Shane Mosley Denies Taking PED's During Today's Conference Call For May 1st Fight

You've got a very uninformed opinion. Go ask a trainer if he's got a guy with brittle hands what happens when he's in there with a mugger/brawler?

 

What the **** are you even talking about? Obviously if you have brittle hands, you're going to be more conservative which will cost you against an aggressive fighter. However, at least in Vegas, you can't even use xylocaine the week of the fight. Does that **** help some guys out? Of course. Is it the same thing as steroids as you claimed? Hell ****en no. Xylocaine will help a handicapped fighter to perform at an optimal level. Steroids will help any fighter perform above and beyond optimal levels. This is not rocket science. Stop bringing in **** that is outside the scope of the discussion. No one is arguing that xylocaine will not aid a fighter with brittle hands.

 

I'm done bigreg. You're clueless!

 

I could care less about this......but he is right in one respect. You are clueless to his point and he stated it like 5 times pretty clearly.

Your above statement says it all; a fighter with brittle hands isn't handicapped, those are simply his or her natural limitations and the Xylocaine is a means of getting around them.

He is saying that is no different than steroids because both the brittle hand guy and the guy taking steroids are looking to enhance what mother nature has given them.

But again who cares about what PBF injects into his hands.......come May 2nd this will be a moot point.

 

By your logic, wearing contacts is no different than steroids. An athlete being near sighted is his natural limitations. Wearing contacts, or getting laser eye surgery, is a means of getting around this limitation. Can a guy with contacts see better than a normal person with 20/20 vision? No. Will xylocaine help someone punch harder than a normal fighter can? No. If Xylocaine were equivlant to steroids, then why aren't guys with healthy hands using it?

 

Sure I am. Maybe one day I'll get a clue and realize that xylocaine and steroids are basically the same thing. Maybe one day WADA and Nevada, and the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and every other entity which allows athletic participants to use numbing agents will get a clue as well. I guess they should all outlaw motrin, tylenol, and advil as well. We wouldn't want anyone that suffers from chronic soreness or migranes to get an unfair advantage.
