The fighters in the 70s and 80s must have all been on steroids

[Elroy The Great]

why are boxing fans so apprehensive when it comes to calling out possible roids from the 70s-90s but dont hesitate to shame a guy whos never failed a test

[Cutthroat]

A lot of athletes were roided and coked up back in those days.

Even the NBA had a massive coke problem, it was estimated around 40%+ of players were using it. It got a lot of attention when the heir to Jordan, Len Bias, died from an OD of coke.

Shyt, even Tyson admitted to using cocaine in major fights

During that time guys like Arnold were STARTING to experiment with roids...but by todays standards, there's more benefit from legal "suppliments" than roids tech back then. Boxers very well may have been on stimulants (think adderall)
