Comments Thread For: Paulie Malignaggi on Ryan Garcia's Positive: 'Boxing's the Dirtiest of All Sports'

I like how pacroid gotktfout

This isn't about Pacquiao but since you mentioned it, I don't remember him ever testing positive for PEDs. Please enlighten me and remember, su****ion is not proof of anything.

I don't even care if he did do steroids. Boxing is so dirty; why try to be clean, when everyone is cheating? Whether it's (mis)matching, ducking, or paying to be ranked by the sanctioning bodies, sanctioning bodies allowing champions to not defend their titles (Charlo). It's so dirty.

Be dirty. Who cares?

No one ever will care about boxers.

Well clearly you don't care but that doesn't mean the people who are actual in the pro game shouldn't care. Sure, there are potentially a lot of fighters who are juicing that don't get caught but that doesn't mean there should be an attitude of indifference or tolerance when there are fights who don't juice who have to go in the ring against cheaters.
People with your kind of mentality are the problem. If boxing has rules against cheating, and guilty parties are falling through the cracks, there needs to be more stringent and consistent drug testing with full transparency. The sport is dangerous enough as it is.

Finally...someone who knows American sports!

Baseball is so boring to watch, they probably started allowing juicing to bring some excitement to the game!

[James Hunt]

It's not a sport.
It's a corrupt business covered as a sport. Yes, in that order.

I don’t remember him testing positive for peds either.

But I do vividly remember him ducking ped tests for years with a bunch of lame excuses for why he didn’t want random blood testing

the whole McGuire/Sosa HR race had millions watching. It was epic but disappointing at the same time

Yeah I do remember that as well which is su****ious but you wouldn't be able to unequivocally say Pacquiao used PEDs like Ryan did.

Yeah, it definitely seemed surreal and of course the world found out later why.

Yea the powers that be in baseball tried to play ignorant but they knew what was going on. With Sosa, Mcguuire and Bonds chasing 70 HRs a year baseball was finally back in the spotlight after being overrun by the NBA and NFL.

I've actually fought in the "pro" game. There's nothing professional about boxing.

It's the wild wild west, and the sooner people recognize it, the sooner they'll accept boxing for what it is: the dirtiest "sport" known to man.
