I,m Mexican but I hate that cheater...

[spytactics]

Fk puto clenelo. I remember he said luck was for the mediocre and then the bish gets caught doping

[D4thincarnation]

Clenelo just needs to go through another round of PEDs then he promises to get on the testing program.

I'm sure Memo can give him a few tips to lessen his chances of getting caught this time round.

[brown_knight06]

Never said that.

I'm just not OK with the Oscar ****zine belt...

The ******s brief tenure does not outshine over 80yrs of ring glory. It will always be the moat prestigious belt to own as a champion.

The ******s brief tenure does not outshine over 80yrs of ring glory. It will always be the moat prestigious belt to own as a champion.

Yet, it's starting to be a company belt.

If not, why Clenelo is still holding the 160?

Especially after not defending it for 26 months (unless we count Kahn 155 as a defense) and being suspended for doping 6 months...

Well, at least you're leaving the door open!

Andrade barely sc****d by Vanes & Culcay, Charlo had tough time with Trout, Jacobs has two losses including being KO'd & then the KD against GGG already. I'm sure it's Golovkin's resume...I'd think Andrade, Jacobs & Charlo all have much more to prove but guess that's just me.





1st round fluke KO against a B- fighter is more impressive than being the first to go 12 with Golovkin after having Ward & Virgil specifically help game-plan for 3 months in his camp. Think I see the common denominator...

I'm sure where you going with all this Seven? What's your point?

[Travycat]

Yup. Just isn’t normal. Anyone trying to clear their good name would’ve enrolled even prior to the suspension. Like Eddie Hearn said, “You look at his physique on the scales for the last Golovkin fight, everyone is already su****ious, and ever more so now. Having spoke to doctors, when we put a VADA random testing in process, previously we’ve done it with 8 weeks to go. The doctors have told me this is the biggest waste of time game. You need it 16 weeks out because a drug cheat will stop their cycle probably by 8 weeks...which is about the time that this has happened, which again don’t look great.” Can only give a guy the benefit of the doubt for so long.

Doesn't matter how loud and how many times Clenelo shouts he is clean boxer, action speaks louder than words...

[DadeCounty305]

So WBC had something to do with the fight being made last year or the drug testing for that fight or early this year? They didn't. The fight wasn't mandated last year and canelo mysterious gained ranking somehow despite not being ranked last year and not enrolled in year round VADA. so what does him being ranked or not ranked by WBC have to do with anything? GGG could sign with canelo to fight today and part of that contract is the drug testing. He doesn't need WBC to get canelo drug tested. So tell me what does this change?

You're just PEDnelo ride or die. It doesn't matter what happened before the last fight. PEDnelo was caught cheating in 2018. If it was really the meat, then he should prove to the world that he's a CLEAN athlete by signing up with VADA right now. Quit making excuses for your DIRTY fighter. GGG been pointed out that he knew PEDnelo was dirty, by adding pictures. He didn't talk about because it would've been all speculation by everyone. He didn't want to look like Floyd with the Pac rumors. Now that it's been PROVEN that PEDnelo on PEDS... GGG and the WBC are right by their actions.

You know, anybody can go back and check my posts on Canelo and doping, I have been right down the middle with the facts, I have never said that he is or isn't doping. I have also said that the likely hood that he did is just as likely as his story. I have given evidence that I have called circumstantial and although telling, they are not proof. But I will have to be very honest and say I am now leaning toward Canelo may very well be using PED's. I think it is more likely now. Here's why.

2015-11-21: Canelo defeats Cotto, wins WBC Middleweight belt.

2016-05-07: Canelo defeats Amir Khan in a voluntary defense. Earlier that day WBC announced the start of it's year round mandatory VADA testing for all it's ranked fighters.

2016-05-18: With out ever enrolling or taking a single test, Canelo drops the WBC belt, claims he won't be forced to fight GGG.

2017-05-06: Canelo defeats Chavez. Leading up to the fight, WBC's Sulaiman offered up a new WBC belt to mark the occasion, Canelo refused. Many assume it was because he was still angry at Sulaiman, and did not want to pay a sectioning fee to the WBC. It's interesting to note, had Canelo excepted that belt, he would have been ranked by the WBC and required to test.

Canelo is currently refusing to enroll once again. Again circumstantial at best, but at this point I don't know how anyone can't admit that it is highly likely that Canelo is using PED's. It does seem if I keep digging I get closer to thinking Canelo is cheating. Could be biased by the fact that the intention is to find the evidence. But still nothing really has been proven.
