People still say Roy was great even though he had banned substances, people say Shane was great even though he had taken banned substances...
Now Tarver.... Plus Bhop did not want the test when Pascal asked (fact).

Thoughts please brothers

I'd argue the bold. The tests were not apart of the contract. Pascal just threw that out there to stir up controversy after the contract was signed sealed & delivered.

Well I'd imagine earlier in his career if he had been caught and continued fighting after that like RJJ and Shane did he'd still be considered great. What sucks is if it were to happen now it would put his entire career in question.

Considering the circumstances, him being a 45+ year old guy competing/succeeding at the highest level, i doubt id be surprised if he got caught. Sometimes common sense can go a long ways.

But with that said, he hasnt been caught, and im not one to condemn somebody off speculation.

Wasn't Roy caught with something only banned by the IBF, and something you get over the counter?????

I wouldn't be surprised at anyone really.

Bh gives hopes to all us oldies, but one thing about BH is his fitness. How is possible to have that fitness?

I'd be very surprised if it was ever proved and yes it would damage his legacy massively. Any kind of cheating tarnishes your achievements.
