    IMO it is too hard to regulate let them all juice up as much as they like

    I guess you all believe in Floyd's revolution.

    All I got to say is Floyd and his support of drug testing is looking really good right now.

    Yes and Manny should have been setting an example as the 2nd biggest fighter in the sport. This guy is now clearly using PED's off and on.

    He cycled like these baseball players. Certain fights he used them such as Margarito, Hatton, Oscar, and Cotto...others he didn't like Clottey, Mosley, and Marquez.

    Yes, and there should be appropriate bans to follow.

    Most definitely yes. Boxing commissions all over the world should implement random testing year round, not just during training.

    But the downside is, if this is implemented, would there be anymore slick and black boxers left? The style might just disappear.

    :yep

    In a perfect world it would actually be financially viable as a plan to test every single fighter rigorously and randomly, for each and all of their fights, but it simply can't be done, forgetting the won't, but can't. I think it should be done for all accepted major world championship fights and eliminators, however, which I think is doable.

    #1 your poll is misleading , you make it sound like there are not tests now
    #2 whose gonna pay for them? how much do they cost?
    #3 all fighters? how many are in the data base considered active fighters?
    #4 who will make this new rule? theres no czar of boxing that will make a guy from Thailand and a guy from bum **** Mississippi listen and watch over

    so yes no its not that simple when boxing isnt governed and its split all of the world and as well as split sanctioning garbage organizations everywhere

    Yeah, they should definitely be tested and I'm surprised they aren't already.

    for something like this to work you need a whereabouts system.

    boxers are far too stupid to operate a whereabouts system. drug testing could only really work if boxing was under the control of one body (so never happening)

    Only random/365/hi-end testing is believable. Anything less is like lipstick on a pig.
