Paulie Malignaggi hints that Manny Pacquiao might be on something

November 18, 2009 By NB News 91 Comments

After Manny Pacquiao’s impressive KO victory of IBO light welterweight champion Ricky Hatton on May 2, 2009, Floyd Mayweather Sr. had accused Manny Pacquiao of taking steroids or enhancement drugs(Mayweather accuses Pacman of steroids).

Days Prior to Pacquiao’s fight with WBO welterweight Champion Miguel Cotto on Saturday Nov. 14, boxer Kermit Cintron also believed that the Pacman was on something(Cintron believes Pacman is on something).

After Manny Pacquiao’s dominating win over Miguel Cotto, a fight in which Pacquiao took all of Cotto’s best punches and shook them off even dropping Cotto twice in the fight, the  rumors that the fighter could be taking steroids or performance enhancing drugs were in the air again, this time by former Cotto foe, Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi.

In an interview with BoxingScene, Paulie Malignaggi was discussing his upcoming HBO rematch on December 12th, with Juan Diaz, when the topic changed to the Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight, Malignaggi had this to say:

What did you think of Pacquiao’s win over Cotto?

Paulie Malignaggi: “ I think there is something up with Manny Pacquiao. I am not going to get into it.  I think people will understand what I am saying.  Full blown welterweights don’t take those type of punches from Miguel Cotto the way he took them with total disregard for his power nor do they hurt him with every punch they hit him with.  These are full blown welterweights I am talking about.  This guy is coming up in weight and doing all these things.  There is something up with this guy but that’s as far as I am going to go into it.  Floyd Mayweather (Senior) has gotten into it a little bit.  There have been other fighters who have mentioned it.  I am not going to get into no controversy.  I am going to leave it at that.  There is something that seriously makes me feel weird about Manny Pacquiao.  I am going to leave it at that.”
