    But its not about who I believe are or aren't. That's not the point at all. The point is, if you think every single fighter in the top 10 of every division is or has doped, then that's your right to think that but imo its as off base as believing that most of them aren't. And if theres even a minority of fighters that are 'clean', they deserve to compete in a 'clean' sport. (I use clean loosely here.)

    To answer your question, if I had to pick certain fighters that are/have been clean Id go with

    Alvarado
    Danny Garcia
    Matthysse
    Guerrero

    among others.... but really, its stupid and pointless to sit here and list who I do and don't think are on PEDS. That's not the point.

    too true so pathetic. They should stop all this talk about who will do testing and how the contract says it will be and make mandatory testing for every fight by the same company all the time.

    Garcias team is adamant about ped testing.

    @ 5:50

    and most fighters undergo testing anyways (remember when Salido tested positive against Guerrero) so they don't feel that they need to ask for extra testing. Because they assume what the testing they undergo, is enough. (Guerrero, Alvarado)

    Other fighters might not give a **** (Matthysse), that doesn't mean they don't deserve clean peers.

    Kirk.. the tests are joke, especially for rich athletes.

    How can it be so hard to understand?

    :roll:

    I have already said that the current testing is not up to par. That is a direct result of the sporting world, and boxing, not truly interested in curbing doping.

    What I am saying, is that I would rather see investment into better tests, and much much higher penalties for those that test positive, rather than, the road to open doping.

    It is what it is.

    Fair enough.

    But as a result, they can also be skipped over when being considered as an opponent. Which hurts them a lot more then it does mayweather.

    So they can tell Mayweather to F.O all they want, and they miss out on the biggest paycheck, the biggest fight/opportunity, and the hardest test (no pun intended) of their career. Basically the reason they are in the sport.

    All because they don't want to take a test? Or some misplaced notion of 'pride'? ...... meh.
