Kellerman on PEDs

[iamboxing]

They should just allow PEDs and put all these drug testing bodies out of business

You know...I don't wanna sound like an apologist for PED users -- and I'm not just talking boxing, but in professional sports across the board -- when you're talking potentially millions of dollars at stake...I can see why and how it would/could heavily intrigue a professional athlete.

Let's face it, at the end of the day, for the vast majority of professional athletes, it ain't about the glory or the legacy. It's about money. And we're talking literally millions of dollars that separate guys at the top levels of their sport from the lower levels.

For instance, if you're a backup offensive lineman in the NFL, you may only be making a million a year. But a starter? A good one? That guy may be making literally ten times as much as the guy riding the bench.

I mean if PEDs were the edge one needed to be the difference between 5 to 10 million a year, versus 750K to 1 mil a year...that would be awfully tempting, wouldn't it?

I'm not disagreeing at all, there's always attempts to gain an advantage, whether in supplement form, or illegal ways. Is it tempting to try to compete with one who is juicing, knowing you're clean and that increases your likelihood of losing, getting, injured, etc? Absolutely. What people don't understand here is they pick and choose who is and isn't using because it's their favorite fighter...they need to face facts that they likely are using something.

Oh yeah no question bud and I wasn't trying to imply that you were disagreeing by the way

I know this is a very controversial route to take but it would once and for all level the playing the field

I truly believe that Max is on PEDs. Without them he'd be running from gym to gym using his phone to record interviews like Elie does.

At least Elie gets the real scope on things & interviews while max says what he is & isn't allowed to say on hbo.....You can tell how max's tune changed as soon as he got on hbo right after the Floyd vs #38 fight. Even when he said who would you rather be in this fight, when Hopkins fought joke calslappy he was saying that B-Hop was landing the clean effective punches but "they" didn't like max saying that.....

All these top athletes (all sports) are on some form of performance enhancing drugs.

Saw the title and Initially thought you meant Kellerman was on PEDS. Amazing what being up 28 hours straight will do to you. You know how the story goes, when you are younger It Is not a problem, unfortunately I am no longer younger.

Boxing is almost to the point MLB was years ago....be su****ious of everybody.

When Floyd announced he wanted to clean up boxing, it was the perfect diversion. Make people THINK you want to clean up the sport when all you really want to do is divert attention away from yourself and onto others. Perfect smoke and mirrors job. No doubt USADA is corrupt, as is NSAC.

Pacquiao is the epitome of ped cheat.....
