    Floyd will cite this NSB thread as the reason not to fight Mosley. And the boxing media will be okay with it.

    Yes...you get it.
    All I'm saying is that, you get a MAJOR SPORT BROADCASTING giant ESPN behind the promoting machine...and media support to the general public to discredit Mosely who was a user of BALCO products, and POOF a fight is no longer appealing to the mass public. Let's face it...I'd discredit him too if I had to face comparable opposition.

    Instead, let's get a wild puncher/boxer who happens to be a more lucrative,and possibly more tailored for PBF.

    Yea...I got it AL...sounds plausible to me.

        But Dominicans, Puerto Ricans and Venezolanos are the biggest culprits in roid abuse. At least they get caught more.

        ...and the Mets line-up was heavily Latino.
        First time I don't agree with you; this is just not true. They are "caught" more because the media wants to make an example of them. Ken Caminiti died because of steroids, the All-American boy McGuire was the biggest juicer around, then Bonds breaks the record and he also did steroids. Add to that Clemens, Pettite, Giambi - these are all top guys, top AMERICAN guys.

        I truly believe the media wanted to take attention away from all the American guys doing it, and thus started to look at Sosa, Palmeiro, Alex, Manny, etc. I'm not denying those guys used steroids, but they are being made an example of because they are Latino.

          Maybe...or maybe everyone's using.

          **edit**

          I will say that the way Barry Bonds was treated was downright disgusting.

              Tunney, moron...this happened in '03 and he admitted it in '07. Yet you have to nerve to accuse of him steroids right after the Margarito fight and then cry when someone questions Vitali who admitted and was kicked off the Ukrainian Olympic team for taking illegal steroids. Thanks for your daily dose of hypocrisy, it's always enjoyable.
