Is Usyk on steroids?

KO's are down 78% among roid users

I believe he's on peds, along with Floyd. but this is just my opinion.

[BustedKnuckles]

He's as physically strong as men 30-40lbs bigger than him, see pushing AJ and fury around in the clinch.

But where are the KOs then?

[Brother Mouzone]

Who cares ?, it's 2025 all top tier athletes are on some type of PEDs IMHO they just fall into 2 categories those that get caught and those that don't.Does not change their accomplishments PEDs are not some miracle drug the athlete still puts in the work .

Usyk is incredibly sketchy but he's also incredibly popular so people don't ask questions.

That's because he's technical in the clinch and they're not. Go to a wrestling, BJJ, or combat sambo gym and ask to go one round with their smallest fighter and see how it goes for you. When you've got advantageous positions (foot, head, body), etc and you know how to use leverage properly, etc, it functions as a strength multiplier.

A great example from the same gym is Loma vs Nakatani. Look at how he chooses whether to accept the clinch, and how he puts his bodyweight vs the biceps, etc. He's clearly a smaller, weaker man, but look at how he dominates the clinch. Most boxers do not spend much time on the technical aspects of clinch fighting. Those that do will have a huge advantage over those that don't. All Fury and AJ tend to do in the clinch is just try to lie on their opponents and make them support the weight. But you don't have to let them do that.

As for stamina, that's something you train. I'm in my 40's and I can still go 15+ rounds with the youngsters at my gym and outwork them, because I train for it.

Yet AJ was able to match Ngannou in the clinch who is a 270lb UFC champion, but Usyks few sambo lessons made all the difference.

He's suss, I know people don't like it, he is.

The Olamepics are trying to get in on the boxing craze ....

"There isn't any Olympic sport that currently allows the use of steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). The use of PEDs is strictly prohibited in the Olympic Games and other major sporting competitions governed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
However, there is a proposed multi-sport event called the Enhanced Games that intends to allow athletes to use performance-enhancing substances, including steroids, without facing penalties."
