Comments Thread For: Joshua Weighs in at 250 Pounds; Klitschko Weighs 240 Pounds

There are plenty of images of Joshua with a slightly roided gut in sideways with his previous weight ins, i mean it is not extreme as what you would see on a roided body builder but it is there, maybe its just the way he is build. just google it if you don't know what that looks like

@ this wait a few pounds is not really a difference but I would be more concerned about Klitch, almost 10 pounds under his last time he fought weight , mayb overtrained??

Please read the comment I just did after you. It directly adress to you..

I'm in better shape than 99.9% of the posters on this message board. I lift, diet, and box regularly. I nearly deadlift 3x my bodyweight and squat a bit above 2x my body weight. I don't train to powerlift, either.

So no, I'm not out of shape. Nor am I jealous or anything. In fact, AJ is my 3rd favorite active fighter currently.

The fact is, you know **** about professional athletes and how rampant drug use really is. You don't know how easy it is to use steroids and not get caught if you have a brain.

You post AJ and Wlad on any dedicated message board to fitness and lifting, and you'll get the same consensus: both are roid users.

Maybe you should start lifting and learning more about roids by researching. I don't care what AJ looked like in the Olympics. Plenty of Olympic Champions who don't get caught until years after. Some that never get exposed despite it being obvious (i.e., Michael Johnson).

I'm from Texas. There's lots of kids who start even in high school who start using roids for football here.

Joshua throwing his fist up so that his abdomen stretches out and people don't notice his roid gut.

lol @ people talking about AJ being on gear because of "roid gut"

he's got thick abdominal walls which isn't uncommon for a young athlete who is very lean and does WEIGHTED AB WORK like we have seen joshua doing in loads of videos

no comments about Wlad looking like that at FOURTY ONE?

You know testosterone levels sharply decline after late 30s....

What people are referring to here is HGH (Human Growth Hormone) gut. It does really look like AJ has that in many pictures. It's highly likely most of these guys have used PED's at some point in their careers anyway.

Funny that I was just thinking that although Klitschko is probably juiced up also, he looks more natural whereas Joshua looks highly manufactured, Klitschko has visibly larger bone structure and looks lean. Joshua is on a host of gear pushing it, Klitschko is maybe using something just to keep himself young.

There's nothing natural about a 41 year old man who is packing more muscle than most men half his age. Both of these guys are on the gear.

Joshua in particular has gotten too big in my opinion. It will be interesting to see how all that mass affects his mobility, speed, and stamina.

Wlad has been a weak paper champ fighting bums for ten years as champ in a weak Heavy division of no talent. Joshua Ko's Wlad as the world cheers Joshua.

You're a moron. There's nothing "paper" about a champ who fought virtually every contender and even unified belts with other champs..
It's not his fault the division was not as glamorous as those of past years.
Like it or not, wlad is an all-time great heavyweight champ who would've fared well against any of the other great champs in history

Man, this just rocketed my hype up x100 for some reason. Like, no matter what happens this is going to be a big night.
