2: Stiverne, who allways managed to get away with his doping use because he cooperates along the same connections as Wilder does, untill the moment he took doping right in front of a doping tester, at that point even his friends at the lab couldn't help him out.
3: Arreola, smoking more joints a day then Wilder got in his car and still remain a pro boxer, that deserves an applause, at least in some way.
4: Shannon Briggs, the only guy who manages to fool me, had had it all, including a title shot against someone who he could have beaten in a fair way and then he failed a doping test. It really depressed me, finally an American who could do something special in sports, without cheating, and then it turns out to be a cheat anyway.
5: Floyd Mayweather Jr, the guy who makes so much money that people just let him get away with all his cheating stuff, tipical American style.

Now I know that some people might suggest that some of these fighters aren't active any more, but for me they only claim to be inactive to avoid beïng tested and then make a comeback to help their drugs friends out, or to make a big bag of money.

Assfukt is back again.

I've been a boxing fan since 1975, when I was just a kid. I've followed the sport closely for years. I can say for a fact that the fighters of the 1970s and 1980s -- generally speaking, that is -- were not as cut, lean, defined, or toned as most contenders are today. I mean sure...there were some 1970s and 1980s fighters that were incredibly cut, but they were the exception. Not the norm.

There's no doubt in my mind that PED use is probably the norm today, not the exception. Remember what Tommy Morrison said years ago, when he admitted that he was a steroid monster during his prime? Morrison said that "anytime" you see a guy that's incredibly muscular, or super-cut and defined, then he's got to be on something. Hearing it from Morrison is as good as hearing from the horse's mouth as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe authorities in all pro sports should start investigating how PED's can be used in moderation, under doctor's supervision, without threatening an athlete's health too severely. I say this because sports authorities will never succeed in weeding out PED's. It's probably better to allow doping, to regulate it, and to make it available to all fighters in order to level the playing field on a competitive level.

Just my thoughts, whatever they're worth.
