    Foreman, Duran, Pedroza on PED's?

    I hear one of the main examples on why people believe Pac is on PED's is that his punch resistance improved. That he took Cotto best punches and smiled.

    So does that mean that we should be su****ious of Foreman, Duran and Pedroza?

    George Foreman gets stopped by Ali and dropped by Jimmy Young in his prime, comes back and is walking through punches like the Terminator.

    Roberto Duran gets dropped at 135 twice by Esteban Dejesus. He fights Hagler at 160 10 yrs later and Barkley at 160 17 years later and neither guy was able to put him down. Can anybody say DeJesus was a bigger puncher than Hagler or Barkley.

    Eusebio Pedroza was one of the best featherweights ever. But before that he was stopped 3 times at bantamweight. All guys who got dropped or stopped at lower weights, went up in weight and showed a good chin.

    Good examples. But Ali was a puncher as well as a slick boxer.

        For Foreman, his early knockdowns also had to do with his ****ty balance, which he fixed in his comeback.

          ali had some pop when he sat down on his punches.

          plus some of his fights he let a lot of guys slide or carried them.

            He was, but he faced some punchers to in the 90's and just walk through them like it was nothing....

                Trust me Ali hit harder than Holy, morrison, and Cooney that Foreman took on. Ali basically had the power to knock any opponent he faced out, but would rather choose to get a 15 round workout in.

                  hopkins dropped by mercado at 160 then goes to 175 & just dominates tarver.


                  must peds or all that ass bernard got in jail made his punch resistance stronger.

                    In this book http://www.amazon.de/Hands-Stone-Leg.../dp/190385475X it is described how Duran is takin certain things which imo are nothing else than Doping. Maybe its exaggerated, but it is written, that they give certain substances to horses... Sometimes Duran gets crampes from these chemical ingredients.

                    I really dont know what was really going on in the oldschool days, but I am sure, that any boxer or professional is using substances which are illegal or semi-legal. Or maybe they used them once a while.
