    Can top fighters today pass stringent drug tests with short notice?

    I'm just stunned that are are prize fighters out there who are turning down what I'm assuming is a multi-million dollar payday. I can't help but think there are other reasons than those given.

    Yes it does seem strange that so many are turning down good money and title shots on short notice.

        Nope. That's the reason they keep turning down the fight. Half of the HW top 10 have a previous failed tests.

          But people would rather yell & scream DUCK than to look at the elephant in the room.

              Neither were offered the fight as far as I know Kownacki manager said they already signed up for a fight so they won't be available

                Ask Roy Jones what happens when the career you built based on the unsaid promise of no random testing suddenly gets put under lights.

                    Nope.... That’s why everything now makes sense. Fighters staying silent, turning down great paydays, knowing they would probably fail a drug test. You tell them there is no drug testing and I swear the numbers interested would go up.
