    All I can think of is how many of you jerk offs that are bashing ODLH were defending him when Haymon was gonna take over GBP with Richard Schaef.
    Oscar was gonna be the face but the other 2 would run the racket behind the scenes. It was a great idea that all of you corksuckers bulked at because of your own personal insecurities seeing a man like Al Haymon run things.

    Now that Oscar has been left to his own understanding look at him? He could have still been on top publicly and everything would have been smooth.

    How about an entire ban of boxers from the Clenbuterol capital of the world?

    Completely ban from boxing?! i know this would put ISAL on suicidal watch. But the way it is looking is not good. You have Oscar, Sulaiman, NSAC and Heredia.The RING mag all in cahoots with each other protecting the Clenbuterol capital of the world from drug testing fearing 90 percent of them might be on this stuff.

    I really do not know the percentage but several elites from that part of the world have tested positive for illegal drugs already. For the safety of other boxers in the ring. We cannot allow this to continue. And we must do our duty lobby and petition for a temporary ban of boxers from the Clenbuterol capital of the world until we can find a solution to this problem.


    CLENBUTEROL CAPITAL MUST BE TEMPORARILY BAN ASAP.

    I agree with your sentiment about the ring, but where is Doug supposed to go? I seriously doubt there’s many openings for boxing writers. Not to mention, Doug has really climbed the tallest peak by becoming the editor of the only boxing magazine left. Along with that, he does some ring announcing. I always had the feeling that Doug really had his dream job come true (at the expense of the former ring writers and editor). Doug’s a boxing geek that really seems to love the sport and what he does. Also, he’s always kept his relationship with the fans via his mailbag. He’s definitely in a tough place and even though he tried to be diplomatic I’m sure he’s crossed Oscar and will be gone within a year. Whatever became of Nigel Collins? I have no idea.

    He really did. I think this is one of the most unbias articles I've read.

    Boxing has so many different regulating organizations that it creates so much inconsistency in how fighters are dealt with.

    Hopefully Canelo's situation can shed some much needed light in having a unilateral agreement and set of rules for the sake of consistency.

    From the article I don't think Fisher wants to leave, nor did I get that he is disgruntled. He's just shedding light on what the current state of boxing is when it comes ro dealing with PEDs.

    He seems to believe Canelo's version and the reason he voted to strip him was only because yhe NSAC suspended him and since 2012 it has been Ring's rule to strip any fighter who is suspended for PEDs, not factoring whether it was intentional or not.

    Utter joke. Strip him as he was caught with PEDS and make him earn it back.

    As an aside, Lance Armstrong passed 500 drug tests in his career.

    Just saying.

    The idea that an elite professional sportsman like Canelo and/or his team not using due diligence when sourcing his protein intake i.e. clenbuterol-infused meat is laughable, particularly in light of the issue of contaminated product being a known source of "false positives".

    The excuses these pro-sportsmen come out with when caught with their pants down (Bradley Wiggins for example) are literally on par with a schoolkid claiming their dog ate their homework.

    I agree. I always got the impression that Doug didn’t want to get too involved with the PED side of things in boxing. I also believe he at least wanted to believe Clenelo’s story. I also don’t think he wants to leave and why should he? He’s got his dream job. But he does have a conscience and has always maintained his connection to his fans by commenting in his own mailbags; he knows that we know that Oscar is a corrupt, hypocritical douchebag and I think that bothers Doug. Personally, I think Doug has crossed Oscar by simply having acknowledged the lack of consistency and Doug will pay for that within a year.

    I didn't see that. In fact, I think his article has very little to do with Oscar and more to do with the inconsistencies throughout boxing.
