    Donaire is the closest one I'd be 'certain' about, and I wouldn't bet a large sum of money on it.. All we can ask is for them to take the besting testing available, and Donaire is doing that.

    Agree. But don't like to guess who is as they can only take the tests given to them, are the tests high quality and up to date, no

    Stupidity. Even Gabe has moved off it, just wanted to rile up stupid fans.

    I believe a good majority of boxers over the past several decades have used a some sort of PED at least once in their career.

    The only fighter that I can say for certain that is not on steroids is Bernard Hopkins. I am not saying this because he has always been my favorite fighter, but because of the fact that he has fought at a consistently high level for over 20 years. Throughout the years, he has never had a sudden increase (or decrease) in his performance.

    Bernard Hopkins is as clean as they come.

    No - it's a fact that boxing's testing isn't fit for purpose and doesn't catch people it should. That's not an opinion.

    So you think drug testing in boxing is perfectly sufficient?

    Honestly?

    You have to realize that there is a possibility each and every fighter is on PEDs. Look, I'm a huge baseball fan and a lot of the names that came out were very surprising and players of all body types and nationalities have been confirmed as uses.

    Ortiz is a fat slob, A-rod is ripped, and most of the pitchers are skinny guys.

    Funny how people are basing there opinions on how muscular or ripped a fighter looks, it doesn't work like that, all athletes are built differently, Wach was using and he didn't turn into an ultra ripped superman. Think some people need to do some research into PEDs.

    Birds of the same feather flock together, or so the saying goes. Right? So, knowing this...I would say any of Haymon's top fighters are immediately excluded from the "certain" category.:yep

    It IS just you're opinion, and NOT a fact. Whether or not I believe testing in boxing is adequate is not the issue. Procedures are in existence, some fighters are caught the rest are not, therefore it MUST be assumed they are innocent.

    It is like saying that because some politicians are corrupt, ALL of them must be. Unless, and until it is proven, it simply isn't the case.

    What are u talking about? Their are plenty of lean weightlifters/strongman athletes

    Pudzianowski is probably the best strongman athlete of all time, and hes like 8% bodyfat
