Comments Thread For: Froch: I Agree With DeGale, PED Cheats Should Get Life Bans

[Boxingfanatic75]

Great idea! Only never busted fighters allowed. So letīs see.. top ten failures, HW: Fury, Whyte, Povetkin, Ortiz. CW actually looks quite clean, LHW and SMW also (could be wrong, going by memory). MW Canelo, BJS. And so on. And how many top ten "clean" guys are doing 365 VADA? Iīm not saying I disagree with Froch but his idea would temporarily kill the financial side of the sport. No easy solutions here, but at least the rules should be the same for every single top 30 fighter: 365 VADA or no fights sanctioned.

His idea would wipe out 50%

With most fighters banned it would be left to promoters and managers to take up the slack by fighting each other. They only gorge themselves on fun party boosters. Bob Arum against Shelly Finkel would be quite something, with the old guys using old time 3-ounce gloves of course. Couldn’t expect them to don anything as heavy as 8 or 10 and be able to get their fists back into the guard position after shooting their load.

It all comes down to money.

Froch is so sore. He is overshadow by the other british boxing names like AJ, Fury, Khan, etc and he's trying so hard to stay relevant and beg for some attention. Does anyone remember when he was active to have such a radical anti-peds approach?

Drugs are one thing but illegal handwraps and lose or no padding in gloves is worst. That needs to be jail time.

I think a ban of 2 years is sufficient but you get caught again then ban for life.

Then don't take money working for Sky when you work on broadcasts for fights with like Dillian Whyte..

Says the guy who was Matchroom's big star at the time - therefore had mega protection from Eddie and Co - and refused to take his hand wraps off and hand them over the the BBBofC after destroying Lucian Bute like he was nothing. Not to mention he has the same trainer as super clean Anthony Joshua in Rob McCraken.

Come to think of it, how many Matchroom fighters have ever tested positive for PEDs?

This is a ******-ass comment. Nothing else needs to be said.
