    No one calls James Toney a HW champ even though he retired Ruiz.

    Did David Price ever lose to a clean fighter? Got to wonder how much it took off his career taking on all these enhanced cheats...

    And we don't call Francois Botha a HW champ either.

    Mate I’ve done Ostarine and it does **** all except shred you up. No real performance enhancing in terms of power, strength or endurance.

    No.

    Wilder was and that's about it.

    Everyone else, except @Aydamn seemed to understand Whyte was a fat blob of liquid hot garbage who couldn't avoid an uppercut (How Whyte lost every single fight he lost as a pro)

    Will they do the same for Tyson Fury? What about Roid Jones?

    You do understand that Russia controls private and public businesses? That Russia attacks Russians on a daily basis? That, typically, they don't even need a reason?

    Hope Povetkin doesn't drink tea with anyone.

    In June 2012, USADA accused Armstrong of doping and drug trafficking, based on blood samples from 2009 and 2010, and testimonies from witnesses including former teammates.

    There are more peds/roids than there are tests to find them that’s why they hold onto the samples so long until more testing is available .So now the book has been basically thrown at Povetkin will Mayweather and his relationship with USADA now finally be exposed and dealt with accordingly or does he still get the pass he has had for years !

    He got knocked out by a bum too, who did nothing after beating Price.Price lost his first professional fight, as he was stopped in two rounds by Thompson in front of 6,000 fans in attendance. Price took his time but was seemingly in total control of the bout. In the second round Price caught Thompson with a right hand sending him hurt to the ropes, he then launched his first big attack of the bout. Thompson had been cautious and tentative throughout and it looked as though he was soon to be taken over and stopped, however to the crowd's shock Thompson threw a counter right hand that hit Price awkwardly behind the ear sending him to the canvas, Price beat the count but the location of the punch behind the ear and on the neck damaged his equilibrium and the bout was waved off. Thompson had scored the heavyweight upset of the year at that point.

    Maybe, didn`t help his power much though and Floyd never admitted to taking drugs while Armstrong did to Oprah.
