A one year suspension in pro boxing is a joke. In other sports where you compete every week or every month you get two years. Pro boxers at this level compete once every 6-12 months so it's basically a slap on the wrist.

Asking boxing to be clean is like asking proastitutes to be clean. Strong incentives and penalties will help, but it will never be 100%.

He hasn't been keeping up with boxing then.
Conor Benn had a test overturned
Nery was suspended for about a year
Canelo was suspended for just under a year
Garcia's suspension is about right.

Have to agree with Shakur he is right boxing needs to get harder on the cheats. The sport is dangerous enough without performance enhancing drugs. Imagine if Tank Davis was on something when he knocked out Frank Martin thank god he wasn’t on anything
