Were they aware he had PED's before the fight? Or did that knowledge come to us after the fact? While the weight was known to everyone before the fight and it still happened, so quite the comparison there...
Anyway, teachers go back and forth with students all the time and it isn't because students are correct, it's because they are stuborn and don't want to learn, so that example is also incorrect.
The fact of the matter is, I am not talking about him cheating in his championship fight. Even if it isn't a legal matter, one way to know if what you are saying is correct or not, simply say "would it hold up in court?"
"Your honor, he cheated, he intentionaly missed weight, he admited it."
"Correct, this is why that fight was scrapped and he didn't get fight for the belt and was charged 1.5 million dollars."
"No but then he beat me while being OW, it's cheating!"
"No because you accepted the new terms, that was a different fight and the weight wasn't an issue anymore.
That's all there's to it, no matter how much you want to look into it, Ryan cheated with PED's and he paid the price for intentionaly missing weight by not being allowed to fight for the belt.
But in the actual fight where he humbled Haney, he didn't cheat as far as weight is concerned, everybody knew his weight and they still accepted.
Needless to say, if Haney had won the fight, Ryan would still be facing punishment and cheating accusations from Haney due to the PED's, but he wouldn't be saying much about the weight anymore, because he won.
Since he lost, all of a sudden those 3lbs he was all too happy to accept 1.5 million for, are such an incredible advantage that it cost him the fight... please...
