Top fighters finding power late in careers

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Lots of guys are just heavy handed ie foreman

but others are just juiced out of their minds....

Ped's don't improve power or speed so why take em if there not enhancing anything? if it's all technique then they should be taking technique enhancing drugs.

He will say it's just for stamina but we both know that's garbage.

So do you think Wladimir is on something?

The dude is super 'in shape' year round.

lol at black fans saying Pacquiao hahahahaha

seriously though, colins is a terrible example, he was stopping guys cos he was fighting fighters who were shot

[Boxing Goat]

To be honest I thought Marquez was clean until the Alvarado fight... he hasn't tested positive but the acne was something else

Toney looked like a beast in that fight. Too bad he was most likely juicing in it too.

Advanced ages but not shot.

So is hopkins, and many other truely professional fighters,,, True pros stay in shape year round, and i dont think that makes you a ped user, just a true professional that takes their craft serious..

In terms of wlad, he had good technique and great size... I dont have any reason to think he is juicing, but IMO lots of top guys are juicing, i dont know which ones, but i think nearly everyone is juicing at the very top..
The money is just too good, and there is virtually no consequences

almost shot = you're ready to get stopped. it was hardly immense, world chattering power though, unlike what we've seen from Marquez.

[Divine Hammer]

marquez is a good example.

a prime marquez had decent power, but never the one punch KO/KD type power. he mostly just broke guys down with crisp combination punching, and the majority of the guys he stopped weren't really top fighters.

but at age 39/40 he is Ko'ing and knocking guys down with single shots.

i mean he knocked alvarado halfway across the ring and almost completely out of it with 1 shot.

While in shape year round, Hopkins never had that 'yoked up' physique like some guys. He never had popping veins, etc. He's just always looked good at whatever weight he was fighting at. Wlad is yoked always.
