    naa,,,if anything I think they were a detriment for him. big thick muscles arent good for boxing. his left hook power was due to his technique. he threw it very short with maximun leverage and tremendous speed for a 200+ lb guy. opponents couldnt see it coming. some of his knockout with that hook were damn brutal

      that's what i was saying earlier, juice might give you mass but they wont teach you leverage or how to sit down on your punches and throwing them from angles that maximize that force. i believe tommy was all natural there, but now he seemed to loose all that mass over the years. if you look at the recent videos his upper body is pretty big, but he's got toothpick arms. eventhough the guy loved to juice he was still worthy of a main event
