    Do you believe we see more fighters suffering worse injuries in the PED era than the pre-PED era?
    I’ll arbitrarily say 1995 represents the before and after eras.

    Never said he was the best and I even make the argument he isn't. Just stating his resume is awesome

    Much as I love Evander, there are several heavyweights I would rate over him.

    Boxing itself doesn't seem to know or perhaps care either. Boxing has some of the most lenient penalties for those who test positive among professional sports.

    1. Ali is way better than Holyfield all time obviously, absolutely zero discussion.

    2. How are painkillers not a performance enhancing drugs for boxing?
