[just the facts]

This eras biggest drug cheats should all be banned from the hall of fame:

Holyfield
Roy Jones
Shane Mosely
Canelo Alvarez
Andre Ward
Floyd Mayweather
Antonio Tarver
James Toney

Today’s cheats:

Charlos
Miller
Ortiz
Povetkin (Stiverne fight, not Wilder fight)
Spence

Low integrity, garbage culture of entitlement.

Speculation aside, when have Ward, Mayweather, the Charlos and Spence been linked to PEDs?

[BodyBagz]

I agree, I’m all for banning cheats forever!

Let’s look at the tally shall we..

Jarrell Miller
Tyson Fury
Canelo Alvarez
Willie Monroe Jr
Cesar Chavez Jr
Hughie Fury
Luis Ortiz
Alexander Povetkin
Dillian Whyte
Luis Nery
Mickey Bey
Alexander Bes*****
Alejandra Jimenez
Heather Hardy


All GUILTY for destroying the integrity of the sport further and degrading what it means to be a champion!

Hopefully they stay clear since no permanent ban would be placed on any of them unless they killed an opponent while on PED!

And not one of them ever inflicted the damage to their opponents that Resto did (that I'm aware of).

The **** will hit the fan in one of two ways for boxing .

1) when A heavyweight household name seemingly clean kills someone in the ring and found to be a drug cheat .

2) when one of very few female fighters who can fight kills one of the many overmatched female fighters with a padded out record who are pushed forward desparetly due to media branding and desperate lack of quality for the few who can fight ..

I've always said this, but I don't necessarily think it has to be a heavyweight as guys like Pacquiao, Mayweather, and Canelo are more famous than any heavyweights in the lower weight classes.

I think especially if a guy kills a guy in one of the glamour weight classes (LW, WW, MW, LHW, HW), then I think it will be a big deal

Half of those guys never tested positive for anything.

I haven't even heard anybody (outside of bitter NSB Queens) accuse Spence, Ward, or Mayweather.

You can't just accuse people of shxt and kick them out the hall of fame.

How?
Are you ok with fighters cheating?
Are you ok with cheaters like Miller getting a 2nd chance from Top Rank?

I don't like fighters who use Ped. I am only referring to the article, there are better approach about this topic, that is all.

[Squ□redCircle34]

Your standards are pretty loose, this is the problem with boxing!

Nothing will change until either a big name fighter is killed cuz his opponent was on PED or the big name fighter kills someone cuz they were on PED!

It should never get to that point, it’s like with this crap going on in the world!

It could’ve been prevented if people would stop watching TV 24/7 and believe everything the news tell them,
Stop being lazy,actually pick up a book, do some research And eat healthy!

[Angeljuice]

This is nonsense. There are rules in sport and only when the rules are broken dues cheating take place. Being poor is not in the rule book. Nor is having up to date equipment or a good trainer. Get real.

I was taking it to an extreme for a reason. Society and individuals change and what is considered normal or the standard changes too (I don't know what the future society will believe so I took it to a rich Vs poor resolution as a hypothetical).

What is considered cheating nowadays was fine 50 years ago so "Rules being broken" is always up for change and debate.

If the rule is if you have "X" in your system you face an instant lifetime ban, what if somebody else puts "X" in your system to get you banned? What if "X" is present in a contaminated product?

It has to be decided case by case, blanket rules are bs.

I don't remember the outrage over Chavez Jr. they just moved states and had the fight anyways. What about Dillian Whyte? I agree **** Miller, but lets **** all the cheats.

Toney is different. He was prescribed something for a torn bicep, and pissed hot because of it. He wasn't taking PED's. The medication actually ruined his thyroid gland.


Wait, Tarver, Mayweather and Ward are cheats too? Interesting.

[Smash]

This sport ain't for the soft

I think it is decided case by case, as is. And in this case this guy was found guilty and labeled as a cheater. In other cases they accept the tainted meat theory, or contaminated substance theory.

In 50 years of the rule does change, then all fighters will be able to do what they want, so it won’t be cheating anymore. It that isn’t the case right now so the playing field is not level when someone decides to do this.
