Evan Fields AKA Evander Holyfield

[KhalidAMuhammad]

He is a confirmed steroid cheat of the highest order, his entire career is tainted. Why is it so rarely mentioned when discussing his career, but when evaluating Pacquaio (of whom there is exactly no evidence of cheating at all) it is brought up constantly?

Bump bump bu

maybe because he never actually failed a drug test?

He probably gets away with it because he is such a nice guy. How do you know he used it throughout his entire career anyway?

It seems to be the case with all confirmed drug cheats. No one ever wants to talk about the actual confirmed cheaters in the sport about their cheating, but instead they'd rather point fingers at someone who's never failed a test. What I find odd is most of the people that point fingers at Manny are fans of the actual confirmed drug cheats in the sport. Their mentality is simply this: "I don't care about drug cheaters as long as it's not Pacquiao."

True.

Mosley should have been given way more punishment for admitting he cheated with steroids, epo, etc. but very little is even said about it. The guy he cheated was even his business partner for years! Sort of makes you wonder about things doesn't it . . . .

But Pacquaio never 'failed' a drug test either. I like Holyfield and I respect him as a fighter.. but out of the heavyweights 90's-Current. Vitali,Holyfield,Briggs,Morrison, (4 high profile ones) have been linked to steroids of some kind throughout their careers. 3 of the 4 have actually been caught. Holyfield was never caught and that's why he don't have a black mark. Also nobody talks about how Morrison was caught either or how Vitali was caught prior to Olympics or how Briggs was caught.... honestly.. I think the steroid issues is more talked about regarding the lower weights.

This is what bugs me about boxing now, everyone accusing other people of cheating to the point where all wins are tainted.

No fighter anymore can just win and get his credit, some wise guy out there will throw dirt on him just because of was rooting for the guy who lost.

But nowadays it even worse, they dont wait till the fight over to accuse people and taint the win, they do a pre "in case my fighter lose" accuse, so just in case there fighter lose they already had the smear campaign firing on all cylinders.

Shame really.

Boxing will never be the old Man sport it used to be.

Too many skinny jeans, insecure fan boys out there for that to happen.

I think people only associate it with old Holyfield trying to hang on to make some $$$.
