    We should start a petition

    As this is such a dangerous sport and in light of recent deaths and events I think every active championship boxer should be tested 365 days year round randomly. people like clenelo having loopholes of 4 months between fights is sickening. I might start a petition on change.org

    Every professional athlete should have to adhere to complete random testing at any given time 365. If you fail a test you get banned for one year. If you fail it a second time you get banned for life.

      It would cost way too much money. Who is going to foot the bill? Especially since most boxers year around aren't going to be able to juice the whole time hence why failed PED tests in lower weight boxers are so rare.

      I just think the rules should be more black and white and a fail is a fail and should be a lengthy ban. It would help make sure it doesn't keep happening. The current set up almost encourages cheating.

          You are a good fan but understand this wont work because in Las Vegas the 2 biggest revenue days of the year are the cinco de mayo and mexican independence day fights.

          If a fight with Floyd, ODH, Tyson or (in the future) Canelo, AJ/Wilder winner has an issue, they will do EVERYTHING to keep the fight going. cancelling means a ton of money lost and everything paid in advance has to be returned.

          Too much legal (and more importantly ILLEGAL) money made on those weekends.

              The abc groups are starting to do this. Idk that a petition will help it along any faster. I think all you can really do is require the abc groups to test all ranked fighters (& title holders) like the USADA monitors UFC athletes with 24/7/365 testing.

              The abc groups should come together on this issue & help each other out cuz plenty of guys are ranked by multiple abc groups so its just double work in some cases to have two or more abc groups testing a guy. Thats what they should be doing, but first of all all of them need to get on board which I don't think has happened yet as 1 or 2 ain't on board still last I recall.

                    I got an idea!!!! Let's get Trump and Congress involved in this. It wouldn't be the first time a US President got involved in regulating professional sports. Remember one thing,..like it or not, Hate Trump or Love him, Trump is a Business man first and foremost. He knows how to get **** done.....
