But he did get popped for diuretics in the past so we have the right to be suspicious about him still using them. He also skipped on post-fight drug tests twice.
At 168 he gives up all his advantages, namely size and strength. He'd get bossed by the top 168lbers. This is why he was going to extreme lengths to stay in a division he was struggling to make weight for. Called this ages ago.
He hasn't failed a test since, except for weed. He didn't skip the test for martinez and made weight, have no reason to believe he can't make it without drugs.
I didn't hear about skipped test for Manfredo. I know he supposedly skipped the test for Rubio and Lee. In one he supposedly had given the test pre fight and the officials made an error in communication. That said, again he made and passed all testing for Sergio and only was flagged for weed, so the talk about him not being able to make 160 without diuretics doesn't hold water.
Ward has fought Froch, Kessler, AA, Dawson, ect.... the guy mentions Chavez jr and all hell breaks loose with people shitting on him and bitching about it. Boxing people are fickle as hell atsch
