the art of ducking

 

:deal

 

ducking a guy who hasn't fought a WW at the WW limit...then instead fighting the #1 WW in the world? hmmm, something seems wrong with your ASSessment.

If you read that article its not just Victor Conte whos having a go at the drug testing procedures in boxing, it is WADA aswell so I think boxing needs to start to listen.

 

No, what is shameful is a guy who walks away from a 40 milion dollar payday instead of fighting an opponent who gets accused of being on steriods and A-Side meth by a couple of crackheads without one iota of proof.

Now, that is shameful.

And you should be ashamed for being being blind to this obvious fact.

 

The thing is, it just wasnt the Mayweathers who were accusing Pacquiao of being on something, plenty of other people had their suspicions aswell.

 

Only an idiot would think that was intentional.

 

They started the rumours, that is true. But an unsubstantiated rumour is basically bull****. And only an idiot - or a coward - would believe in it.

 

Iv been saying this all along, when a fighter is making boxing money, the power that be will over look if these guys are cheating.

 

I agree with you there mate, a failed drugs test would cost boxers and boxing a lot of money.

 

Given that Conte willingly points out how easy it is to beat the testing boxing has in place, does Chambers and Ward hiring him have any effect on your opinion of them?

 

I can't disagree with you at all man. As long as there's money to be made, that well keeps going until it's tapped out and to hell with the rules.

I also think if the PED witch hunt could accurately go back 30-40 years, we'd probably be surprised at just who and how many big fighters would be implicated. I won't throw names out there, but it'd be naive to think this problem just magically popped up in the late 90's given how long steroids/PED's have been present in most other sports.

 

Rock has a genuine question that got me thinking there for a moment. But again since he did this before he knows that he would be walking on a thin line and therefore try to avoid career suicide.
