"Roid Gut" doesn't come from the use of steroids, they come from the use of HGH and Insulin.

In the case of HGH, on an adult, not only re-activates muscle grow but also organ grow. That's why bodybuilder's guts sometime looks like they are going to explode. Abdominal walls have to expand to accommodate the enlarged organs.

In the case of insulin, it produces what is called "Visceral fat", which is fatty deposits around some of the visceral organs. That is why bodybuilder guts expand.

Having said that... I don't think HGH or insulin has any advantage for any athlete other than a bodybuilder, which is looking for pure mass.

Do I think the use steroids.... YES (41 year old guys doesn't look like that) but I don't buy that "Roid Gut" theory because HGH and insulin, rather than help them, would hurt them in the ring.

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

You took the words right out of my mouth. Great post.

I was never really sure about how many boxers are using roids, but after reading in th eDaily Bread column that virtually all high roller betters wait to find out if the 2 fighters will be subject to WADA testing before placing a bet - I was like WTF!

That was an eye opener to me. I have far more faith in what high roller professional gamblers are doing than all the armchair commentators on this forum come out with - certain posters excluded.

I can see twenty something pro athletes looking very toned but anyone looking like that over 35 yrs old is suspect imo.

Roids?! F*** there must be some out of shape slobs on this forum. Get off your keyboard and go to a gym ffs.

Okay, post your body pic... because obviously where you're from 9/10 people look like Anthony Joshua, lmfao!

There is a whole forum discussion on bodybuilding.com where they're debating on the likelihood of Aj using, this is from people who actually do use the stuff and the overwhelming majority seem certain of him being on them.

For the record I don't have a problem with steroids, I think they should be legal... well some of them should, if there is a way to moderate them so people aren't taking excessive amounts of them then yes I agree, taking steroids is no more harmful to you than smoking 20 cigs a day or going out every weekend and absolutely necking it back, in fact, it's probably less damaging than those two when you're using them in cycles and not doing excessive amounts.
