Why does Ortiz get a pass for being a x2 steroid cheat?

    Hey can you clarify what two fights he was busted for steroids with? I only know of one particular fight.

    In any other context, I can see relating bananas to a brother as being racist.

    When the dude calls himself King Kong though, can't really get upset when someone keeps going with that schtick.

    Who's giving the dude a pass? But I mean, are fighters not allowed to make mistakes? Some fighters really aren't aware of what they're taking during camp and put their trust in the coaches and team. If he continues to test clean, I don't have a problem With Ortiz.

    Whilst I do not condone the use of PEDs I personally do think plenty of HW are on the stuff. Take PEDs out the game and a lot of your favourite HWs disappear. Look at Joshua's body that amount of muscle with hardly any body fat is not ordinary. Klitiscko has always had a dodgy body even at 40 he rocks a six pack and very low body fat. Briggs is clearly on the stuff to be 46 with all that lean muscle. Fury has been busted, Povetkin has too, Haye just failed to sign onto the WBC vada testing programme doesn't that seem fishy?.

    In the past you've had Mosely, Holyfield, mayweather and the iV scandal, pacquaio and his Ariza shakes so many great fighters have had questionable PED run ins.

    I say that to say this I think Ortiz is wrong to take PEDs and potentially endanger a fighters life by cheating but when winning is the difference between feeding your family and not getting hurt in the ring you have to think a lot more guys are on it than just the few that have been caught in history.

    It's a shame that we didn't do enough to catch Pac, but we did catch Margarito, Ortiz and Povetkin. We have to be a lil more vigilant in catching these cheats.

    You are mentally ill, seek medical help. You are obsessed with the great one.

    Ortiz only started getting tested after he got busted twice to prove to the world that he is NOW clean, which nobody with half a brain cell will ever believe.

    It's a bit of a stretch to bring bananas into this thread IMO. That poster has run with an ape motif for an obvious reason and is hiding behind the King Kong moniker as a shield.

    He's previously gone around labelling Andre Ward a thug which love him or loath him he certainly isn't. Why did he claim this? Because Ward had a contract dispute resolved in a court. Yeah sounds real thuggish to me...

    Do not make up lies. I have never called Ward a thug, though I wouldn't disagree with the sentiment considering how he conducts himself.

    Did you see how he behaved towards Kovalev when Sergey tried to act the gentleman?

    I'm not saying he should but will answer why.

    1. He's exciting
    2. He's better than some champions, Wilder for sure
    3. He's highly avoided.
    4 ) He's undefeated.

    Yes but you don't expect that kind of behaviour by someone who refer's to themselves as 'The Son of God''.

    I don't mind seeing a mean streak in Ward, nice for a change. Duva has been bashing Ward for a while he was probably taking his anger out on Kovalev.

    Of course you agree with that sentiment, you used that term multiple times when you were posting as Primal Pledge.
