But how good would Tarver have looked without the PEDs lefty? He may have been done in a round or 2.

Ironic. He was complaining about Chavez and how hard it is not to be tested. Its on his and Fat Dan's twitter pages from last night.
"i've been through the drills of the dreaded drug testing, you'll have a better chance of eluding the FBI then some commisions"
"testing is an universal rules especially here in the States just like the pre-fight medicals, no blood work no fight period."

90% is too high. Its too expensive for most fighters.
Id say that at world title level 90% is about right.

You'd have to be very naive not to think a large percentage are on PED's. I suspect at least 50% are on them, maybe even more when it gets to the top. It's hard to point the finger because its wrong to, unless proven.
That said, this is not just a problem in Boxing. It's a massive problem in all sports today - especially athletic sports.
Also, two wrongs don't make right, but these guys are taking them because they suspect every other c*nt is on them.
