Let fighters juice....

Let's face it: The controlled substance issues are out of control in boxing. Everyone who can gets by it. If you have moderate skill and your trainers see it, they would be wise to put you on a regimen.

I know of no premier athlete that has not been on or is not on something or the other. We are deluding ourselves if we feel otherwise.

This is not about Canelo, but the prevailing issues around the sport that simply cannot be enforced and will never truly go away.

I would prefer a poor but moderately skilled fighter having a little juice, going up against a skilled fighter who is on a lot of juice and the money to mask his juicing, OVER A poor but moderately skilled fighter having NO JUICE going up against that skilled, juiced up fighter.

While skills determine fights, we have to assume that juicing does little to determine the outcome- if that is the logical case, then why are guys juicing?

Let them juice. Or start to delist some of these agents that they frequently use.

Grossly unfair to those who've never been. 90% of something is still not 100%.
The answer isn't let them juice.
It's keep trying to clean up the sport.
They do it in football, they can try it in boxing.

Surprised that GGG is still going ahead with the fight, despite potential danger of an athlete who failed a drug test hitting him.
He must be confident or really need the money

Probably both, he has the moral victory already, ran Canelo out of the ring and will not get a bigger purse fighting anyone else.

Probably assumes he was on the juice last time so what is there to fear now.

Yeah i agree with the last statement. It's too bad because Canelo is in a lose lose situation regardless.

If he wins, its cuz he was on the juice. If he loses, it's because he didnt have the juice.
