Comments Thread For: Kevin Mitchell Backs Mayweather Jr. on Drug Testing Issue

[John Hue]

This gy is funny......somehow British boxing is immune to the cancer of PED's in sports........sure.

There are plenty of UK athletes that have been on gear. Dwain Chambers for sure he got caught and Linford Christie although he never got caught. Recently there have been su****ians about David Haye using drugs.
This is not a UK vs the rest of the world thing. Drug and PED abuse is rife in sport in general. Mitchell is right boxing NEEDS proper testing to keep it clean more so than other sports because some drugged up superman can do more damage and brain damage.

The reason that British fighters (apart from a few) usually get smashed by Americans is they are protected and face only a few styles of fighters.
Yes only a few fighters can go up successfully in weights and be successful, hences there isn't a million 5 world weigh champions but some can do it. Mayweather himself went up from a low weight.

Mitchell is generally talking sense here, but American fans are taking it as a dig at them. I don't think its fair to say Americans are worse than any other country, because we don't know, but taking nationalities out of it, I think PED use in boxing is a lot more widespread than most people imagine, and has been for years. Like Mitchell says, RJJ, Toney, Briggs and Mosley all tested positive or have been exposed in the last few years. Obviously they all deny doing it knowingly, but that is what every drug cheat in the history of sport always says. I'm a big Roy jones fan., but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he knowingly juiced. Same goes for Mosely. The fact is is that boxing is so poorly organised as a whole, with no major ruling governing body, it has been so easy to get away, so fighters have been taking advantage of that for years.

the thing here is that why not let the NSAC do there job? the GAYweathers are accusing with baseless accussation....im pretty sure that the NSAC are doing there job well.

Just take the test and give the fans what they want... ?????????

Yo Jtig you can tell by the way dude writes that he can't talk so his ass is totally on mute over here. :-)

"British fighters such as ricky hatton were beating Americans at their right weights but when we go up a couple of weights we struggle for strength"

The only american fighter ricky beat at the opponent's natural weight was paulie (who sucks anyway) ...a prime ricky hatton would not have been able to beat a 22 yr old devon alexander...he was wayyy overated

Umbeaten British lightweight Kevin Mitchell is backing Floyd Mayweather Jr. on the issue of drug testing in boxing. Mitchell has advised to Manny Pacquiao to accept the Olympic-style drug testing demands of Floyd Mayweather Jr. to prove to the world that he's a clean fighter. [Click Here To Read More]

Wtf is he ranting about, Pac is not even American......plus if he really did back up Floyd, then he would demand the test for all his fights too. Oh but hes confident British boxers dont do it, so he will just take thier word right.
