What's a boxing conspiracy theory you will go to your grave defending?

liston took a dive

 

Mike Tyson was a steroid monster in his prime.

 

The guy said conspiracy theories

 

There was extensive corruption enabling the last years of Foreman's career.

 

Sharkey took a dive against Carnera to allow the mob's favorite to become champion.

 

Malik Scott was hired by Deontay Wilder to take Luis Ortiz over 12 rounds so that Wilder knows what Ortiz can bring for their fight.

 

Oh ****. I would love to hear more.

 

Alvarez and his team never paid off any judges. Just the regular incompetence and some elbow grease.(Atlas has talked about promoters being really cozy with fight officials and the commisioners)
Nor was he on PED´s.

 

I agree the stuff about judges being paid off is silly. Doesn't make the scoring any better, but I really doubt they're taking bribes on nearly every card.

Canelo failed a drug test so it's basically certain he's been on stuff. The tainted meat excuse is basically nonsense, why would all these rich athletes be going to dodgy back ally butchers anyway?

 

Well, it´s not just some dodgy back ally butchers that produce that tainted meat.
In most markets(worldwide), the vast majority of beef is raised with low quality (soy)feed. This is why antibiotics and drugs come into play. Another thing low quality beef production uses, is the fattening process. Basically they want to get as much product as fast as possible, at any means.
Here is a nice summary on how it all works, and my English ain´t good enough for me to convey what I want to say here:

Got to love the "*almost no growth hormones are used here" tagline. This is due to regulations in USA and Europe.

Well in Mexico, things are a bit more lax.
And clenbuterol is a serious issue there. At least from my understanding.
A nice little summary on clen being used in feed stock raising.

How often do you eat meat? How much of it is feed lot?
This is why I eat grass fed meat. It´s clean, it´s healthier and it´s much more nutritious. Plus the animals are way better treated.

 

Especially when his trainers are butchers.

 

Panama Luis's mixed bottle in the Arguello fight.

 

Marcel Cerdan faked his injury against La Motta. He was expected to win the rematch and there would have been a third fight.

 

A lot of these aren't even conspiracy theories.

*rubs hands together*

Gatti's wife killed him & the police bodged the investigation from round 1.
