This was the behavior of a true warrior.” Meanwhile The kidnapping occurred before his fight with C level cherry picked opponent fielding, not ggg.

He's a terrific fighter but this attempt to whitewash getting course using clen doesn't cut it.
I looked into it in some detail at the time. The amount of clen in his body was NOT the kind of traces you can get from tainted meat. It was unnaturally high. And the fact that it isn't a steroid does not mean it isn't performance enhancing. It does help burn fat, build muscle and enhance performance. GGG was actually correct.
There are however other signs of the possible use of performance enhancing drugs. There is a very real limit to the amount of lean muscle that an athlete can put on in a given period e.g. in one month. People vary for sure, but there are real limits because there just is a cycle time required for a clean body to clean up the damage done by stressing the body with the necessary heavy exercise to build muscle and to circulate the necessary proteins into the muscle to rebuild the muscle and to do so bigger. This has been studied in enormous depth by sports scientists and, as you can imagine, by bodybuilders. So let's just park that reality for a moment.
Now bear in mind that boxers weigh in for fights, typically the day before. But when they do so they are absolutely ripped, they have flushed most of the water out of their bodies and the amount of glycogen in their muscle is cut back. So when you look at them on the scales they are pretty much reduced to internal organs, skin, skeleton and lean muscle. Why is this important? Because let's say a fighter competes at 160 then in his next fight at 168. If he flushed and ripped for both weigh ins that pretty much means he has gained 8 pounds of lean muscle. So the question is, how long does it take to put on that much muscle naturally? If you know the answer to that, within a range for sure, then you know whether the fighter has been using. If they have put on the 8 pounds say in three months that is a tough thing to do. The overwhelming majority of people can't put on more than half a pound of muscle a week even if all they are doing is strength training and resting. And bear in mind that boxers aren't body builders. Boxers aren't just doing strength training to maximize muscle gains.
Let's take an example. Canelo fought Jacobs on 2019-5-04 then fought Kovalev on 29-11-02. Was it possible for him to put on the pounds of lean muscle to step up to light heavy for that fight. I think so. It's about 6 months so if he was doing nothing but strength training he might expect to naturally put on about 12 pounds. And he was moving up from 168 to 175 which is 'only' 7 pounds. IMHO therefore that is feasible for him to do it naturally though it is tough because as noted he would not have been training just for muscle gains. Looking over Canelo's record his weight gains have been very carefully managed typically with months between fights so I believe it is perfectly feasible for him to have made the gains without steroids. This cannot be said for all fighters! (analyzing the Jones move up to heavyweight would be interesting).BaguMka likes this.
