All time greats like Marquez dont need to juice to knock out guys as wreckless as Pacquiao has shown to be.
Adjustments was all that was needed.
And bingo KO of the century.

You do know that a century is 100 years right? Just making sure.

Pacquiao, Mayweather, Marquez and Morales were all juicing. Only Marco Antonio Barrera was clean. :P

Though Marco did have a metal plate in his head.

I see what you mean. Since JMM's never been caught. To outright accuse,, It would be holding oneself to impossible standards to prove it. I'd say suspect. It's like a barometer. Some are higher on the suspect list than others.

This reminds me of a post after Kovalev beat Hopkins, claiming he had been "exposed". You can't be "exposed" at 49, just like you can't "take the ball and go home" after two decades of an incredible career.
Not everyone has to go the Toney route and fight until they can barely speak anymore, you know. When you've achieved an incredible amount, it might behoove you to know it's time to gracefully leave (or in Marquez' case, basically stay gone).

Good post, Bobby

I enjoy watching both men box - they are both modern greats and its clear that both have used some sort of enhancing substance. Both men have been so evenly matched, the KO win by Marquez was a fine knockout and Manny has done well to come back from that as well as he has. The encounters between them have been modern classics, I don't want to see another and I don't blame Marquez for not wanting to face Manny again - anything other than a decisivewin may take away some of the sheen of the KO.
