How would the fallout carry out from this?
Of course, it would look terrible. Mayweather is one of the few elite fighters who has removed doubt by insisting on stringent testing for several recent fights, I really doubt he does take any serious PED's. I guess you can never rule it out though, as guys get older especially.
It would be a legacy killer for Mayweather. As it is, people hate him so badly they look for any reason to discredit him. If he got popped for PED's, people would write off his entire career.
He'd also take shit for being a hypocrite and accusing others of using PEDs, being a stickler for olympic-style testing, ect.
If there is one fighter on Earth I would put all my money on not using PED's it would be PBF. I'm actually pretty confident that he doesn't use PED's.
However I'm never surprised to see any fighter test positive for PED's.
Floyd doesn't have the traits/characteristics of what I consider a "Fighter on PED's".
Floyd has been very open with his testing so much so that he avoids certain things that contain supplements of PEDs.
I remember reading he avoids certain medicines due to their contents, not sure if its true but it seems possible.
And smart.
You say tomato,
‘n I say …… it correctly.
It's a tough call these days to distinguish if a fighter is on PED's or not.
Floyd does train very hard and must fight off injuries over the course of such maniacal training that the modern boxer must endure to keep up with his opponents.
It could very well be that all top pro boxers MUST use PEDS today of some sort and that Floyd has just found ways as all athletes do to evade detection somehow.
Of course it also could just be that Mayweather has supreme recuperative powers.
I notice Floyd's routine is not so heavy on the power training that many other fighters embrace. I see some general strength prep exercises at the start of his cycle and calisthenics throughout but other than the usual necessities he is highly skill emphasised, atleast compared to say Pac Man or Canelo Alvarez for example.
I don't think it would undermine his achievements since he would not be alone here but it would certainly taint his legacy which frankly, is as good as smashed anyway without Pac on the record.

If you're an elite athlete, you're a suspect for PED use. It's that simple.
There have been TONS of guys who have spoke out against steroid/PED use, and then got busted. The fact that Floyd speaks out so openly against them proves nothing, really. I'm sure a pedophile would tell you how disgusting pedophilia is, too.
Not that I'm accusing Floyd of using, but I don't discount it.
