Boxers who aren't doping

[PRINCEKOOL]

I think the large majority of boxers are clean, it is just that boxing is now going through the fall out of doping 'That sports such as Track and Field athletics, Cycling went through this many decades ago'. Boxing is only just going through these fall out stages now, due to boxing fans being more educated and more Olympic styled drug testing protocols being implemented in the game.

I believe everyone is doping
I know some guys haven’t been caught , but imo it’s just that , they haven’t been caught
Ask any gymhead , what’s the first thing he was offered when he started the gym
I’ll give you a hint , it ain’t no smoothie

Golovkin is certainly clean, for one.

QRD on what he did?

He publicly promoted the enrollment to a year-long random drug test... Nobody in the sport did that at the time...

Many boxers followed afterwards...

[_Rexy_]

Donaire, Wilder, Inoue, Bivol and the Ukrainian triplets.


But I actually believe that most fighters are clean.

No they don’t.

For every contender and champion there are tons of club fighters and journeymen who have no incentive to do this — it would be wasted money.

Go to a club show sometime where the headliner might be an 8-3 guy against a 6-4 guy (and the rest of the card may be like 2-3 vs. 6-7, or even an undercard where the 11-0 prospect is fighting someone who is 4-12 ... out of those at most the 11-0 guy is possibly doping.

Go to a regular commercial gym. A 24 hour fitness. An LA fitness, whatever.

If regular people are using PEDs/Steroids/etc., it's not uncommon to believe professional athletes are as well.

It's really not even difficult to get some.

You'd be surprised how common it's becoming.

Bro, he's a commie. They all dope over there

I like your politics...other than that not much else lol

"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."
For confidence in a drug testing agency, there has to be complete autonomy from the fighter, the alphabets and the state commissions, who all have a vested interest in the results.
Imagine MLB's Mike Trout having a personal contract with USADA, the way FM did. It's fukin laughable.
Until there's a credible person as Boxing Czar, who has final authority, all drug testing just isn't credible (and that's not even going into the science of beating the tests.)

Good post bro...basically sums up my sentiments here

Fair points...I hope you guys are correct

Yep my thoughts are similar...good posts

Golovkin is certainly clean, for one.

I would wager he is...only caveat would be if he feels he needs an extra edge now that he is getting older, and if some younger guys coming up are doping he may say 'f it, why not'...but I would still wager that he is clean.

He publicly promoted the enrollment to a year-long random drug test... Nobody in the sport did that at the time...

Very cool thanks for the info man..nice to see there are still some honest guys out there...some guys who beat their chest too much about how clean they are, are a little suspect...but I can't imagine a boxer really pushing for that unless he was clean...or really arrogant lol

Except they have a democratic system now.
