They are presumed to give you that extra edge but there is no PROOF that they make a boxer better. I saying there is no conclusive undeniable eviidence that PEDs make a boxer better
And yes it is the year of the pitcher in Baseball but there is no PROOF that it is because of PEDs.
Honestly putting plaster in wraps is one of the worst, most dangeruos things to do in sport
Just name something that is as bad as putting plaster into wraps on any sport

Wow... Seems like I'm talking to myself. Nobody is on or replying... Wish I was on when everyone was going crazy on eachother.

Just a small side note before I logoff for the night. I think there was a study done by Boxing Illustrated a while back for a Dempsey fight about Plaster of Paris (I know it's not what Tony used since they only found, "Ingredients of Plaster of Paris" in the inserts) and how it failed to hold up under punching power. I think they did some funky stuff to the wraps and tried them on a dummy or something. Not trying to justify Tony, just thought about that when everyone started trying to figure which is worst.

My opinion: Both are not legal, both are bad as eachother. Punching power/Speed/Overall Enhancement from PED's is the same as a hardened surface under your wraps and behind the padding of your gloves from Hardened Inserts.

Shame on Texas for allowing this fight to happen. Margacheato doesn't deserve to be in America let alone fight here. Simply a disgrace to boxing allowing this sleeze to ooze into Dallas and fight.

My hero?? He isn't my hero. He's one of my favorite fighters but I go with a benefit of doubt approach before anything else.

Some of the Greats have ****ed up big time as well so please don't give me this bullshit on credibility and such sorts.

And my point has very little to do with Margarito. If you would read closer it has to do with the blow this would have to National Coordination and the movement to a National Commission. I have my opinions about Margarito that I have shared at other times but that is not the point. The point is even if you give Margarito the benefit of the doubt this is like candy. Short term gratification and lots of cavities later.

texas commission-ners saw the color of money....
i would watch the fyt though.
hopefully donaire-montiel will be co-main event!!

he should have to go back to cali to be re-instated. but the even bigger farce, is two men that have NEVER fought at 154 and are not recognized as contenders at 154, are fighting for the the 154lbs strap. and one guy thats still suspended is getting a title fight???????????????? this is surely as nutty as it gets. this is a true dis-service to boxing. this type of title grab should infuriate all boxing fans.

Yup. The title garbage is so sad. I don't know how either one of them can accept the fight and keep his head held high.

Jerry Jones went and talked to some people to make things happen. Jones then went back and told Arum $$$ request for a Margarito license and there you have it. Jones has plenty of pull and clout in Texas this was easy for Jones.

exactly. Margs purse went from prob $2mil to about $800k once the commissioners got their take.
