guys trying to come up with arguments that Pacquiao is or has been using PEDs. The best “evidence” seems to be that he beat up guys badley. His physique suggests nothing of the sort. Take a look at Marquez after he started training with Heredia or Hopkins in the Tarver fight and I agree that there is reason for suspicion. Pac on the other hand has been fighting pro since 16, war after war the last ten years and now when he’s slowing down at 34 “he’s obviously not on PEDs anymore”. What a bunch of baloney! Sure every fighter is a suspect but with “evidence” like this it’s just hating. Berto, Peterson, Vitali, Toney, there are loads of guys that got caught. Pacquiao has never been caught or even been associated with trainers or people with a history of PEDs.

Google “Angel Heredia” and find out who that guy is. After reading a few articles about the man I have a hard time understanding why any athlete would train with him if not to use the best PEDs on the market and not get caught… He supplied all the stars of the US Olympic track team a few years back with PEDs. They all won gold and never tested positive.

Posted January 2, 2013 10:14 am

I’m not going to say Pacman is on PED’s because honestly; I don’t know. However this is exactly what I’ve been thinking looking at his last couple of fights and when he was still looking at a mega payday vs Floyd. A slow withdrawal so that he could test clean for the big fight does seem to fit the situation as it has evolved. The real irony was all the Pactard’s screaming that JMM was on PED’s!

LOL the ring put Broner ahead of Pacquiao on the p4p list. Manny should fight Broner as a tune up before the 5th fight with Marquez. He should demolish the young problem.

Stop dreaming. IF the Fight went 9 rds Pac’s head would have been split open like a COCONUT.

Imagine what if manny didn’t rush in at the last second of the 6 rounds and not hit by the lucky punch of marquez,
what you think can happen to the face of marquez after rd9? maybe it will be worst than the face of margarito.

Pac should be 0-4 vs Marquez… Pacman had an awesome 1st round of the 1st fight.. After the 1st round of the 1st fight JMM staged an awesome comeback and just nipped Pac after 12.. The second fight JMM had by a point and the 3rd fight by 4 points.. He was a little behind when he scored the KO.. Marquez wasn’t out for a points win this last fight.. He was looking for the killer KO finish.

Pacquiao’s record isn’t very GOOD vs Top 10 P4P Fighters. And his record vs. Marquez is a mirage. He should be 1-3 vs Marquez with one LOSS by knockout.

“Every time Pacquiao has fought JMM, JMM has been in the top 10 P4P” -LOL…are you NEW to Boxing or what?? Obviously SO. Because IF you weren’t new to Boxing you would know that Marquez MADE the P4P list for his showing vs. Pacquiao not for what he did prior to facing him. SO your statement is FALSE. JMM was NOT Top 10 P4P every time he fought Pacquiao…since you’re NEW to Boxing learn how to DO some research.

That’s exactly my point. Either quote something official or if you’re going to throw in your personal opinion then say that. Because we all know Pactards opinions mean little.

Pacs been physically gifted enough to get away with it but as he gets older theres no beating father time. For now i see no physical decline in him just that an anomaly occured where Marquez was able to eat Pacs shots in the pocket and deliver with 1 punch kd and ko power. Has Pac lost punch resistance his next fight will tell i doubt it though not yet.

Still Butt Hurt, I can see it’s hard for you to talk after having hard butt sex, but hey, you’re the expert on that right? So let me get this right, you said: “Unofficially, most everyone felt JMM was robbed in the third fight.” Well, unofficially, I thought Pacquiao won their first fight. What’s the difference? I say Pac won three out of 4 fights. Now, run off to Walgreens and get yourself some Preparation H. After all, your butt DOES hurt, right?

BTW, Braggadamus, in 2005, Erik Morales was ranked #6 P4P by Ring Magazine. That was the same year he fought Pacquiao. Remember? Barrera was rated #3 P4P in 2002. Pacquiao beat him in 2003 knocking him off the P4P chart. Oh well. Just shows what you DON”T know about boxing. Especially Manny Pacquiao.

