Thomas Hauser’s take on Canelo’s victory over Kovalev

[Thuglife Nelo]

I don't think it's confirmed that either of 'em deliberately cheated though.

Context is highly used in comparing the past to now. There was no prefight advanced testing in Roy’s time.

FFS we’re talking about “designer drugs” today yet the old school PEDS somehow didn’t exist? We don’t know what fighters could have been on in any days before the fight because there was no protocol for it.

Brian Kenny and ESPN ADMITTED while asking Pac (vs Floyd), “how about 15 days before the fight?”

Are fans of today ******? The fact that many know this and troll Canelo about it only makes Alvarez better. Karma is karma does

What did Roy pop for? Was it that Andro stuff that we could get OTC back then? I used that stuff for a minute and saw some good gains but went off after a bit and lost it all of course.

Ripped Fuel was his claim, containing androstenedione. I ain't done the research to get a full understanding of the circumstances, so I can't offer a personal opinion, but I know there are those who question his explanation.

Hauser is a shill for the establishment agenda. To lionize the protected franchise who will not lose until the DAZN contract terms out. Then Canelo the revenue machine, will be traded in for the next big thing who has yet to be selected.

FOTD is between Canelo and Manny as far as I'm concerned. If we're talking about Ring Magazine FOTD it likely goes to Canelo since Oscar owns Ring.

Funny, but your top 2 choices for FOTD (I think Canelo will win) both lost to Floyd this decade. Maybe you are being just a bit biased.

Yeah I think I remeber reading about ripped fuel containing all kinds of stuff then they changed the formula or mixture or whatever and people stopped noticing the crazy gains.

Roy probably juiced for the Ruiz fight, I wouldn't doubt that at all.

[Floyd is TBE]

Well, Canelo is the first fighter to hold four belts in four different weight classes and not be the best fighter in any of them. So I guess Hauser is technically right when he says no one has ever accomplished what Canelo has.

Hauser represents BWAA. BWAA had Manny FOTD. Never heard of a Ring FOTD

Thomas Hauser is a testicle licker who shouldn't be given a platform.

They were sloppy in concealing PEDS back in the day. The state of Indiana couldn’t do anything regarding their substances from “Ripped Fuel.” Interesting how Roy and Hall both had adverse findings for the same substance and both said they used Ripped Fuel. Coincidence innit...
