Yup. Which is why certain fighters just prefer to stay over there or drag people out there.
Which is why, as a fighter, you can't just half-ass the training and prep, like Manny did against Horn. Every opponent must be seen as a danger especially on their home turf.
It gives newfound respect to Devin Haney for what he did and to Spence when he went to beat Brook.Comment

Seriously, I'm so sick Ima never going to watch boxing again. This disgusts me. It isn't the sport I've always followed. I'm gonna stop watching it. Between the weight crashing & the PEDs it has become evil. There is no space for skills, its all about being bigger & stronger than the other guy by all means necessary. I'm through, I quit. I'll never watch this 'sport' again & I'll never post on here again. I used to love & admire boxing & boxers but .... its over. You'll find me on Cricinfo & bleating about how awful Villa are but, Boxing, never no more, man, through.Comment

Algieri commented that he beat unclean fighters b4. So that means when he got smashed by Benn, it wasn't the drugs. It was his fists. If you have beaten unclean fighters b4, that means cheating doesn't guarantee anyone a win. If it were that simple, anyone with drugs could dominate the sport, but as Algieiri pointed out, cheaters lose to clean fighters too. Benn was just much better and therefore, he kicked his narrow ass, and that's just how the cookie crumbled on that one.Comment

You hear so many pro’s say that boxing is littered with drug cheats, Pauline Malignaggi is pretty open with his view that Manny Pacquiao was a big PED user through his career. Fury and Canelo have got away with it massively, which makes it worth the risk. Look at Jarrell Miller, he should be banned for life but he’s still fighting professionally.
Algieri says he's beaten dirty fighters but doesn't name them.Comment

Stimulants and weight shedding drugs have been around since the early 80's. Ali's camp openly talked about giving him drugs to drop weight and Panama Lewis was accused of giving a stimulant to Aaron Pryor in the first Arguello fight.
Boxing has always been a dirty fight between the ropes and outside the ropes with fixing of judging, fixing of fights and crass manipulation of the boxing public.Comment

Don't know for sure, do we?
Especially with that version of Kell Brook who was seemingly nigh unstoppable at a point with the most perfect physique in the business short of Tim Bradley.

Still with that nonsense. I lost a cold grand on Miguel that night cause he went in there trying to knockout margarito. Look at the shots he ate clean and tell me honestly if margaritos cheating’ self had wraps in that fight Miguel wouldn’t be alive today. I have sat down with fight fans to watch this fight again and point out just how bad Miguel’s defense was that night. He tried to out gun a bigger man and ate upppercuts cause he kept sitting in the pocket. Yeah, margs is a cheating bastard but not for a damn second do I think cotto survives the first half of that fight against wrapped hands. Not even close.Last edited by turnedup; 10-07-2022, 06:20 PM.Comment