Forreal, we’ll (Manny) be back soon my friend, but for some unknown reason, Juan Manuel Marquez isn’t jumping on a huge payday against a man he just knocked out. Please tell me what he’s afraid of if he has, as many say, figured him out, set up the ko punch or has his Manny’s number. As many of you say, JMM should be able to convincingly beat Manny Pacquiao again. Hmmm…doesn’t sound like a confident man to me. Manny has been asking for the rematch ever since the loss, but all we hear from JMM is “I have decided yet”. Aren’t you the least bit curious as to why he doesn’t go right after the rematch? I think Hereida may want to distance himself from JMM because of the guilt. Notice how you heard no mention of Angel Heredia right after the win or since? For a guy that did so much for JMM, why was he not mentioned, heard from or spoken about immediately after the fight? What’s the hold up Marquez? Maybe you can get the muscles and the right mix back again if Angel is missing. Manny, PacMan, Fighter of the Decade, Mr Boxing, Bible study Teacher is patiently waiting for your answer. And this time, you will be tested in every way per Freddie’s recent comment, and it will be thorough testing. No wonder Marquez is hesitant. In the end, the truth will come out especially if you’re dealing with a man of God, which Manny Pacquiao is. Manny Pacquiao has always been clean. He passed every test known to man, and he doesn’t need Angel Heredia because he’s a clean, honest, respectful man. Step up Mr Marquez and sign the fight.

I have been a great fan of Pacman for years, I’m also great fan of JMM, that does not change the fact that both fighters are at a point in their careers where they can be injured seriously. I would hate to see them go the RJJ path of continuing fighting absolutely meaningless contest. I really do not think they are in financial troubles to press them to continue.

AS I have stated before , Hard Battles & Father time has caught up with Pacquiao. It happens to the greatest athletes, especially in the toughest sport of all Boxing. Look back in history, Joe Lewis,Sugar Ray Robinson & more recently Roy Jones Jr. All slowed down just that fraction of a second which was a part of their overall superiority to begin with. I hope that both of these great warriors will walk away from being professional boxers before they become seriously injured. The same advise to RRJ.

Truth is Manny ran into a punch by a guy that has never carried that kind of power, ever. His physique was that of a middle line backer. All this under the scutiny of a well know Ped Supplier. We’ll never know the truth. Manny was still winning on and even hurt JMM with a jab. He was walking him down until he got caught. As raw as Manny is, IMO, he’s the better fighter even with his flaws. He won 3 out of 4. He has created such an aura of invincibility that people are shocked. The victory will always be tarnished because of Angel Hereida. Take him out of the picture and all would be fine. Unfortunately, it never will and now seeing JMM hesitation for a rematch. Suspicion increases. Why is JMM afraid to committ to another fight? I saw him 2 days after the fight, and let me tell you, he looked like an old man with wrinkles. I was shocked. How can he go from the Hulk to an aging old man that quickly. No wonder he wants no part of Manny. Seems very unusual?

Posted January 1, 2013 8:16 pm

Pacquiao trained hard but not smart… To train smart you need a real good prime-time chief trainer and chief second. You need world class strength and conditioning coaches. Roach didn’t caution Pac by telling him JMM was laying in the weeds ready to pounce, trying to take his head off with a right. Your fighter is fighting his ass off so he’s not seeing everything you should see. If you’re that aggressive, and even careless, a great counterpuncher is going to find your chin in a 12-rounder—and nail you to the floor. Exactly halfway through the fight Marquez struck gold. One of the most dramatic KOs I’ve ever seen … Next time Pac has to run a smarter camp. He has to be his own chief trainer.

Time you start begging Mayweather to fight top 10 p4p fighters like Bradley too then that would be a good start to 2013 Bardley at welterweight in May and Austin Trout at lightmiddle weight in September 2013 and December 2013 Sergio Martinez at middleweight it would be Floyd’s best year ,ever and he would be a sure too be considered World fighter of the year in 2013, “but wait its Robert Guerrero for May ,lol”

NO. Pacquiao is losing because he is facing Top 10 P4Pers like I had been BEGGING him to DO for YEARS. Had that been #0 P4P Mosely, Clottey, or Margarito in there instead of Top 3 P4P Marquez, Manny would have ran right through him…But when you face someone with MUCH Boxing SKILLS and MUCH Ring Smarts its a different story.

Posted January 1, 2013 5:19 pm

I’ve been saying that. His last 2 fights Pac has come in at 147 on the weigh in and then on fight night he is over 147. Before that the whole Manny camp kept saying he has to eat just to reach 147 and now he is weighing over 147. I do believe he is lacking in his training just a bit. But he is also getting old and sometimes the body can’t take that type of training any more

Pac won a raw fight just until the ko ,Jmm was a mess. Pac felt he wanted to show he could get the ko win over JMM and went all in ,and got koèd because of that,
I think if Pac holds back some aggression he will win on points ,but go for the ko when thr time is right.

In a man’s world we shouldn’t use P.E.D.’s, and I don’t want to say he was on them, but let’s just say he was slowly weening himself off of them, just in case he chose to fight Floyd, Manny knows he show be clean, thoroughly by that time. He may have still be testing those waters, trying to balance fighting clean, and I believe he believed that just being the busier fighter would be enough to pull he through, as he conditions to fight Floyd “clean”, but Juan upset that plan before Floyd could….
He is off his PEDS…
