Do not worry Artur... I will drink your share of alcohol. No need to thank me. As a huge fan of yours it is a bullet I am willing to step in front of for you.
I drink alcohol. But I think when I finished drinking the bottle of whisky and 2 bottles of red wine and 2 bottles of champagne in my cupboard then I will take a break
Beterbiev definitely on something. No 40 year old fights like he does. People just want to believe.
all elite fighters are on PEDs.
but yes mid 30s used to be shot. that was normal in the 1980 and 1990s. look at Ali, SRL, hagler, Tyson, Chavez ect when they were considered "old" was in their early - mid 30s. Then some guys considered super shot like 38 year old Holmes vs Tyson. even 37 year old Lennox vs Vitali.
But now the guys in their mid 30s to early 40s its normal for them to compete with the young guys in their division. You got a lot of guys in their late 30s who are on top ruling the divisions. This started changing around early 2000s. Some people are dumb enough to think its protein shakes
just go down the P4P list and see the guys mid 30s and up. Usyk, Crawford, Fury, Beterbiev, Bivol, Canelo. There are hardly any guys in their 20s on there. Then try to do that in the 90s or 80s everyone is in their 20s in their prime back then.

they fought more often back then too. Higher rate of wear and tear
Boxing is devolving into once a year fighters like TBud
and fans are totally cool with this shrinkflation
they even get away with skipping out on necessary rematches when the opponent won 5 rounds in the last bout and was competitive until the end

I don't think all fighters are at on PEDs.. Some fighters fight like they are on PEDs and some don't, You get good fighters who are 38/39 but they don't look like Beterbiev. Stronger than all his opponents with unlimited stamina. Older fighters usually have to change the way they fight as they get older to compensate. You see them slow down and they have to use their brain more
