        they are still cheats...

        100m sprinters will still be faster than the majority of people on this planet... so if they took drugs its ok, because there are not many people who can do what they can do?

        gaining a upper hand in any shape or form, is disgraceful

          It is disgraceful but what I'm saying is you can still enjoy watching them do their thing. Tyson biting Holyfield's ears off is the most disgraceful thing a fighter has ever done in a boxing ring, to me it's worse than quitting or intentional fouls, but I can still watch his fights and appreciate his talent.

            No body really blames any fighter that gets caught its just a black mark for there fights but no matter what they still get credit.
            Also do you have any Idea what they took? The effects weren't that serious ecspecially jones and toneys helped him cut weight.

                Because JAMES TONEY was a great fighter. If you don't know why, or you disagree, then you are dumb. No point in debating the matter.

                  there accomplishments mean nothing, they are a disgrace to the sport

                  fact
                  Toney has real skills that you don't get by taking steroids. But his lazyness made him go to a short cut. I'm not making an excuse for him cause he victimized himself.

                  Toney is one of the biggest waste of talent cause he could had done so much more in the sport if he had applied himself.

                  All he is know is a loud mouth fat man

                      OP is correct.

                      Boxing fans are way behind other sports in their acceptance of cheating and corruption.

                      They're waking up though, slowly but surely...

                      Shout out to Floyd Mayweather for getting the ball rolling, maybe that will be his positive legacy for the sport.
