    If we want cheats out of the sport, its only right to boycott these cheats.

    Right?

    Don't forget Vargas's possible comeback fight, the upcoming Botha-Holyfield fight, and Mayorga's MMA debut.

    Correct. Bottom line is this: Anyone who would label Vitali a cheater is clearly a hater.

    If we boycott the few who have already been caught cheating, there's no chance they'll increase regulations to catch the rest of them. That leaves us in a situation where boycotting won't necessarily help us achieve the end we would like.

    That said, I'm boycotting Margarito for the follownig reasons:
    1) He's bad at fighting.
    2) He is a known cheater.

    Don't forget Roid Jones.

    And Mayweather for his elbows to opponents throats in clinches and ducking low

    Oh and Ruiz and Hopkins for their octopussy impersonations

    So because it didn't happen when he was a pro it doesn't count?

    P.S. Nice Avatar

    Vitali was being treated for an injury 14 years ago (aggravated a previous kickboxing leg injury) and was taking a minor steroid, prescribed by his doctor.
    Again, 14 years ago + amateur + doctor prescribed.
