Fighting Once per Year Secret Fountain of Youth

[SouthpawRight]

it's working for TBud Usyk and Artur

is one a year the new way to go once a fighter hits his midlate 30s

their older bodies don't recover as quickly

the extra time off gives them adequate rest and recovery

For some guys it's poison, others its medicine.

No difference than the genetics lottery.

probably true

IDK what arthur does to still make 175 after all these years. must eat like a monk in his time off, i know he dont drink

i mean he fought at 200 amateurs when the russian team swapped him out from light heavy

ok in seriousness, I am someone who believes all elite athletes are on PEDs


I have been saying for years the biggest clue in boxing is all the older guys dominating the younger guys and how common its become and you can see when the trend really started in the early 2000s.

1980s mid 30s was geriatric. Look at SRL, hagler, ect all pretty much shot by mid 30s. Larry holmes was like 38 when he fought tyson and considered shot to hell.

90s was kind of a transition period, we still seen guys like say chavez or whitaker pretty shot by mid 30s.

by 2000s you can see it becoming very common, Lewis, JMM, Hopkins, Floyd, Pac, Mosley, Wlad, these guys were not only still doing well but dominating their divisions AFTER 35. that was super rare.

And we can see how its still common today. And a lot of people want to say its because they have better protein shakes. Im not aware of some major protein shake advancement after the 90s


people also care too much about tests. remember when they busted balco those guys like mosley he never failed a test they just found his dosing calendar in the files during the raid. People act like they havent found new was to beat the tests

The typical replies I see when i bring up fighters being on peds is everyone wants to believe THEIR favorite fighter is clean and all their fighter's rivals are on PEDs.

I am looking at it as a general trend across the sport for decades. They want to pick and chose who they think is on peds, and usually its guys that never failed a test. So if they claim fighter A can take peds and not fail a test what makes them think THEIR FAVORITE fighter isnt doing the same thing? or for that matter that its not common place as the tour de france where ALL of them are on it, which is the most likely scenario. Then is it even cheating if they all do it

elite pro athletes do steroids like corporations break the rules

do it, get caught, pay a fee, and continue business as usual

Finally someone realistic

Most people get butthurt if I imply their favorite fighter might be on peds cause everyone wants to think only their guy is clean. I'm looking at the trend and it's EVeRYONE on peds.

I'm also tired of people looking at bodys and saying they can tell by their physiques Fury and Toney were confirmed on steroids and bubber asses, it's for recovery and strength and then all the stamina peds like EPO.

How do you even compete in the 11th round with a guy whose on EPO, you better be on it too

[daggum]

im sure it has something to do with ped cycles as well

game theory

your opps are highly likely to be roided

dont give them this advantage

it isn't about roiding it's about whether caught or not
