    Why did you say he got an exemption for Testosterone? When did that happen?

      I've got no reason to suspect him any more than anyone else.

      His success was down to generational technical ability not outrageous physical abilities.

      He wasn't particularly high workrate, he wasn't a puncher, he wasn't mauling guys physically, everything he did was skill based.

        What about seemingly endless stamina and one in a million fast twitch muscle fibres?

        I would say Floyd Mayweather, of all people, had quite the outrageous physical ability.

          I heard a whisper that he trained like an animal, the word on his work ethic was legendary way before he was recognised as being great, I guess it doesn't pay to work harder than the next guy they only going to say you cheated, if only a pill could make a Floyd Mayweather we would be inundated with them.

                  There is a bridge in Brooklyn that has been flipped a million times I have for sale to the op if he thinks Floyd was clean. He never gained an ounce of fat as he jumped from 130 to low one 150's. He also delayed the aging process well into his late 30's and he was dominant for a long time in the Balco era and beyond.

                  Add up everything and reach your own conclusions.

                    Why did you think I was referring to you?

                      There's no question about that. With or without gear you still need the work ethic, and it's confirmed that Floyd is the hardest worker in the room whatever room he's in.

                      If Floyd was to be taking gear, which I personally would say almost definitely he was, you still need all the other components aswell; Heart, talent, skills, IQ, work ethic, chin, etc etc etc.

                      Gear won't make someone a great fighter, it just enhances what they already have.
