    I think it’s acceptable to give fighters a second chance after they get caught once so long as they serve out the punishment they’re given. However, there should be no third chances, and honestly I agree that it’s a farce that Miller is fighting again barely even a year after he blew his second chance so spectacularly. Sports are too soft on PED abuse in general but it’s especially inexcusable in boxing where the risk of injury is so much more severe.
    He also failed a drugs test while kickboxing in 2014 and got banned for 9 months...

    I'm not sure what he has to do to get kicked out of contact sport altogether?

      Call me cynical but the only interest I have in Miller is seeing him get flopped badly.

        Im curious what the "real" Big Baby looks like in the ring; Chances are we haven't seen it. He doesn't have a whole lotta power - his advantages were his high volume punching, swarming style combined with his size. He hasn't faced any power punchers in his career, the biggest ****er he faced is Gerald Washington? We saw what happened with Kownacki, a high volume fighter without much power faced someone who could counter with power....

        Without the PEDs does that punch output and cardio go away? If so, is he anything more than Jermaine Franklin?

          Love nothing more than watching him take a bad beating. I do feel for this Forrest kid whatever/whoever he is. Been plucked to make miller look good no doubt...

            You know you've got an image problem when Hearn turns you down and takes the moral high ground haha.

            He just represents everything that's wrong with the game, he's nailed on to re-offend. The sooner he gets snozzed the better.

                The WBC ruled The Conteh/Saad Muhammad fight a no contest, so why is it still down as a Conteh loss in the record books?

                    Why is he allowed to fight was that the question. Because it will get eye-balls on the screen that is why. It gets people talking gets a few articles written, some pods will bounce it around. come on Tris you know why he is fighting. Is it right is it wrong ? It is Boxing right now. They need some names on the cards. I know they are testing for Covid right now but ? What about drug testing during these fights ? That I do not know not to say they will not test Big Boy maybe maybe not. Why are they putting fighters sitting in First Second and Third in there division and fighting suspect .500 boxers? is that criminal? Did you not get the message Tris We are getting boxing again Arum said for us to shut up and be greateful. Did you not hear that? No disrespect but most of us know the ansere to the quesion already.

                      Boxing is all about money and if there is an opportunity for Miller to land a shot vs a Joshua, fury or wilder, they'll gladly look past the cheating. Just like Margarito cheated and was rewarded with a pac fight 2 fights later, or Canelo was caught cheating and earned about 30 mil vs ggg just months later, or Chavez Jr who was already a previous offender, refused to test and still landed the jacobs fight.
