Drug ban vs Legacy..

[imp]

Tyson fury was banned from boxing alongside his cousin Hughie in 2015 for Steroids.

Does this ban stain his legacy against other boxers who had losses but never cheated?

Do we start to pretend or act as if there’s levels of cheating and will play it down if it happens to be our favourite boxer?

We need to have a discussion about Boxers who leave the sport and should have an asterisk over their records.

Fury is arguably the best heavyweight at the moment and I favour him over AJ when they fight but why will some fans ignore any shady history over their preferred fighter.

Let’s say for some crazy reason Drug cheat Jarrell Miller ends up fighting Tyson Fury and KO him out in one round..where does that place Miller in the scheme of things?!

How about retired drug cheat Shane Moseley?..there’s plenty more.

I have a feeling someone will post that all fighters are cheating but they haven’t been caught yet..surely that’s unfair?

Fury isn't a drug cheat, he just ate boars that hadn't had their bollocks chopped off.
Canelo isn't a drugs cheat, he was eating Mexican super cows .

Dillian Whyte served a ban as well..loads of cheats.

Very uncomfortable thread because a lot of our heroes are implicated. Do not like to think of them as cheats but they are.

Four of the Ring top 10 heavyweights have served bans for drugs. All peddling the same line of course. It wasn't me guv, it was meat, heart medicine, something that I didn't know was banned. They all want to slide out the side door with this and cop an Alford plea of sorts. You say I'm guilty, I took a year off anyway, I'll go along with that whilst maintaining my innocence yeah? All cool.

It's at the point where we just have to accept it isn't it? Anyone that gets pinged will cloud the waters so much with claims and counter claims that it all becomes a massive shit storm and no one knows what to believe. They disappear for a while and then come back, no harm no foul. Top ten Ring ranked heavyweight thank you very much. Some would even have you believe that they're the victim.

If a mandatory 5 year ban was given then who knows whether Wlad would still be the heavyweight champion right now..why is Miller now back under Bob Arum preparing to make millions.

If you really look deep into it the whole thing is sick..

But you’re happy to deal with and overlook that level of uncomfort because you like that fighter.

Wrong is wrong.

5 year ban minimum.

Before BJS was caught cheating he was one of my favourite boxers but now he is preparing to fight another cheater in Canelo for a mega payday.

Whilst GGG sits on the sidelines getting old and not cheating but a loss on his record from a former steroid user?!
