Does anyone think Pavlik will make a serious run at super middleweight?

No PED make your skull big! Don't make your self like a dumb fu

Ever seen Barry Bonds? Roger Clemens?

It's called "chemical enhancement." Notice how both men didn't want Olympic-style blood and urine testing for this one.

At the very least, it would have quieted speculation about both men (with Mosley it's not even speculation as he has admitted under oath to using PEDs).

Boxing should lead the way in this area, considering the dangers every fighter faces in the ring. Chemically loading your gloves isn't acceptable any more than using plaster in them is.

But when you see the people here oohing and ahhing over Mosley's "ripped" physique for this fight (why didn't he look like that for the Floyd fight?), you see how great the temptation to juice must be for these guys.

At least in tennis, if Nadal and Federer are juicing, they're not in danger of killing someone or being killed.

ya i do if he can get his focus and killer instinct back, it seems like in his last few fights he was kind of getting caught up in his own hype (im sure the drinking wasnt helping) but im just glad hes back and ready to fight and make some serious noise at 168

[BoZz]

they both look ripped

Do I think he will? Not decided. have to see if he can let punches go at this weight. Do I think he CAN? if he can let punches go yes, MOST of the SMWs get hit, and if he can hit them he can beat them. I think he can beat AA, Froch, Kessler, Johnson, and even possibly Bute. I'd stay far far away from Ward or Dirrell if I were him and not because I think they are great or anything just it's been proven that speed and lateral movement give him SOME trouble. Even though none of the guys at SMW have movement or stamina like the ALL TIME PED champ ( Martinez is from CYCLING for pities sake) there's just no reason to take them unless he proves he can beat all of the less skilled fighters at SMW.

Damn !!! Mosley is ripped !!!! Even more ripped than Pacquiao ! Pac looks great also though. I take it back this fight might be competitive, however I still think the youth and speed of Pacquiao might be too much. I got Pac by 12 UD.

OK addition knowledge for your brain
HGH:
What is it?
Human growth hormone, also known as gonadotropin, is a hormone that has an anabolic effect. Athletes take it to improve muscle mass and performance. However, it hasn't been shown conclusively to improve either strength or endurance. It is available only by prescription and is administered by injection.

Risks
Adverse effects related to human growth hormone range in severity and may include:

Joint pain
Muscle weakness
Fluid retention
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Impaired glucose regulation
Cardiomyopathy
Hyperlipidemia
Erythropoietin

EPO:

What is it?
Erythropoietin is a type of hormone used to treat anemia in people with severe kidney disease. It increases production of red blood cells and hemoglobin, resulting in improved movement of oxygen to the muscles. Epoetin, a synthetic form of erythropoietin, is commonly used by endurance athletes.

Risks
Erythropoietin use among competitive cyclists was common in the 1990s and allegedly contributed to at least 18 deaths. Inappropriate use of erythropoietin may increase the risk of thrombotic events, such as stroke, heart attack and pulmonary edema.

So where in the list of side effect that makes people BIG HEAD?
