    Should Boxers found cheating be restricted from the Hall of Fame?

    Just a thought...

    Do you think Boxers that have been caught in their professional careers using steroids or loaded gloves, should be banned from entering the Hall of Fame?

    Why baseball has a bunch of guys that juiced in the hall, and yet they won't allow Pete Rose in for betting on his own team. They call that a violation I call it faith in his team.

          if they do steroids in boxing they should not be allowed in the hall,and if their gloves are loaded they should not be allowed in the hall and should also be charged with attempt to injure and be thrown out of the sport completely

            I think this would also act as another reason to not take the risk.

                I agree this is why Ali shouldnt be in the hall of fame either. Dundee admits to purposefully ripping Ali's gloves to buy time and there is video evidence of Ali using an illegal substance between the 4th and 5th round against Henry Cooper. All cheaters should be punished equally and Ali was as bad as any.

                  Loaded gloves yes, steroids no. Everybody does roids and it doesn't hurt your opponent's health, it doesn't risk his life. Loaded gloves can kill somebody or blind him( Luis Resto vs Collins incident).

                    was it proven that he stated taking miracle-grow,is it confirmed,if so he should be brought to the tribunal and be suspended until further notice,this sport has no room for this,and if some one loads their gloves the case should go to court right away and the fighter be sentenced by a judge,what are these fighters trying to do,are the boxing promoters aware,if so they should be suspended until this matter can be resolved,i think we need a new governing body in place,and get the ball rolling,any shred of evidence that links a boxer to steroids or loaded gloves shall be dealt with swiftly,and any promoters taking short cuts or bribes should also be handled with a fist of iron
