    I think he’s innocent until proven guilty. I wouldn’t like to be accused of something because of the way I looked.

    Are you trying to deny that Fury is guilty?

    Same. I've much preferred him since he's become a bit more pissed off with Matchroom. He clearly wants them to work a bit harder to hold up their end of the Sky contract but it means that Smith has stopped just taking the company line.

    Much more refreshing and interesting. His response to this will be significant. If it's played out how I've speculated it could have, I wonder if it would be grounds for a lawsuit from Sky too.

    Notice Andy Ruiz is using this as a reason for not wanting to fight AJ in the U.K.

    Can’t blame him. Peds, dodgy judging, refs stifling momentum (imo). It’s embarrassing.

    innocent and clean are not the same thing. too much smoke for their not to be any fire. for example if he is on TUE's which by all accounts he has been then he isnt clean but is innocent.

    Hearn had the cheek to talk about Pac-Thurman when he'd been informed a few days earlier that Whyte was tested positive ?

    I said on the other thread that promotors need to be held in some shape or form accountable also. Best to do that financially. As soon as promoters start feeling it in the pocket they will be obligated to ensure their fighters are clean

    If he got popped for drugs would I be shocked? No.

    But right now, by the letter of the law he is innocent, as is Wilder. Fury, Miller, Whyte, Povetkin etc are cheats.

    Very difficult and would kill grass roots boxing. Imagine a promoter at York Hall having to fork out £30k on testing the card

    Whilst i agree its just another reason for him to try his luck
    Like he wanted to come here beforehand
    And its easy to reel of a list of boxing controversies that have occured in the US which would shut him up

    Used to like Andy but he has become a bit of a p**k

    Anyway back to the body juicer

    Galahad should have been banned for life for that excuse alone

    At of this time, 5 of the top 8 HW's according to boxrec have been caught on performance enhancers.
    We're back in the 80's/90's era it seems.

    The problem is these fighters make these governing bodies so much money in sanctioning fees alone. They shouldn’t be in charge of the punishment, Someone independent should.

    but the guy didnt ask you if you thought he was innocent he asked if you thought he was clean
