    Id like the governing bodies to have a zero-tolerance policy on promoters that only make fights for money and never for the fans or boxers their promoting

      There needs to be a zero-tolerance policy. All this cheating needs to end and the people that continue and are caught, should be reprimanded for their actions.

        Anyone else see the irony in Frank Warren trying to preach on issues of morality?

          A lot of your favorite boxers have done roids before so a zero tolerance policy might be a bit much. I also find it pretty annoying how people in the media give Mosley a pass, and actually claim to believe him, but they get on guys like Toney.

          There's no doubt Mosley knew exactly what he was doing. To give him a pass because he's a class act is ridiculous. Same with Holyfield. He was caught not to long ago and its swept under the rug.

            Avid Followers of boxing did hear this point made by Mosley himself: "If anything the steriods didn't help my performance against Oscar in the second fight. I was unable to keep up with my energy level. So the drug did more bad than good."

              At the same time, Mosley's rally down the stretch over a faded De La Hoya is what won him the decision.
