not only do we "ask" - we suspend/expel and publicly ridicule guys who exhibit regressive moral behavior in other sports.

Boxers shouldn't be held to a different standard. It'd be healthy for the sport if the general public and media approached boxers as regular human beings (just like all other professional athletes) - but we've sort of allowed this circus show of "well they are animals anyway so what do you expect" mentality when it comes to boxers.

Floyd should have to answer to those questions - and he has. He did his time in jail and seems to have moved on from it. But we do him and the sport no favors by not holding them to high standards re: ethics and morality.
