Luckily there's no drug testing for the Pacquiao/Bradley fight

PED's in drug free sports is cheating, unethical, and weak. Athletes and/or coaches who condone/display this behavior can get lost.

I agree with Adarq's viewpoint. I don't give a fuk how "everybody else is doing it". The only way sports will ever be clean is when drug tests become more frequent, and penalties become harsher. If you're caught doping even just once you should be banned for life. That may sound harsh but it's the only way sports are ever going to become clean and if you're caught cheating than deal with the consequences.

I can only agree with that IF the test is 100% reliable. You can't ban a guy for life just because your test showed he took roids when in fact he took pills because he had a headache and it came up in your test as roids. You get the idea.

It's like the death penalty - what if the guy is innocent? Better let 20 guilty guys live than kill 1 innocent guy.

That's why they take more than one sample and you're actually believing the BS excuses athletes do. Nothing can increase your Test:Epi ratio to over 6:1 (which is ridiculously high to begin with) besides banned PEDs.

They have to ban them for life. It's not like the gains you make on steroids go away. Also with HGH you can actually create more muscle cells which will never go away, so your genetic limit for natural muscle building will always be bigger.

Hell, look at NFL players. They do their serious cycles in high school and college and then cut back (although they still do something) when they make it to the pros, yet they only get bigger. Combat sports are a little different because they use PEDS to help with recovery and muscle retention when they cut weight but it still gives an advantage that will never go away.

The fight wasn't nearly as close as the commentators tried to make it seem, but it was good.

If there was drug testing both of them would lose their license.

Predictions for the rematch?

Hopkins by UD. I feel Dawson will go for some knockouts though which will also make him vulnerable to a knockout, but idk how much power Hopkins has left.
