Why should steroids be considered not as bad as load wraps?

[Taeth]

So was Mosley, so was Roy Jones Jr.(my favourite fighter), being able to fight faster or fight with better stamina for longer leads to more damage to your opponent. Because when they are getting gased you can still go harder than you would be able to normally and that causes more damage to the other guy. In baseball its different, but not in Boxing. You being a better athlete because of help leads to hurting the opponent more.

I cannnot believe we're using one to justify and or soften the other.Are both HGH and added training pads banned??Where do you draw the line?Steroids in their truest form are wrong,as are loaded wraps.And contrary to the colorful hyperbole,It was not concrete.No excuses all around.Both are 'enhancers' rather done in a lab,gym or someones garage.

This could possibly be true but there is no real way of telling what effect the EPO/Steroids can have in a fight.

What's to say that the other boxer just had a great gameplan anyway? Or would he have been fitter than the guy who wasn't on steroids anyway? Was his punch power/combinations/technique much better anyway?

It's a grey area with no way of telling BUT steroids are not a magic potion that will turn you into a match winner if you aren't one. Most people seem to think that they turn you into the terminator - Nothing of the sort.

Loaded gloves are no grey area as trainer monkey has said. You know 100% the damage that can be done to your opponent if you take that route.
