IS everyone content with the fact your favorite boxer is likely taking something?

Illegal, substance to increase performance?

The entire heavyweight division- i'll bet a good 80 percent of pro boxers take something for weight cuts alone.

I think the NFL is the same. Fans should understand this before they crucify someone who is found using steroids.

Until they fail a test you can't accuse them of that based on assumptions.

I can and will. I think with proper testing, more than half the boxing roster would test positive.

Ariza already has said similar things in the past.


I mean ****, peter quillin asking him for steroids like he was asking to borrow his boat for the weekend....

All the bacne in the lower weight classes. Hulkez, pacman with ariza, danny jacobs coming back from cancer over night.

I think most boxers take stuff for the weight cuts.

That's a great way to justify cheating...."Well, who cares everyone is doing it"

It's the domino effect and it's real. Just ask cyclists and olympic athletes, once they find out some of their competition use a performance enhancing substance, they mentally can't cope with the advantage and seek out the drugs themselves.

yes its just the truth, lots of athletes use PEDs, and just because they havent been caught doesnt mean they are clean, thats what ped masking is for.

id say 50/50 chance any fighter doing something

im even a big floyd fan and admit that his testing is very su****ious, he announced opponents late and literally gets to decide when the testing begins for a camp, he basically owns USADA

Yup, it's all sports. MLB has a rich doping history. NBA flies under the radar because brain injuries aren't likely, but don't be fooled - it's everywhere.

VADA is year-round and was implemented 2 years ago (aka no cycling). Not surprised if we see either 1. more boxers getting popped or 2. a sudden decline in WBC champs

I agree. DO you know what kind of testing Wilders camp does? Why are they suddenly catching everyone?

Some do not everyone. The problem with your mindset is that you'll question every athlete that puts on great performances. You mentioned Jacobs, it's really silly to think somebody like Jacobs wouldn't be able to come back to boxing and be successful without juicing.
