    How come evan fields get a free pass in the face of indisputable evidence of him being a steroid and growth hormone cheat? How many losses would he have had if he was clean...20? 30 maybe? I asked victor conte on twitter whether he thought holy was a career hormone cheat...he replied with a resounding yes....

    One of the greatest fighters of all time, criminally underrated. Never in a dull fight. I think that outweighs the drug problem.

    I recall he was hanging around body builder Lee haney when he moved up from cw, a big steroid user.

    Boxing fans don't seem to give a **** about PEDs, it's a sad situation.

    I'm afraid I have to agree, though he has never actually been convicted so I generally try to reserve judgement.

    Don't let Mo see this thread. The good Doctor will not be pleased.

    If he did them or not I don't know much about the situation but with the heart he had he's still going to be on top.

    Yes he was a great, but for me he was tainted, a walking chemical experiment. Would he have beat the likes of bowe without the needles in his ass? I doubt it

    The same goes for jones.... No man has 6 times the acceptable limit of test in his blood without the help of a doctor...just seems people are happy to brush these incidents under the carpet when they should be hung out to dry

    Evan did more juice than a stable of Mexican racehorses.
