    Two fighters of equal skills and one on PEDs. They guy with PEDs should win. A large portion of boxing involves skill though compared to other sports. I have no doubt though that someone like Floyd would be a stronger fighter on PEDs.

    Yet it still doesn't make you a better fighter . I don't know of any PED user that went from journeymen to hall of famer .. You either have it or you don't !

    Talent's what your born with, skill is what you develop. Let's ignore the physical talent side of things altogether for the sake of this argument.

    Which part of the following do you disagree with?

    1)Skill develops through work.

    2)Work quantity and quality can be increased with a proper PED regimen.

    Neither point ..Just listen to Mike and look at some examples Oscar vs Vargas is a perfect example of this .Vargas highly skilled not as skilled as Oscar but was loaded with Roids and what happened ? He got his ass handed to him and you can't tell me Varags didn't train hard for Oscar ..

    If you're agreeing with both points, you're agreeing that they can help make you a more skilled fighter (if you put the right work in).

    It's not a guarantee you'll beat the guy across from you, but you would be more skilled than the version of yourself that didn't put the same amount of time in.

    There's also no way of knowing if Oscar himself (or any elite fighter of the past 50 years) was or wasn't on something. None of Conte's athletes ever tested positive.

    Yup

    KTFO not ONCE not TWICE but THREE times ! ! !

    A true Journeyman , no question .

    Yet Why the hell Floyd ALWAYS shittin in his pants and stuttering his words whenever the topic of Manny Pacquiao comes up ???

    A journeyman should never have anyone shooked like that .

    I see Mike in more UFC matches than boxing. He always get spotlighted.
