    I probably 80-90% believed Lucas Browne was drugged in Chechnya , but after he got popped again that's down to maybe 20-30%

    If people are honest with themselves its clear the guy was on something. When has a guy ever dominated the sport after 35 like floyd did showing very little decline especially just about no decline in reflexes? The clincher was when he got caught with the IV in his house. Sure there wasnt any peds and it was just an IV but that is a method used by many ped users to dilute their samples in hopes to make it undetectable. What about some of the guys from his gym being busted? Now i dont want to single him out because hes not the only one but i find hilarious how he had the loudest mouth when it came to accusing others and talking about cleaning up the sport yet he appears to be just as dirty as the next guy.

    Beat me to it. I agree with the 80-90% for Browne's positive test. Not sure if his subsequent positive diminishes that all the way down to 20-30% though. It is quite possible they are completely isolation occurrences.

    But either way, 2 positive tests for Browne in rapid concession is a very bad look.

    USADA officials colluding with Mayweather in getting him hooked up to an IV precisely so he could produce a sample. I am not sure that counts as a conspiracy theory though, there is plenty of proof for that.

    The whole Floyd IV business just looked massively shady to me and I wasn't happy with any of the explanations afterwards. That's about the only conspiracy of recent years that I think is worth devoting some time to.

    Fixed fights and fixed scorecards is just par for the course in boxing, so I'm not even sure if they warrant the term.

    Mayweather's IV thing is a clear cut case of someone breaking the rules and the agency just saying "Oh, that's okay."
    No satisfactory explanation has ever been given.
    The USADA said it was okay, despite all the rules stating it is not okay.

    It's blatant and open corruption, the reasoning was like something from a tinpot third world government. "Yes it is illegal, but he did it anyway and, we say today, for him in this case it was legal"

    Bob Arum will guide Manny Pacquiao's post-boxing political career all the way to Malacanang Palace , which will make Bob Arum (a Harvard educated, slick, Jewish New York lawyer) de facto king of the Phillipines.

    Judges who scored the Kovalev vs Ward fight were corrupt ( all 3 scored the fight 114-113 ) hmmm

    It's my understanding that CJ Ross was going to be asked to do a round by round scoring review to defend her card. She "retired" instead.

    The steroid use of fighters for years, Pazienza, Mosely,Holyfield, Pacman, Marquez and Mayweather come to mind. Whenever a fighter is bigger ,faster ,and stronger at 35 that's the only test I need.

    LMAO yes. Tie them up, make them watch the fight again and torture them mentally, make them rewatch every round 10 times, count the punches, everything... Until they break down and admit they were paid!

    I read once on reddit a comment, that Kovalev vs. Ward was not a boxing related robbery, it was a political statement. This fight was not Kovalev vs. Ward, it was Russia vs. the US. This fight happened during the Obama administration and we all know the hatred and propaganda against Russia when the democrats reigned.
    Furthermore, Kovalev and Trump know each other in private and Trump is known as a huge boxing fan and expert. This robbery was a big eff you to both, Russia and Trump.

    I think this theory is pretty intresting.
