....How boxing fans and especially the ones on here, give fighters a pass for taking peds just because they are "past prime". Eric Morales hardly got any backlash when testing positive for Garcia 2 rematch. Shane Mosley and James Toney got a pass too.

How the hell do u know if a fighter never took peds during their prime years just because they got busted late in their careers. For all we know Morales, Shane, Toney could have been on peds from the beginning and only got caught when they did. The testing system is so weak, you cant say they must've been clean back then cause they never tested positive.

People just dont want to think of their fav fighters being cheaters and in turn their whole legacy questioned. All I want to say is if people give Peterson and Berto a lot of slack, then the same should be applied to all fighters, Prime or not irrespective of circumstances when they got caught.

i think it's more like, we move on, and dont need to be addressing it every damn day

but maybe there should be a law where these guys names have to be legally changed to something containing "PED/roids" etc, you know, to let people know they are cheaters and hopefully it'd help you sleep better at night

Meh, they all take some sort of PEDs. Live and let live. If it came out today that GGG/Matthysse/Thurman/Pac/Floyd/Broner/Garcia were all taking roids, it wouldn't shock me one bit, and if they're all taking them, whatever.

On a moral level, I don't agree with it, and think it should be banned, because the fighters of the past like Sugar Ray Robinson was fighting week after week, month after month without PEDs, so it kind of tarnishes the history aspect of boxing for me personally.

On a side note. I don't think combat sport athletes should be taking any form of PED. When your body craps out on you, that's it. Don't enhance your levels in order to beat the crap out of another individual.
