Well said. It should also be mentioned that any sort of drug which aids in muscle-building would clearly give you an advantage on fight night...
Yes, well, the "Floyd only asked for better testing vs. one specific opponent, Pac, in order to get out of the fight" argument topples just like...
By the way, I think Floyd safely boxes to a solid decision against an attacking Mosley. But Shane certainly has a real chance to land something...
I can't believe people are persisting in their refusal to form an opinion because some of the things Manny has said or done are not "outside the...
Yeah, when reading about how it is characterized in print it seems minor. But the former Olympics employee in this documentary I saw (just can't...
I watched a low-budget documentary called "Bigger, Stronger, Faster" about steroid and PED use in America. Of course it dealt with mainly...
I agree with the sentiment that Green fights below his max potential all the time. No sense of urgency is right. He has little focus, but when...
Thank you, I can respect this post. I disagree with much of it, but all I have ever asked (and then persisted to ask) of this forum was to keep...
That was an interesting article. This is a good thread. I wish that someone would do a serious and in-depth study on this with the mindset of...
You've missed my point entirely. The core of my post was to point out that boxing fans every day are making judgments about fighters based on...
Marquez is just not all that bright. But I admit, I would be interested in seeing him fight Manny again. Weight would be an issue though. I'd...
Here we go again. Why is it that when trying to blame Floyd for the demise of the fight, posters are always resorting to tactics like this? You...
Well, let me explain it to you. When you are all juiced up, like Pac, and someone approaches you with a $1 million fight w/stipulations of...
Thank you, thank you, I go on and on about this but you have condensed it skillfully into a stumbling but pointed summary. For some reason, when...
I think in context of what he does and what he claims to be, that Floyd is indeed a coward. Compared to my neighbor who is kind of fat and runs a...
Manny sure is paranoid about his blood being drawn for testing in an "unplanned" or "unannounced" way. And now we know that goes all the way back...
That depends what you mean. Many are illegal to possess without a prescription (e.g. anabolic steroids), and possession can land you in a...
My guess is that it is basically a publicity move to diffuse the situation, which is rapidly getting worse, and making Pac look worse. So the...
Wait a minute now, offering free sex as part of a fight contract would be breaking standard procedure. So we know this offer was invalid and...
Wow, does anyone believe this to be true? That in order to raise public awareness of an event that the public was already keenly aware of the...
I find it funny how people like you fail to see the irony in your Pac apologetics. You are so wrapped up in defense for Pac, you are completely...
From one thread, quoting Victor Conte... From yet another Pac thread, quoting RJJ.. And from this thread... So let me get this straight. The...
Well if the fightnews article quoting Richard Schaefer was credible at all, then Manny did indeed say that he did not want to get blood drawn...
I agree with this. Ultimately boxing fans may well look back at Vitali and see him as one of the best, ever. And it is difficult to argue with...
Are there no decent boxing coaches out there in the gyms of America, or is it just that boxing only attracts the fluke component of athletes here?...
It is possible that diehard boxing fans have seen such nauseating holding in the John Ruiz's of the world and his ilk that perhaps Martinez didn't...
I thought it was a draw. Martinez did control the ring very well in much of the fight, moving athletically and making Paul miss repeatedly. But...
Wow, I would say the exact opposite. To me his mental state was clearly 100% warrior, the guy didn't quit on Clottey with a horrible gash and...
Well said! Carry on then! Can we get 15 pages or is that asking too much?
I don't think I remember a time in my life where I've seen a group of people that were this averse to simply admitting being wrong. Some of you...
