Lets end the Mike Tyson debate

I wish they would just legalize it let them all use it i don't think it hurts the sport. I mean its just a enhancer and helps you heal faster and train harder why do we not allow it in sports. I mean don't you want to see home runs or knock outs i mean if everyone is taking it whats the huge deal with it.

Well let's put aside the negative things it does for the sport, like athletes achieving things they wouldnt normally and not ever really knowing who would have been able to do what without it. I dont want to look at a champ and think, he used roids to get to where hes at. And PED's effect different people in different ways so one person may benifit more from it than another.

Lets put all that side. If PED's were legal we would have athletes using potentially harmful drugs at there will with no constraint. And further more you will have kids looking up to star athletes who use PED's knowing that they use them. Then you will have kids thinking its okay to use PED's.

Speaking as a parent (not to mention an athlete and a sports fan in general) I must say legalizing PED's is a horrible idea.

Legalization is the wrong way to go because then it's about who has the most money, knows the best chemist that makes the most effective drugs, that kind of thing.
There are a lot of people who just don't what drugs in their bodies period.

Holyfeild is top 10 heavyweight of all time master tell me how he can't be with his resume. Also for pound for pound he has to be up there atg because who has come from lhw and done so much at hw. As for Beenko and Cam i understand your points i really do i am not for drugs, well i like to party but a lot of people do so eh. Thing is if boxing is not going to get the testing they need then to be fair they might as well make it legal to use because it be more fair then. I know it may suck but your kids will find out the real world is not a fair place and to get ahead even there hero's will do it because their life is on the line and they don't have much to fall back on after their times up. I don't know a easy fix i am just saying what i think would actually work because the commission is not going to make the drug testing better because they don't give a shit really which sucks as well.

roids

[Mr140]

Well to be fair to Holyfeild he was never tested for a fight and never dqed for it so i dont have it against him. As for the roids how do you feel on the subject do you feel heavyweights today use them. Also do you mind if they were to make them legal just wondering never heard your opinion.

That's true, but isn't it already biased towards the rich without drugs being legal?

Wealthy boxers can afford to hire the best personal trainers and nutritionists, buy the best supplements, the best food (eating a lot of healthy food gets very expensive), bringing in the best sparring partners, hiring/getting more attention from the best boxing trainers, training at the best gyms, ect.

There are a lot of fighters (boxing and mma) who are coming up who have to work a full time job to support their boxing, and can only train when they get a chance.

Having more money = more resources and will always be a big advantage, regardless of whether or not drugs are legal.
