    The guys he lost to early in his career were good fighters, other than the first guy who was within Crollas first 10 fights. Sykes and Matthews in particular there is no shame losing to. Thats a tough apprenticeship

    Maybe he just learned on the job?

    I think you guys are judging him too harshly.
    It's not just the fact he lost to those guy's and is now stopping guys on the world scene.

    Look at his head dude.

    It's grown.

      Ive never taken any notice of that stuff to be honest

      For me, they fail a test they are dirty. If not, they are still probably dirty, but im not gonna accuse them based on conjecture and pseudo science

          Its all guesswork really though isnt it. You are calling something a turd from a distance.

          If you were right next to the turd and you had ya nose buried right in there giving it a good old sniff then i would say you can judge pretty easily. But we dont

            I've thought this aswell,Anthony C"roid"lla is a disgrace to the sport ,how dare he stop tomato cans and get a haircut that gives a different perception on his head size.

            p.s the weigh in pic and the ring picture you posted as a comparison are too hard to compare,if you were ever shredded or even had a 1 pac you'd notice the weigh in lighting defines muscles more so than in ring pictures...same with any fighter,look at a weigh in pic of manny then look at the in ring pic the day after

                Come on man, did the haircut give him his new power as well?

                there's being a fan and then there's being naive.

                as for stopping can's? that doesnt make any sense, when he was fighting can's he was not stopping them and losing to them.

                the minute he steps to world level, he's KO'ing dudes...

                  Steroids don't make your head grow. HGH can if you take a lot of it, but a lightweight boxer isn't going to be doing that!

                    does that bring up any red flag's for you?
                    You're talking about 2 fights with perfectly placed body shots, that's all. It's not as if he's wiped out opponents with jabs like Povetkin for example. In both those fights, it was pretty close too.

                      ....but let's just say it like it is, the dude is clearly on something.

                      He is struggling and losing against british level guy's, SUDDENLY after he steps up to world level, his head grows, he is suddenly ripped to shreds, he is beating and stopping fringe/world level guy's and we're supposed to ignore the obvious because ' he's a really nice guy'.

                      cmon now, he was a tiny guy who couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag, and he has now transformed into a totally different guy.

                      Improving as a fighter over the years is one thing...

                      This is a totally different thing...
                      Brit here and I said this a few years ago so yeah I agree with you something seems fishy but I dunno we can't really solidly prove it.
