The reason the 90s heavyweights were so good is steroids duh

[Dr. Z]

You ever wonder why all those 90s heavyweights were jacked AF and threw haymakers at each other non stop without ever getting tired?

You watch the heavyweights today and even someone like Usyk doesn't look particularly special with his work rate compared to them.

Guys like AJ who are in insane shape throw half the punches of 90s heavyweights and still gas. Why is this? We're the genetics better in the 90s when all those guys were doing coke and drinking? Come on man.

Nevada didn't even do ANY testing for steroids until the 2000S, FACT LOOK IT UP


I know people are going to say "they are still on them today", and yeah maybe but they clearly aren't taking the piss anywhere near as much as they were in the 90s when they were pumped to the gills with inhuman levels of PED's

IMO the 1990-2000 timeline had many active Hall of fame members at heavyweight. I count 8 of them! The talent level is as high as it ever been. And the top talent fought top ten ring magazine contenders a lot more that they do today.

PED abuse was a problem with Holyfield. Who else? Morrison? Okay that is another. An honest man when he was retired and sick he was. The testing got tougher in the 2000's .

Hey Doc, didja know 90s mega fights were only made because steroids doe?


Sometimes you take a joke seriously so I'm telling you directly, I was being sarcastic and the point was on top of everything you said the 90s-2000s HWs had more meaningful fights.
