    The whole game is corrupt, its about politics and business with money driving the whole system.

    But is this a lance armstong type whistle blow, like say 2011 pacquiao was found to be on peds. The most beloved boxer caught cheating woukd you want to blow the whistle?

    Not saying I think he is or was, to be the guy to snitch would be crazy.

    I'm just thinking of the media shi storm and you would be at the center of it. Not sure I'd want to be that guy, but I'm all for cleaning up the sport.

    If I had evidence for instance that had Bob Arum paying off judges or Golden Boy hiding drug test results the world would know.

    DelaHoya fought with an illegal brace around his left thumb for years, Roach exposed him in the Pac fight but it never went anywhere.

    Why you think DelaHoya always left his left glove on after fights, Google images post fight fight pics. Also YouTube had the interview.

    That's not the question. The question is who would listen, who would care?

    It's like that Bert Sugar line from The Great White Hype: "You have sullied the great name of boxing."

    Everyone who knows and cares about boxing knows it is corrupt. Everyone who doesn't like boxing knows it's corrupt.

    Really? I thought the only issue was that he (Oscar) was putting rolled up pieces of gauze between his knuckles on top of the pad.

    Think that's the bottom line, Sp. For all the courage it's taken whistle-blowers ta step-up, they've all been vilified, unable ta get work -- left penniless-- rather than being rewarded.
