      I would not be suprised in the least, I have gotten way past the PED thing (although in a sport like boxing such a thing is way worse then in baseball). I do not look at athletes like gods, anyone that looks at athletes in such a way are bound to get disapointed.

        Me too. I think I'm more amused by the posters who swear it's not possible their favorite fighter is using. Not only is it possible, it's probable.

          That's because boxing forums like this are filled with people who are less of being fans of the sport, but fans of fighters more so.

          Grown men hero-worshipping people who they've never met because they're good at sports. Not looking for a sport to love, but looking for a **** to suck.

          Aren't you supposed to grow out of this **** when you reach a certain age, usually somewhere in the teens?

          I wouldn't like it if the fighters I like were on PEDs. But it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

          They're probably all over pro sports, and no, most pro athletes aren't gonna say "no, I honor honesty and playing fair over winning" when given the opportunity to take a PED that will most likely not be tested for.

              Well me neither, but aren't you supposed to grow out of the hero-worshipping of athletes at a certain age and just moreso enjoy the sport itself?

                LOL...yea but I have a feeling that certain age hasn't been reached for a lot of posters.

                I remember when Jose Louis Lopez floored Ike Quartey. I almost cried

                  I did when i met an athlete I really liked when I was twelve and when i talked to him I realized I was more intelligent then he was. Never looked at athletes the same ever since.
