    Floyd always gets a free pass from his broke ass fans.

    Manny and Floyd. Manny lost to Floyd but is considered the better fighter by some.

    Funniest part is people still trying to pretend Manny wouldn't do that.

    Why nobody else did though? Surely they are all on roids? I see it as downplaying pacs greatness for what he accomplished.

    The question was who I think benifited the most. Pac has been the greatest benificiary, IMO. No, I don't think that Pac finds success beyond 135 without enhancements, but he is still a HOF fighter up until that point.

    I agree with you about Manny, but he’s not on the OP’s list. Neither is Floyd. It’s a very strange list, in that it includes Sweet Pea and Ali but doesn’t mention Floyd and Pac.

    Agree I'd never heard of Sweet Pea or Iron Mike taking steroids, but it is well known about Evan Fields, and it is obvious by looking at his body transformation. He is probably one who gained the most along with Canelo. They didn't just take peds, they transformed their bodies to rely on peds to win. All Canelo needs to do is be standing at the end of the fight to win.

    Pac clearly took something. Look at him for the second fight with Morales. That was shredded.

    However, he doesn't have to submit to tests just because Floyd, who was a drug cheat, wants to create his own rules.

    highly unlikely that it's Tyson. the guy's physique was at its best in his late teens.

    for the reasons already amply covered, Holy, Pac, and RJJ are all good shouts.

    Canelo suddenly appearing like a mini incredible hulk if he'd been painted green. If ever anyone roided that's the man.

    When you really look between the lines its easy to see the trolls & adoring fans of certain users when they attack the innocent fighters that have embarrassed their idols legally
    I know you'll say here he goes again, but look at the way Antonio Margarito has been treated. What started with a known instigator like Naz Richardson claiming ridiculous things about Plaster Blocks led to the CSAC jumping the gun & taking away Marg's boxing licence like the Keystone Kops. Even after no one had ever been able to prove Marg did anything wrong, No plaster was ever found , or even claimed to be found, they STILL refused to give him back his licence to box in Ca because they SUSPECTED he MAY have tried to cheat. In doing so they took away an innocent mans livelihood & tarnished his good name destroying his career
    Look at the difference with Floyd & IV gate ?? Floyd was caught red handed receiving excessive illegal saline drip treatment in his own home 24 hours before the Pac fight. The NSAC covered his butt by issuing this statement " M Mayweather did nothing wrong we will not be investigating ' ROFL
    One law for the Vegas cash cow & another for the honest law abiding boxers I guess

    Why?? Because you know he was right in claiming what Floyd did was blatantly ILLEGAL yet the Commission covered his butt. Floyd knew the rules he knew he should have applied for a TUE if he really was dehydrated. Instead he cheated by having the treatment in his own home. If anyone should have been banned it was Floyd in my book
