    They enhance your performance. They wont make a bum into Floyd Mayweather.
    They could give someone who would normally lose a close competitive fight just enough to win over that same boxer I think.

    So either everyone gets to use them or no one gets to, I don't care either way as long as everyone gets to play on the level field.

      it all depends on what they been using, as there are dozens of diiferent PED's, but asfar as I understand Toney was using stuff that was increasing his red blood cell count, thats the stuff that gives you an endurance and sharpness. I think the same was with mosley. And as for Toney, his physique is exactly what could happen to a long time user if he gets off the stuff. Usually, person's hormonal balance is in shambles and thats what makes you ugly.

      PS. overabundance of food also leaves your hormonal profile creeped

        didn't make vargas, mosley or toney to better. mosley probably lost the 2nd fight w/ dlh.

            Performance enhancing drugs (the vast majority) are for TRAINING. So, yes. They do make you a better fighter.

            What did we always hear about the steroid users 'Oh, he trained so hard. He was the first one there and the last one to leave". Yeah... the drugs helped him to do that.

            If I can take drugs that allow me to train longer, harder and to recover faster than you...does that help me get better?

            It's not like I take a syringe and my power becomes 3x, or my jab becomes laser-like. No. But what happens is that I get to train longer, and harder. While you are wiped out, i still have the stamina to keep working.

            ...and all that extra training makes me better.

            That is why sports authorities have 'out of competition testing". MOST of the testing done by WADA is OOC. Because they know that it's during the training periods that people REALLY need the drugs.

            If I can train longer and get my lungs to expand and my red blood cells richer, I have the benefit (ON FIGHT NIGHT) of all that training....even though the drugs were out of my system since last week.

            Feel me?
            Really ? I bet Shane and Fernando disagrees with you.

              Which is why runners take them. Right?

                  but people seem to think... steroids or enhancement drugs make you the ultimate boxer.... they just make you big and strong..... they dont help on your jab, or your right hand, or your left hand, hook, or uppercut........ alot of people i know think steroids make you a better boxer.... they dont.... ........


                  anyone agree....


                  You are ofcourse right......it's not going to help your skill level....it allows you to train harder and therefore increase stamina and strength.


                  It's actually a misconception that they make you "big." That's just a by-product of being able to exercise more as the muscles recover quicker.....eventually allowing you to lift heavier and heavier weights which add size.

                  They aren't magic.....the work still needs to be put in.
