The thing is Gerald was indeed getting hit with too many shots, but the majority of that came because there was obviously something wrong with Gerald. We don't know exactly when he suffered the head injuries, but it was almost certainly quite early in the fight, as blood clots tend to make a man pass out a bit after first coming about.
Even if someone else exposed him, Gerald would've come back stronger. That straight right of his had a ton of speed and power and great range. And it's very tough to defend against since its so fast and straight. Speculation of course, but imo he was on path for super stardom. He had all the assets. Should've stayed at 160, and not fought someone like Benn at first fight at SMW. Can't blame him though, he was on a killer role, and did clearly knock Benn out in the first round.
And, I dunno, but Benn passing out right before the drug test, thus not having any drug test. He was so pumped and animated after the victory. I completely do not buy it, it looked like bad acting to me. I think he realized if he tested positive he would've been thrown out of boxing and into prison.
