Is Boxing in serious trouble

[The Next Champ]

Guys ive know you all heard about the allegations in the past about steriods being used in boxing....do u think can become a serious problem n the sport..because of my knowledge a user of this can have increased power, speed and stamina...making him well SUPERMAN lol

Boxers that have been linked or said to have used them or tested postive:

Roy Jones Jr. (after fight with richard hall)
James Toney (after his last fight)
Evander Holyfield(Linked to a pharmacy)
Fernando Vargas
Shane Mosley
Francios Botha
Vitali Klitscko
Jameel Mcline
Juan Carlos Gomez..............just to name a few

I've read that 7 out of 10 boxers use some kind of steroids, so it's already a problem.

Are baseball and football in serious trouble? No. Until they put guys in front of a grand jury, it is all just speculation

[The Next Champ]

your right its just a speculation but at the same time its cheating and many of these guys area ll time greats

your right that until theres a grand jury that it is all just speculation, but to an extent baseball is in trouble not extremly serious yet, when one of the best players on offense and the best pitcher in baseball, essentially the faces of the sport look like they cheated it can really only be a negative thing for the future of baseball, it won't be when fans flock back to there sport though. Boxing is fine for now though

Well Vargas proved steroids dont help that much.

I don't know, but there might be. It seems at this point Baseball is the scapegoat and takes the most heat for the issue.

Every single top fighter to use steroids has been caught. And we know this because theres no random urine tests, they ALWAYS do urine tests before the fight.

So you know every time. For Baseball and Football, it would cost so much to run these tests on all the players before every game, that they have to use random tests. Not everyone gets caught.

well first of all, are baseball players going out there everyday and repeatedly smashing someone in the face? doubtful. Are football players using their physical strength to try to hurt someone? maybe a little. but my point being, that i do not think boxing is in trouble, however using steroids with an intent to hurt is a whole different ballgame apart from those who use them to score points.

bottom line. boxing has been around for ages, in one form or another, people will get hurt, some will die, and steroid use IS wrong, but its not going to take boxing away from the world

[HotSizzle]

Well Vargas proved steroids dont help that much.

Well in boxing they don't.
