If Bruce Lee, Prime Ali, and Prime Tyson

[paulf]

.....were fighting today, I guess they'd get called steriod users too, because when someone reaches the top of the sport, the lower guys are going to start talking ****.

Former-126lber Pacquiao dominates a guy who destroyed Paulie and would easily destroy Cintron, and the two of them accuse Pac of cheating. Sore losers anyone?

And isnt this three bad fight predictions in a row for mayweather sr?

You guys may not like this odd-looking fillipino dominating the most popular division of boxing, but it is what it is, the better fighter is left standing.

Ah...no. Ali naturally grew into HW from LH (at the Olympics) because he was still very young. And his ability was always there. With Tyson, again, another freak of nature at an early age which you can see pictures of him from 13-17 of what he looked like as well as stories and videos of how he fought before even turning pro. Hell, he was faster and more ripped at 15 than he was at 20. And with the natural maturity into "Man-stage" he was bound to get bigger and better. However, there has been talk with him doing something at some point from anywhere of steroids, HGH, and of course, either ******* to get ripped (when he came out of jail) or diuretics because Tyson got a bit lazy and continued to balloon up in weight more so after jail than even when he was with King before prison. How true? who knows. Although he did have a drinking, weed, and other street-drug problem that he admits.

Bruce Lee: many people actually think he used steroids, cortisone and diuretics. Note: Steroids weren't frowned upon nor illegal during that time.

Maybe Henry Armstrong would have been a better choice.

Its the fact that he has moved up so quickly and seems so tough and super strong that makes people su****ious. Not just him being good.

I dont think it has been suggested Floyd was on steroids when he moved up with such ease and dominated opponents.

Very few fighters have been able to carry their power with them, plus Pac seems tough as nails.

I don't think Armstrong continued to get better nor did he increase his weight nearly as much. Either way, Armstrong doesn't have what Pac has: modern training and nutrition.

Floyd moved up with ease...really?

Floyd started at 130 and now fights as a WW/147. He went from 130 to 135 because he was starting to starve himself to make 130, the weight he started his career at. At 135, he stayed about a year ??? then went up to 140 where he stayed for ??? another year or so...then moved up to 147 where he would show up at 145/under 150 for his fights/fight-time weight...so basically he was a JrWW fighting at WW. Hell, even Pac and Castillo were 145+ at LW/135 by fight-time. And Floyd routinely came in around 147+ by fight-time until his retirement. Plus, Floyd declined when he moved up to 147 compared to his days from 130-140.

Could he have used something? Of course. Look at the era. Everybody is suspect.

Tom Bleeker talks about this in his book Unsettled Matters. Linda Lee threatened to take libel action against him, but later on decided to drop the case, so there might be truth to those accusations.
