If Mosley used Roids' for the 2nd ODLH fight.....

[god of war]

Mosley doesn't even believe it helped him, citing the fact that so many believed that De La Hoya deserved the decision in the fight.

"If that stuff is supposed to help, it didn't do nothing," he said. "It hurt me. It was a close fight and I got the decision."

Mosley said when he fought De La Hoya the first time, in June 2000, he hadn't used anything and won more easily.

"So, to me, it really hurt me a little bit," Mosley said.

I've noticed that whenever boxers get caught from steroid-use, they usually lost the fight that they used steroids in or performed worse than usual.

Actually not so much in boxing but in MMA for example. I can only recall one or two occasions where a MMA fighter who was caught from steroid-use actually benefited from it (as in winning the fight, obviously it helped them in training).

Even in boxing Toney and Batchelder both looked terrible against each other (both caught from steroid-use), Vargas was KO'd by DLH, Cruz Carbajal lost to Mabuza, also Holyfield was on a losing streak when rumours came out that he had ordered steroids/HGH as 'Evan Fields'.

I believe steroids caught up with Holyfield in the Bowe 3 and Moorer 1 fight.

Possibly. I always thought Holyfield was a better fighter when he was lighter, around 190-205 lbs.

I believe it may have gone as follows.

Holyfield fights Bowe and decides to mix it up with the bigger man and he loses the fight. Holyfield reflects on the defeat and realizes he lost, because he was just not big enough. Holyfield used some type of steroid to bulk himself up a bit more for the second fight and he wins the fight.

Holyfield fights Michael Moorer loses and shows signs of side effects from steroid use. Hoyfield fight Bowe 3 more classic side effects of a steroid user contracting hepatitis.

Mosley struggled, but again, DLH fought a better fight than the first time around. DLH was more adjusted to 154 and Mosley hadn't been fighting well at the time.

What is Mosley suppsed to say? "Yeah, I fought better when I won after using steroids and EPO".
