Boxers who were/are drug users. Recreational drugs only.

No assumptions. Just the ones that were cought using it/ admited using it and so on.

Hatton-Coke
Whitaker-Coke
De La Hoya- Coke
Floyd Sr - Crack

List more

 

In the 80's probably 1/3 of well known fighters did coke at some point.

 

Leonard - Coke
Nunn - Coke
Pryor - Crack
Benitez - prob did everything

 

From this i'd gather cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Tyson was into coke. He also tested positive for herb after the Golota fight.

 

Holyfield must be on viagra. Does that count ?

 

Why not? It's your thread.

 

Theres no way that fight should have been called a NC. I'd like to know how the fuck weed is a performance enhancing drug?

 

well we know reed fired up some of texas's finest with augustus. ouma smokes heavily, delvalle too.

ive heard vargas was smoking crack before the fight with wright.

 

Lennox - WEED.

Seen!

 

:laughing: seriously, you read my mind

yeah, nothing brings out the beast from within like SMOKING WEED

 

waiting for someone to say that Curry and Griffith smoked pole

 

curry another gay cokehead

 

Kind of reminds me of an article I read. Before the Leonard-Hearns rematch, Hearns and Steward accused Leonard of being on the juice.

The NSAC said they didn't test for steroids, but for other substances (like cocaine and weed).

Apparently to the NSAC, steroids wasn't worth testing for, but the amazing PED known as cannabis was.

 

nothing, I mean nothing, can get a guy in better shape for a fight than sitting back with some Doritos and smoking a fat blunt... Ray Arcel taught me that back when I used to spar at Gleason's in 1944

I know this game, brother

 

Weed should be taken off the banned substance list, it's ridiculous to consider it performance enhancing in any way. I know this is the boxing forum, but Nick Diaz also tested for weed and had a win changed to a NC. It was his fight with Gomi.

 

Yeah it's pretty stupid. My guess is it got on there in the first place simply because it's an illegal substance, not because anybody believes it's performance enhancing. (could be wrong though)

I don't think you even need to even remove it from the banned substances list, just don't bother testing for it.

 

It's amazing that Livingstone Bramble's record isn't littered with "NC"

 

Arguello
Leon Spinks
Barney Ross

 

Tobacco?

 

Most underrated post of the year!

 

Painkillers, smack, whatever he could get his hands on I guess.

He got hooked after a war injury. Wrote about it in his book.

 

If anyone can get some good coke please mail it to me.

 

No. He got hooked on Morphine after being severely injured in the Pacific in WW2. Hollywood made a movie which made him out to be some sort of a drug-addled bum.

 

Pinklon Thomas & Michael Dokes both fell short of their full potential due to drug issues.

 

Ahhhh.....the 1980's, those were the days. Boxing only got the junkies, all the sober guys were playing football.:laugh11:

 

:wack:

 

Bruno was on the anti-depressants, I never heard of him being a coke fiend. Calzaghe and Hatton both snorted like Shergar.
