Forget confirmed or unconfirmed... 99% of them have been and are to this day on steroids. You'd be stupid not to take them if millions of dollars and more importantly your life is on the line.
Although not confirmed, I'd say the best performance where a guy was almost CERTAINLY juiced was Pac-Cotto. But BOSS is actually right. They're all fuckin juicing at this point. And by all, I mean all world class ATHLETES, not just boxers. So the playing field is level.
yes they are all on juice, but having finished a cycle a few months ago is not the same thing as being in the middle (or even better, end) of a cycle
One perhaps 2 rounds at the outside. What Tua did to him but Sonny would have set him up with the jab first only difference.
For the most part I agree. Though if we accept this premise, we also have to accept the fact that these new guys would probably beat most of the guys from the eras before roiding
There were PED's in the old days too. Just different PED's. Matthew Saad Muhammad corner used a "PED" in his fight with John Conteh, packing the cut eye with an illegal cement. Joe Louis got smelling salts in his fight with Conn. Ali got Listons liniment in his eyes, I don't say it was deliberate, but the fact that Listons corner even carried it to rub on their man makes it a performance enhancer. In the old days at the Olympics, they'd blast Oxygen into themselves. Blood doping was a big thing in cycling and it involved no drugs at all!! So all that's changed is the science and the application, rather than the notion of giving yourself a edge. Guys have looked for the edge since day 1.
Margarito: "I dont got time for no stinkin drugs! Just throw some brass knuckles under my gloves, vato!"
Well more a case of outright cheating than a case of a guy looking for an edge, as the only way Cotto could have leveled the playing field was to himself cheat accordingly with some sort of wraps. There are allegations Dempsey used loaded gloves, some say a metal spike vs Willard. Some say he did it to Willard out in a round and abandoned the device once Willard didn't go out in 1.
Piss-drinkin' PED'er KO4 HGH-guzzlin' Asian-Homo-hater was a great example of 'Who's Drugs Are Better?' Thankfully, Floyd annhilated/embarrassed both of these punks for fun.
Unanimous Decision. I remember watching it with a bunch of boxing General Joe Publics who were moaning and complaining and I just said "this is beautiful...this is boxing. It's going to be a shut-out." Completely made (another P4P fighter) look standard...and would've done anytime if they'd met from 2009, too.
JMM's hair, neck, biceps, shoulders, chest, arms.........all massively pumped up. Dont get me wrong, he looks great and if PAC was on it then JMM had every right to be on it too.
Exactly. He would have, so it's not worthy of discussion. You know it, everyone knows it. Move along.
