Porter's dad says it's not. Oscar says it is. Seems to be resolved.

Last year Porter couldn't put a dent in the "lightweight" Julio Diaz, now all of a sudden he has the reputation of a fearsome banger. Before ironing out Paulie he hadn't stopped anyone in a few years, which includes guys like Alfonso Gomez, who gets a good hiding everytime he goes near the elite.

Does Paulie have a point or is he going over the top?
Don't know if Paulie is going over the top or not, but if Paulie is willing to risk his reputation or Porter's, I think we should find out.
If it turns out that Porter was or is using PEDs it's a reputation killer, and there will always be some doubt about past and future wins.
If it turns out that Porter is clean (is tested and continues to destroy everyone he fights) then I'm probably not going to be listening to Paulie when he talks about PEDs anymore.
Porter should be punished in some way if he has used PEDs, but the important thing in my mind is not "getting" Porter, the important thing is doing whatever possible to make sure it doesn't happen again, with someone else.
That's going to he expensive, and will take cooperation from everyone (LOL) in boxing.
