YouTube - Shane Mosley Admits to Knowingly Using EPO in Lawsuit Against BALCO's Victor Conte
I don't ignore it. I think it proves that, in boxing, steroids doesn't make you better. If anybody had a boxing pedigree, it was shane mosley. he was totally immersed in the sport from the time he could stand in the corner of a gym and watch his dad train fighters. I saw him there when he was 5 or 6 years old.
He was a student of the sport, physically and mentally. He took steroids and it didn't turn him into the boxing version of a 75 home run a year guy. It made him a pretty good fighter that never got over his fear of getting hit by a guy that could hurt him.


Hit the nail on the head. Steroids didn't make Shane a great boxer. He was already that, in his own right. Any boxing fan and student of the sport should be able to see that. To be blinded by Mosley's admission and dismiss his entire career is a little shortsighted, in my opinion.
