Eric is a pretty good windup I must admit. Not funny, but frustrating. I agree with what Memphis said about INTENT. The intent for loading your gloves is much more sinister then that of using steroids. I still believe both are really bad.

i cannot believe i am having a discussion with people who are saying taking steroids is more acceptable than loading your glovesQuote:

dude common
its you who is missing the point
drug cheats are cheats, you cant exactly evaluate the advantage it gives you, but you get a big advantage
is it worse than loaded gloves? maybe maybe not, but its still a massive advantage in a fight
Your a proper weirdo mate, you need clinical help. :-\
It matters as far as reputation and punishment is concerned.
And as stated before, it's not about evaluating damage, it's about the evaluating the degree of illicit steps taken inflict damage.
your pretty sad dudeQuote:

you always neg someone when they beat you in an argument?
again this is what the thread is all about, margs reputation in tatters, hollyfield a hero, both cheatsQuote:

How did you 'beat' anyone? You question yourself if one is worse than the other, how can you be surprised if people see it differently to you?
if i didnt beat him why did he neg me?Quote:

i disagree and i dont think he should be treated any differently
Which was kinda my point :) You arent sure, but are sure that the people who are sure are wrong, is that it? :)
Just to summarise. Both are wrong, both are cheating, both should be punished. The intent from Margarito and or his team was far worse.
Thats my opinion anyway, I hope its ok? ;D
Well it depends where Margarito goes from here. That's why he is very lucky to get this fight with Pacquiao. It's a chance at the beginning of redemption for him. In 10 years the view on Margarito may of softened somewhat, then again it may worsen... It all depends on what he does next. He has time though, that's the important thing.Quote:

The only (vital) difference (and part of my argument) between Holyfield and Margarito is that Holyfield hasn't been found guilty of anything. Therefore he is not a cheat. An undeniable fact.
The only real sad thing is; that there probably is a great injustice in all of this because as I said before boxing sucks in updating and enforcing it's anti-doping policies. I could well be agreeing with you if it were for a bit of competence. But it's just not possible.
So for now dude, your gonna have to agree with me on this or look like a complete mong in refusing to do so :p

i hear what you are sayingQuote:

let me give you an example
i have been weight lifting for a long time, i dont take steroids, kids come into our gym, much smaller than me, start a course of steroids, and from lifting considerably less than me start to lift more than me and are still smaller than me
these kids probably arent doing steroids properly, got their drugs from who knows who
a professional boxer you would expect to get the best drugs and administer them in the correct way and so get a better advantage than the kids in the gym
the advantage of a steroid user is massive, the advantage of someone with loaded gloves is massive, who knows which has teh biggest advantag but they are both cheating in a massive way
thats my opinion anyway, i hope thats ok? :)

i give you a challenge
do a bench press today see how much you can lift
start doing steroids, do no more training
in six weeks or so when the roids are at their peak do another bench press see how much you can lift
i can garentee it will be considerably more
;)
Okay I'll give you a challenge in return...
Don't do any training at all, punch a wall. See how much damage it does?
Two weeks later, after no training at all, load you gloves up. Punch the same wall. See how much damage it does?
Again, it's not about the actual damaged caused. It's about the short-cut I took to obtain better results.
The measure of illicit steps taken to inflict damage :cool:
BTW, I won't be using roids dude. Shame on you for even suggesting it :p
Oh an I neg-reped you cause your a mong :la:
Maybe you neg-repped me back because you want me to stop wiping my arse with your reputation?
man, it deosnt matter how long it takesQuote:
