Just look at who the overly muscled ones are, or ones who have made gigantic leaps in weight.

Classic one are:

Evander Holyfield
Roy Jones

If we are being honest without prejudice factoring out our favorite boxers then you have to admit that the boxers in recent memory winning multiple world titles in several different weight classes have to be the first ones to look at. I'm talking Manny and Floyd here. I'm a huge fan of Manny but for me to sit here and say that he didn't dabble during his gambling, drinking and womanizing years. If his character was so in question with everything else in his life at the time, you have to think that steroids would just be the normal progression. Floyd getting caught with a masking injection the night before the big fight was also telling and you now have to question him being as clean as he says he was.

But GGG and Bradley are already VADA tested for their fights so that should tell you all you need to know about these two guys being clean and hopefully the rest of the boxing world will adopt the highest end of testing for bouts to ensure rule compliancy.

Juan Manuel Marquez was the most obvious one for me the last few years. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that he was on the juice. David Haye looks like is taking something also.

Most criticized is:

Tarver aka Milk Dud
Toney aka the Michelin Tire Man
Roid Jones
Sugar cokeCane Mosley

Least criticized is Manny PEDman Pacquiao, his fans never own up to him doping and are too afraid to admit they are even remotely suspicious of him as well.

Agree about JMM.

I'd be surprised if AJ weren't on something. He's added a significant amount of muscle mass in a relatively short period and is sporting the classic roid gut.

The "roid gut" is more associated with growth hormone and insulin use. but both are also banned although they arnt anabolic steroids. and are harder to detect. :bag:

For me they are allways far to less criticized, in my opinion everyone cought deserves a life ban, you should pump the money back into boxing and you deserve quite some time in prison for and attempt of premeditated murder since this is a fighting sport. Since you're fighting you're risking someones life when you use unnatural powers and not just your own.

I know what you're saying in regards to what's going on here. While I don't mean to be a thread killer or trying put a close on this topic, I am simply curious if there has been a drug cheat as its not common in boxing.

But if none then speculate away..

Wow. After a quick screen I'm surprised at some of the names. Although Wikipedia isn't that reliable a source but it's a good start. Ta.

In regards to the muscle gain in some of the boxers. A lot of those steroids WADA are very familiar with mainly due to bodybuilding. Muscle gain and that Adonis look is quite common with black athletes. Black people are just built.

Tyson and Holyfield have the best physiques in all of boxing. I hope I never hear they used roid's.

Holyfield didn't, but some guy called Evan Fields used to like a bit of HGH.

Is this only media criticism against AJ or Mayweather or is there any truth against them in matter of doping???

For what my opinion is worth, boxers should be subject to the same testing regime as professional athletes. Random tests at any time of the day or night. No excuses. Remember this.
In athletics the doping might mean someone jumps higher or runs faster.
In boxing it could mean the difference between knocking someone out or killing them.
I have my own views on who I think has doped in the past however don't have the money to pay a libel or slander suit so will keep those names to myself.
