    Lets compare the heavyweights today to the heavyweight of the past, you will see the heavyweights today are much bigger but their stamina is ****.
    I see you can't accept it and have to babble on ....
    If steroids didn't give athletes and sportsmen an advantage they wouldn't be banned.
    Comparing HW's today of those of the past proves nothing of your argument.
    Generally most HW's of the past would now be fighting as Cruiserweights or Light heavy weights anyway.

      So you're trying to say that Ben Johnson didn't benefit at all from taking steroids? And if it helped him with the explosive quickness needed to break the world record in the 100m, you honestly don't think it helps in boxing at all? BTW, I love it when you call me a ******. When you start calling me a genius, then, I will start to worry.

        But if you look at most of the heavyweights, they really don't have great stamina. I think 90% heavyweights today are in steroids.
        most fighters tire towards the end of fights especially Boxers who rely on mobility & that is why majority of the time a Boxer will slow down towards the end of a fight & come foward agressive fighters have more successs in the later rounds because there oponent does'nt have the same reflexes & mobility he had in the early rounds ,that is where using Steroids plays a big part in enhancing your chances of winning ,there are small differences between winnning & losing in sport in general not just boxing & steroids is an easy way to bridge that gap ,its cheating plain & simple no matter the extent of the cheating it is what it is ,cheating


        im sure Gunstar would have the same philosophy if he had been Beaten by RJJ ,LOL

                It happened... he tested positive whether you believe it or not daydreamer.
                You probably believe WWE is not staged either.
                This is the real world ass-wipe and a cheat is a cheat.
                The trouble is with idiots like yourself you just can't handle the fact that Super Roy was Super fake.
                And old China Chops got his cummuppance and KNOCKED THE **** OUT brutally .
                And now he embarasses himself by fighting blown up past their best Welterweights.
                Then clowns like you think that China Chops is back in business.
                I love you ****** ****s.
                You make NSB a laugh a minute.

                  Watch James Toney/Danny Batchelder, both men were on steroids and looked like ****.

                  There is no scientific evidence about steroids improving your stamina. 90% heavyweights are in steroids and have ****ty stamina. Most of the world strongest men also have ****ty staminas.

                    Steroids might help a runner but it does not help a boxer. It does not improve your stamina and that's a fact.

                    I call you a idiot, is cause you don't know **** about boxing, you may be the smartest men alive for all I know but still you're an idiot when it comes to boxing.
