I sure as hell wouldn't step in the ring with him considering all the blood and head clashes. Not too mentioned he's a washed up, steroid user.

 

[Cheaptimes]

What the Fuck?
Who allowed that? and whose dumb/desperate enough to step in the ring with that kind of risk?

 

[The Evil Genius]

Aint nobody gonna fight that fool.....unless they are HIV Positive they self.

Stallone wouldn't even cast him in another Rocky flick I bet.

I don't think hiz dumb azz do know the difference cuz if he knew he wouldn't of typed it.

I think he knows hormones for the purpose of not getting pregnant is different than shooting up some stuff to make you lift more, etc, etc etc.

He may not, but I give him credit. He's not stupid, just opinionated.

they give hiv patients those hormones to prevent muscle wasting, that would be like calling a narcoleptic who takes adderall a tweaker, i just found it funny people who hate the goverment believe all there propaganda against "steroids" oh noes, its all bull shit.

 

[Anaheim*Rob]

There's more to the story. As of late he has been testing HIV negative and claims to have had a false positive reading back in '96.

^^^ummm...all he has to do is bleed

Can I get HIV from casual contact?

(Shaking hands, hugging, using a toilet, drinking from the same glass, or the sneezing and coughing of an infected person.)

No. HIV is not transmitted by day to day contact in the home, the workplace, schools, or social settings. HIV is not transmitted through shaking hands, hugging or a casual kiss. You cannot become infected from a toilet seat, a drinking fountain, a doorknob, dishes, drinking glasses, food, or pets.

HIV is a fragile virus that does not live long outside the body. HIV is not an airborne or food borne virus. HIV is present in the blood, semen or vaginal secretions of an infected person and can be transmitted through unprotected vaginal, oral or anal sex or through sharing injection drug needles.

I wouldnt worry so much about HIV or AIDS as I would hepatitis, which can survive outside the body for hours.

He admitted using steriods during his boxing career, to become bigger, faster, and stronger, i.e to cheat. All before he was HIV positive.

My point was who would want to fight a washed up boxer, who is HIV positive and admitted that he cheated during his boxing career?
