[knockoutkid]

the bbbofc should lifetime ban thompson or anyone caught elsewhere.

I'm pulling for Steve in this fight, and good for him for threatening to sue any opponent who tests positive. More fighters should do that.

Any fighter that tests positive for PEDs should be banned 5 years minimum and criminally prosecuted.

Fury?? he looks like a big dumb farm boy I see no sign of PED's. Joshua is what you look like when you take a ton of PED's

not necessarily.

people think of the "bodybuilder" look from steroids but this isnt the case. look at the endurance cyclists for example.

[turnedup]

People always assume PED's are for muscles. And what to one man be a PED to others its medication. There are legal medications with greater effect than illegal stimulants. Try throwing a hundred punches sober and then take some adhd medication and try again. You'll see what I mean.

[Straightener]

He's gotta be talking about Fury in particular. Nobody has a physique like that without a huge amount of PED's.

How can you claim fury looks like he's on peds

What happened with Tony? Last I heard he and his team/doctors stated they informed everyone about whatever he was taking, haven't heard anything about it since then

[The Gambler1981]

I would assume yes there is because in boxing everybody is looking for that little edge given how unforgiving the sport is.

Also with the way the sport is set up even if a guy gets caught up what really happens to them. If the penalties aren't harsh enough, the benefits are so obvious that plenty of guys would. Then it is a viscous cycle because if one guy thinks another is possibly getting that edge they will want to keep up with the Jones'

NORTH BERGEN, N.J. – Steve Cunningham claimed Tuesday that there is a “massive” steroid problem in boxing, particularly within the heavyweight division.

“I’ve fought guys on steroids before and beat ‘em,” Cunningham said before an open workout at Global Boxing Gym. “I know that for a fact. I’m not saying any names, but boxing’s a small community. Everybody talks. If you’re in training camp, everybody’s trading stories. … We know steroid use is rampant in boxing. A lot of people know. Everybody should know. Guys is out here killing their wives for $200,000 in life insurance. You don’t think people are going to cheat for a possible shot at a heavyweight world title?” [Click Here To Read More]

Mayweather was right all along.

[Showtime..]

They're probably all using but the most prominent examples would be:

Wlad
Wilder
Joshua
Takam
Jennings
Cunningham himself
Povetkin

Plus all the other known offenders like Wach, Tarver, Briggs etc.

Haye was definitely using during his time in the sport.

Nah, Takam is pure Afrika. No PEDs(at least not synthetic lol) there.

[The Hammer]

Poor sport Cunningham has a ready-made excuse if Tarver knocks him out.

"Oh he was on PEDs"

Usually it's "Oh I was robbed" even when he goes into his shell and runs like a frightened chicken.



I hope Tarver knocks the whiny crybaby out.
