    Tie between Mosley & Roy Jones.
    Canelo never popped for roids - clenbuterol is NOT a roid.
    Why no poll?

    Tyson/Evan/Toney/Jones probably the most as they were not even close to natural HWs. There are three there around 5'10 fighting at HW. It's a farce.

    Canelo hasn't got to HW yet, but starting at welter and going to 175 is pretty close to taking a MW/SMW frame up to HW. Also, he likely would have gone to cruiser for a nice cherry pick, if Badou had accepted the cripple clause etc. There's still time for him to juice up to cruiser proper or even HW.

    Vitali was supposedly using the roids to repair an injury, so I'm not sure whether he used for PED purposes. Wlad is more suspect to me. Both are dodgy as hell though. Wouldn't surprise me if their little Austrian training villa didn't have some Eyes Wide Shut masked orgies going on after hours with their K2 executives and Ukrainian Oligarchs.

    Balco Shane Mosley and Even Fields. Anyone saying Manny is just speculating w/o an ounce of reason.

    Speculating without an ounce of reason that a someone who started out at flyweight ends up fighting at 152…while breaking orbital bones, darn near decapitating the 140lb champ, making the otherwise very durable Cotto and Mosley surrender like kittens and refusing to submit to more stringent PED testing in order to partake in one of the richest, most called for fights in welterweight history?
    You and I define “reason” very differently :eek:

    You’re comparing a 24 year old Holyfield fighting Qawi at cruiserweight to a 34 old Holy scoring a TKO of a faded Tyson at heavyweight as proof of steroids? Theres 10 better more obvious reasons for Evander’s guilt and you pick that?!

    I must have missed something in the countless books and articles I’ve read and the endless documentaries I’ve watched regarding Muhammad Ali being a PED cheat. Not once have I heard this until now.

    • Illegal IV fluids in his home
    • Ultra low T/E ratios consistent with steroid use in multiple fights
    • Announced fights at the last issue moment (controlled cycling and when drug testing began)
    • Privately contracted his own drug testing
    • Ducked VADA and positive drug test penalties
    This woman-beating scumbag might be the worst in sports history.

    What about Floyd Mayweather? You know, the guy who used an IV drip in his own home...

    That's their exception to the rule & instead of acknowledging it they will immediately name the filipino who never once tested positive or came anywhere close to doing so including any other shenanigans.
