Orlando Salido and James Toney were both caught using steroids

All the top level Mexicans are cheating, it's pretty much a blatant fact. Salido, Chavez Jr, Morales, Margarito and Marquez all have been caught/caught in the act CHEATING.

They don't give a ****, concrete, peds, diuretics, roids, etc..

As long as it brings them a win.

 

Should look into the Salido case, it's a controversial one to say the least

 

Salido wasn't, actually, not conclusively. You should check your facts before making threads like this.

 

...boxing fans...checking facts? Don't talk such sense!

 

Roid Jones is a big one for me here too. Other notables that get praise despite either being caught, admitting to it OR so suspicious it's pretty much a given they're a cheat:

Antonio Tarver
Shane Mosley
Floyd Mayweather
Lamont Peterson
Brandon Rios
Erik Morales
Evander Holyfield
Andre Berto
Fernando Vargas


All cheaters that get, more or less, a free pass.

 

Salido, frankly, is an easy target. You could probably throw any cheating accusation on him, accurate/controversial or not, and people would buy it without digging too deep.

 

Saying he's owed some collateral ball-breaking? :yep

 

It's not my place to dole out karma, but I can say the "shoot first, ask questions later" approach to Siri on this is probably a direct result of the "wily veteran's" well-documented history of using every trick in the book (and some that aren't).

Guys like that are the perfect fall guys, even for situations like this where there are plenty more clear-cut culprits for the infraction. Fans just figure he's dirty in other regards, so why not this? And never bother digging deeper.

 

Brandon rios got tested positive to after the pac fight. And yet there is no flak against it.

There is even a youtube video of floyd defending rios saying we should not judge rios just because he got tested positive..

No wonder floyd likes to defend his fellow cheaters.

 

Erik Morales says "hello."


Each and every case claims "shadiness" and has some explanation for showing inconsistency in the process or some other angle.

 

Deca does occur naturally but so does test and lots of other things, it's still a steroid. Arnie used deca, was he all natural?

 

Please don't group Pacquiao with Mayweather OP, Pac never did anything wrong, Mayweather was caught out.

Everyone knows what Toney and Salido are, they're cheats and their careers are tainted.

This is true, Rios as well, and their unscrupulous nationalistic fans don't care.

 

Toney and Salido never ducked anyone. Floyd ducked Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, Kostya Tszyu and prime Pacquiao/Cotto.

Pacquiao is only hated by Floyd's nut-huggers.
