Did fighters of the 80s, 80s and 90s use PEDS?

"give me the other bottle! the one i mixed!"

panama lewis, asking for a special water bottle prior to aaron pryor's late round surge against arguello.


you don't mix water with other water, lol...

[SplitSecond]

there's a book out there that talks about something roberto duran got to make wieght for the second leonard fight.

"something they gave to horses" was the wording, IIRC. they've been giving horses hormones and other PEDS for far longer than they've been giving them to men.



i don't think it's nearly the science today that it used to be, but i'm sure there were plenty of guys on something.


if you recall, the "steroid era" in baseball was the 90's and early 2000's. guys were knocking the f#cking cover off of baseballs.

I know Robinson used to drink blood.

I know Robinson used to drink blood.

yep, i remember that

[IMDAZED]

More than we could imagine. Based on the type of steroids those guys were using, you could practically tell just by looking at them.

Tmt fans trying to drag down past greats ..

I see right through the op's agenda.

Everyone does it. No big deal. Floyd isnt the only one.


Nope. This is the Ped era.
Floyd is the pioneer of peds in boxing
He made 30 percent of his career a fraudulent career
By his own choices. He ruined his own legacy with peds and being a coward and a duck and a calculated cherry picker.

Overated fighter

Of course, it's a combat sport.

Before steroids they used to come into the ring high off PCP.

Or something similar I'm sure.

[Eff Pandas]

Yes. Everyone knows those old timey modern guys were all hopped up on bull semen & hamster testosterone. Its a little known fact Ray Mancini OD'd on bull semen back in 84 right after the Bobby Chacon bout which effectively ended his career as an elite fighter.

When you look at fighters from the 40-50s and fighters of today, the difference in physique wasn't all that big, they also showed signs of wearing down late in fights just like fighters of today (granted they fought longer), but when u compare these to fighters of the 70s, 80s and 90s, everything looks totally different in my eyes, the physique of fighters of the 80s looked like those of cartoon characters, I don't wanna say any names in specific so that fanboys don't flood the thread with childish stuff.

The question is, did u guys also notice that difference or is it just me that fighters of the 80s and 90s looked better physically and had a better stamina and probably more power on average than fighters from the past and also fighters of today? it's understandable that they would be stronger and better physically than fighters before them, but what about the current fighters who all look like they're in poorer shape than the ones in the 80s?

From What I know, drugs testing at the time wasn't as advanced as it is now and a lot of people in different sports were also doping, is there a high probability that these guys were on PEDs that would be banned today?

LOL, I see what you are doing fanboy. You are trying to minimize Floyds use of PED. At least you are coming to grips that he did use them.

That bull semen is another. Like I mentioned Robinson used to drink blood. Eating some worms is another. But this stuff is legal, and if these guys had steroids I don't think they'd be taking this stuff.

Does Marquez still drink his urine?

[M Bison]

70s I don't think so...
80's perhaps a small amount
90's I think this is the ripe era for it, late 80s and straight into the 90s.
