I was always amazed at how so many boxers were able to go 15 rounds compared to the boxers of today who can barely make it to 12.

Thank you for the information I knew for sure many were involved with several different types of PEDS.

Now that you mention it, In an interview Duran said he was weak making the super welter weight limit and was prescribed diuretics by a doctor to lose extra pounds. I believe diuretics are banned substances. This was for his second fight against leonard.

yep. They used cocaine to get an energy boost and to numb pain, and they used roids for strength. This is why it's not fair to compare them to Floyd. HE's all clean, baby

hagler was probably roided out of his mind

he was never dropped in a nearly 70 fight career (slip doesnt count) and ate shots from the hardest hitters in the business...hell hes never even been rocked

on top of that he was able to go 15 rounds and could punch like a mule ...sounds like something out of a comic book
