Shane Mosley must of been on the **** here..............

[Stickman]

For those guys here who think you can't get ripped like that without 'roids, you're way wrong. Some people can, some can't. I'm one of those guys who can, easily, and while some people think that's a gift (and it can be, in some ways), that's wrong too. I can't lift weights, at all. If I do, I pack on muscle like some people pack on fat when they eat nothing but carbs.

Some of you may think this is a great thing, but I can testify that it is NOT. I've struggled my entire life with endurance, and have been forced to work twice as hard as everyone else just to be on par with the guys I served with. If I stopped running for a week, it took me a month just to get back where I could make my 5 mile run again in a decent time and not be totally blown. Extra muscle needs more oxygen and energy, and causes you to gas sooner.

By the way, Mosley, in that photo, looks ripped, but not necessarily 'roided. He's not that huge, just very well conditioned, with very little body fat, and he's probably somewhat dehydrated at the time as well.

This is a picture of Shane where he is more defined and in the correct light, but there still seems to be a disparity between the two imo.

one is at a weigh-in and the other is when he is at fight-night with water back in his system.

****** ****** ****** post. Body shape does not equal drugs. Get a ****ing clue.

Which should be more in his favour because when you exercise the blood rushes to the muscle meaning your muscle definition will stand out more and you will look bigger because you have that pump on, so in theory Mosley actually looks more pumped there than he normally would and he still does not like any where near as toned or pumped as he does in the other pic.

You don't think Shane is excercsing before he jumps on to the scales to make sure he makes weight?
Look at him, he has a glaze coating on his body...that's sweat.

Not positive, but I've heard when bodybuilders are in peak condition for competition, on the day of the competition, they strip the body of water and then workout right before they go out on the stage. It keeps that shredded look while the pump in the muscles is actively seen. It's also why they nearly drop dead after the posing routine and can cramp up.

Aren't bodybuilders notorious for juicing? Doesn't that kinda hamper the argument?

Even if he is/was there is still a considerable disparity there.

Yes, and No. Yes, bodybuilders are notorious for juicing. But No, I don't think it is wipes away what I'm trying to say. What they are doing with working out before they get on stage or in this case with boxers working out before they jump on the scales, increases blow flow to the muscles to get that pump looked. Add that to the decrease in water in the muscles but with blood still filling them up, and you have a shredded pump look. At least I think.

He also looks relaxed in one picture and flexing for the other.

It's the same when you see a boxer in one picture that is relaxed before the punch but capture the fighter in active motion when he is punching and he looks shredded.

And of course you have lighting and quality of picture from the camera you use.

He is flexing with open hands? he is not flexing in either pic.
