    Guillermo Jones. Apparently a hometown decision for Nelson and then Jones went and failed the test.

    Hardly surprising, a guy going from welterweight to cruiserweight and still performing well and looking in good shape. He obviously needs to cycle for 2 years before each fight :lol:

    Because the most important thing to a boxer is his achievement in the ring, its their identity, its who they are.
    To admit cheating, or needing help to be the best, is in fact admitting that they arent as special as they are in their own minds, and also as the boxing fans believe them to be.

    Look at footballers, tennis players, track and field athletes, pretty much any sport you care to mention, when these athletes retire, they stay retired.
    Look at boxers, how many of the once great ones comeback, or stay in too long. Its because when youve been "Mr X", undisputed world champion, adored by millions, and feeling on top of the world, its really tough to ajust to being just "Mr X".
    IMO, Benn could admit to his shortcomings as a person, before his shortcomings as a fighter.
    PED abuse is rife in every sport, but in boxing where Mr average earns relative peanuts, but Mr World champion earns millions, of course any available advantage is going to be tried.
