Gyppo Saunders has slowed down due to shiteness.

[QUOTE=Boxing Logic;17673337]As a GGG fan myself, we will honestly never know if it's testing, age, opponents, etc or what, if he was just overrated as you said. I really don't think the guy who demolished Prokska and Macklin was overrated, because that dude was faster and had boundless energy, but he definitely hasn't looked as good his last two fights. Then again, Brook and Jacobs are both skilled, well rounded, top fighters with a lot of speed in both cases and speed and length in Jacobs case, and GGG is 35 years old. I really do think slight aging + difficult opponents have combined to produce the last two performances. Plus, GGG may be getting bored of camps.

But, it's possible he was juicing just like most fighters probably are. Hell, Kovalev has gassed halfway through seemiThe ngly every fight since meldonium became illegal and VADA did his fights, I think. Ward obviously hasn't looked great under VADA fights either. Lomachenko and Crawford are the only one who have actually become more spectacular the last couple years, not less, and guess what they're the only ones in the top group not taking VADA yet.

But of course, they're also the only ones who are in their prime years, so of course they would get better, right? So you can really never know and that's another thing that sucks about this sport.[/QUOTE

That's one of the best replies I've seen on this site

[GMAN SUPREME]

not a pac poster, but are we going to act like Floyd didn't illegally rehydrate with IV with a retroactive exemption from the corrupt USADA?


he's the one caught red handed.


Pac still clean.


just facts.

lol these flom0s always turn a blind eye to the IV and having fights at catch weights. accuse others of cheating when their savior was the one caught cheating. bunch of ****** hypocrites. but but pac doe

Bullseye! Probably a combination of both VADA and better competition.

Edwards has gone out of his way in his columns to point out he thinks GGG is one of the few clean champs.

His point therefore is that GGG upped his competition level and looked less fearsome.

People hating on GGG and not giving Jacobs enough credit.

Breadman's point is that when you see a 35 year old athlete looking superhuman against good level competition then check to see if they are under Vada testing. He even goes further and says that if they are the undisputed A side and in a position to demand vada testing but don't then it looks even more su****ious (Canelo anyone?)

check out his columns carefully - not hard to do as searching on his name in this forum will bring 'em all up.

Does the **** who Wrote This Not Know GGG tested for last few Years

Dumb statement by Suanders. What's his excuse for looking bad. GGG whooped Brook and Jacobs. Him slowing down is beat the hell out of guys.

Billy Goat Saunders might not be too far off with this!

The commie with the schooling of Soviet Stalin boxing style masquerading as "Mexican style" seems like the type to gain advantages behind cameras and use his image as a front!

No doubt if true, Golovkin will get his judgement call in September when Canelo serves up an all you can eat leather on the menu!

But still, I'll be rooting for Khurtszide to knock out Saunders who's been holding the title captive for too long!

Not sure that differs greatly from what was said. VADA prevents adding a little extra like other 30 something fighters who look super strong late in fights do. So the combo of VADA and improved comp is the likely reason he looks normal. Whether or not he juiced 2 years or so ago is anyone's guess and likely to go unknown.

Saunders done effed up and he knows it. He has,...or had for better words, a potential big money fight with GGG and has messed up that opportunity. There is some grey area on the time line it seems and whether that is true fact or not, we may never know. But now he's gone and run his mouth and got himself backed up into a corner with this little "mini Mike Tyson" fighter. I've been watching this guy and he's all about business. Not much style or grace, but more like a mauling stalker that doesn't know the meaning of stepping backwards,..at all. I believe ole BJS is in for a real scolding and will be put to sleep before the final bell. If I'm right, Billy Joe can kiss that big payday check with GGG GOODBYE!!!!!

[doninlouisiana]

Brook Golovkin and Lemieux were tested but not Jacobs. I'm assuming Golovkin will be tested for the Canelo fight. Canelo is he being tested also?

If I'm not mistaken, no VADA for this fight, either camp.
