    I mean, if there's a possibility that the positive test was a result of eating contaminated meat, why would any boxing fan want to see a fighter get banned for something like that? It sounds like you're just assuming that Canelo fans would behave like Golovkin fans have behaved today upon hearing this news if the shoe was on the other foot. But there's nothing to indicate that would be the case, as we've seen from the outrage over the first fight, each fan base has taken vastly different approaches. One side is known for screaming robbery and making up all sorts of conspiracy theories, while the other has been much more respectful, logical, etc, so if the shoe was on the other foot, acting like Canelo fans would call for a Golovkin ban when it's unclear there was cheating involved is a severe case of wishful thinking.

    After being ridiculed and mocked for your pathetic bias. It was a poor attempt to save face. Night of you had it 10-2 Jacobs lol.

    Since you're probably a chemist of some sort, what quantities of clenbuterol needs to be ingested to get an advantage?

    I rescored it the next day and gave GGG his due.. sorry but its true, just like a lot of people still to this day think Jacobs should have been given the nod.

    So, the fact that he earns millions of dollars outweighs the fact that it will give him a huge advantage in training leading up to the biggest payday of his career?

    Tour De France? Horse racing? Both pull MASSIVE paydays, and all of the top contenders are running monitored cycles.

    Let's see:

    1. Improves overall stamina. Canelo is known to have a flawed gas tank.
    2. Better blood flow which is fantastic for fast twitch fibers for sports like boxing.
    3. Canelo is a beefy kid, he retains weight, cutting weight will be getting harder as he gets older. He has wide lats, a square physique and built from top to bottom. He carries weight in his frame. Clen is a great way to dial in well before the fight.
    4. He can drop the weight and retain the power he will need against the likes of GGG.
    5. You can easily mask clen, should you need to. Canelo has been caught at the end of a cycle, so will walk off with no punishment.

    Also, in regards to cancer, I think you will find the meat you eat on a day to day basis is actually more damaging than a monitored cycle in that regard. You know those energy drinks and coffee everyone drinks? Yeah, same goes for those too.

    Clenbuterol can be devastating on your heart if not monitored correctly. Cancer is a different thing completely.

    Sorry to hear about your buddy, cancer is no joke. I hope he comes out the other side following surgery.

    I don't think Francisco Vargas was fined and he definitely was not suspended when he tested positive for Clenbuterol. But if the commission feels the need to suspend him and fine him it would be within the realm of reason.

    The circumstances involving Manny and Canelo are far from similar. Of course Canelo testing positive is a bad look, but it in no way is clear that Canelo has been cheating in any way shape or form, so jumping to all sorts of conclusions based on trace amounts of something that could very well be a result of a well known problem in Mexico of contaminated meat comes off poorly.

    There were no trace amounts of jack **** on Pac, yet that didn't stop you from calling him a cheater. How's Canelo not get called a cheater? There were no requisites to calling Pac a cheater, huh? And while I'm on this ludicrous topic, why wasn't a guy caught with needles and a few IV bags not considered a cheater huh?
