    Maybe not in all sports, but certainly in boxing, where you have to be a bit of a psycho to even want to do it in the first place. Add in millions of pounds/dollars on the line, and even the nicest, most morally upstanding thugs might start to think twice. And frankly if you're prepared to risk your life in the ring then I don't see why you'd be afraid to risk your reputation in getting caught. All boxers are risk takers by the very nature of their profession.

    ...who doesn't get caught, true.

    Or maybe he's really clean. No way of knowing, really.

    Not every boxer is a thug :lol: Or a psycho.
    Men love contact sports, especially fighting. It's in our DNA.
    And not all of them see their life being on the line when they step into the ring. They all know the dangers, but it doesn't make them insane. Men have always taken dangerous jobs.
    Boxing being dangerous doesn't mean that everyone will automatically resort to cheating because of it.

    A lot of boxers still treat boxing as a sport. It's a way to compete and make some good money if possible. And for some, money really isn't the key, especially if they are already set.

    If you are a professional fighter and plan on having success at the top level you better damn we'll be treating every fight like your life is on the line because it is

    Not true at all.
    You think Hopkins went in there fearing for his life every time?
    At one point it becomes just another fight.
    He had like 30 or so title fights, there is no way he kept that intensity.

    Not what I said.
    What I said was that you have to beat Bolt at speed. In boxing you don´t have to be faster.

    Genuinely believe tony bellew was clean, even though he’s retired. His bulk to heavyweight was realistic, pot belly not massive shoulders an ripped abs
