    Makes some good points about the drug testers not releasing enough information.

    But I think he is wrong about 35 world champions being on PEDs. I think it is a lot more!

    You never really know for sure, but I reckon he's one of the few clean top level boxers.

    Talks about the Haye fight at the beginning of the vid for those interested.

    That he's wearing a Holyfield sweater, who was himself under suspicion for taking PEDs?

    And where's he getting that figure from?

    But I also think it's probably more as you said.

    I think they're all on juice, though if someone were to hold a gun to my head and ask me to spot the odd man out I'd probably pick Bellew. He seemed to almost speak from experience however at 13:00...

    It might sound a little like that, but TBH, no different to what I've said over the years, and I can assure you I've never taken steroids.

    Suspicion..? Not that I really care at this point, it was a different era and his main rivals weren´t much cleaner.

    Most are likely on diuretics.
    But California has initiate a change in policies. HBO did a good segment on it on the Lampley show.

    I think 35 out of 48 is a little much, but possible. There's also probably big differences what they're on and how much, as some go full blown roids and HGH while others maybe take some light stuff to recover better during training.

    Diuretics is definitely rampant at the lower weights. It's practically a necessity if you wish to have a hope of competing on even terms with your peers. Otherwise you face competing in a weight class of men significantly bigger than you on fight night. The matter of a few pounds can make the difference between winning and losing at the higher levels of the sport, all else being equal. Not even then.

    35 is quite a specific figure. Did Bellew provide a list ?

    'Legend Jones Jr heads to the UK to fight for the first time in his career at Aintree Racecourse in the fall and Bellew says that despite the contest being a good chance for Moran to enjoy the spotlight, his American opponent is long past his best days.

    “It's a great occasion and opportunity for Tony Moran and I'm happy for him personally, but If I'm being honest Roy Jones is kind of like an Idol to me and to see him still fighting is kind of sad,” Bellew exclusively told ***********

    “Roy’s only a shell of his former self and if he would have retired after he defeated John Ruiz (for the world heavyweight title) then he would have had a fair shout as being called the greatest fighter who ever lived.

    “He was certainly the most gifted fighter of his era - there is no doubt about that and people who really know boxing know that a prime Roy Jones Jr is one of the greatest fighters to ever lace the gloves up,” he added.
