Why Do People Here Think AJ is Juicing?

[Lopez_Boxing]

Cause he has muscles and they have never worked out a day in their lives. So it must mean he is on something

I work out. I'm not saying it because he has muscles. Anyone who has completed P90X knows what 90 days of working out can do to your physique. And I stated the same comment when Marquez muscles' came into play before the PAC 4 fight. Those people saying because of that reason are ignorant (and not in the smart ass disrespectful way). In all reality I can't say he is or isn't. But I would put money on every fighter using before I said they were clean. It's just the nature of the sport at this stage. Especially when you know the next man is.

LOL, It is possible. very possible, in under 3 years

Hahaa it's possible within a year. People go to prison for a year or 2 and come out HUGE. And they have limited resources. Imagine what a millionaire with the best nutritionist, trainers, and knowledge can do. Mix in the luck of good genetics and it's easier than one might think

If he is he's on some top level type crap cause he gets tested year round in the UK and he does Vada if i'm not mistaken.

Boxers arent bodybuilders and bodybuilders who look like AJ are juiced to their eyeballs
When you see a true natural bodybuilder they are far smaller than AJ

Its far more likely he is on steroids then hes not
Anyone who has good knowledge about current PEDS will know how to pass drug tests, like a Heredia or a Balco. So someone passing a drug test means nothing. Lance Armstrong passed it for years, so many many other athletes who were really juicing.

Has anyone here actually worked out in an actual gym before? lol
Guys whove been working out for years dont have AJs muscularity (not even close) and those who do are gym junkies who are blatantly on steroids.

Also AJs training isnt designed to build a lot of muscle, he does mainly bodyweight crossfit and boxing training ie hitting the bag and pads. That type of training doesnt build a lot of muscle.
Where are the 300lbs bench presses? 300lbs Barbell rows or 400-500lbs deadlifts? He doesnt even weight train lol and if he does his boxing training would interfere with him putting on significant amounts of muscle.

PEDS are Rampant in not just boxing but all sports because everybody knows the majority of competitors are juicing and only want a level playing field, ie Marquez against Pacquiao.

Most people on here are going to be 100% positive Joshua isn't juicing. They will act like they have personally been watching everything Joshua does behind closed doors, and personally seen that he has never taken PEDS.

The funniest is when people say I have a friend who's huge, does this and that, and ISN'T juiced. My brother used to juice, and would tell EVERYONE till he was blue in the face that he didn't do steroids. Guess what, people believed him, and probably went around sayin man I know this HUGE guy who doesen't take steroids.

People are gullible as ****. Tests don't give you a definitive answer. At the end of the day, nobody here really knows whether or not Joshua is juicing. If I was a betting man, I'd say he's juicing. I wouldn't bet on Joshua actually getting caught though. And sure, I could be wrong, but anyone who says with 100% certainty that Joshua is clean, is IMO, extremely naive.

I don't think Joshua is as lean as he appears, in a lot of his press photos yes, due to lighting and probably oils etc, he appears ripped, but he holds quite a bit of body fat on fight night. And yes when I said it's possible, it won't be for everyone, but with an insane work ethic, and the right nutrition and training program gaining 20lbs of lean mass is not out of the question for someone who is already as big as Joshua already was.

Nah bro I'm agreeing with you. I don't think it's as hard as people are trying to make it. And like you said Joshua is a big dude as it is

THIS EXACTLY!! To the T. The main problem is people are to gullible and naive. To think doctors and drug testing officials can't be bought, brided, blackmailed, or paid off is insane. I don't understand how it is so easy to believe a judge or a ref can be on the payroll, but totally out of the question a fighter can't pay a guy a grand or 2 to turn his head while he pours his girlfriends piss in a cup

I didn't find Joshua on VADA's webpage...

[SugarRayCurtain]

this is just simply not true...buddy of mine works out for an hour a day 4-5 days a week and smokes ciggerettes/drinks with no steriods/peds ...and he is absolutely RIPPED..and no 300 pound deadlifts or anything crazy of that nature

So your friend is 250lbs shredded?
I dont even recall a heavyweight in the last 50 years whos as muscular as AJ.

Shannon Briggs? Guy just got popped for steroids

Some of you really need to understand how difficult it is to build muscle mass when you've been a professional athlete and/or lifting for a while, and/or are old.

I'm pretty sure AJ gained like 20 pounds of muscle in less than a year. It's not like he had just started lifting, either. He had already been lifting for some time prior to that. You don't build that much muscle mass that quickly unless you're on a bulk and new to lifting, unless you are roofing up. It's called newbie gains. The average goal is to aim for 1 lb a muscle a month for anyone that's lifted for a while, and of course, it gets more difficult the more you reach your potential and/or the older you get and testosterone production decreases.

This is why I recognize Pacquiao, Marquez, Mayweather jr., Klitschko, etc... they all use performance enhancing drugs, maybe not always but certainly during some portion of their career.


Look at Floyd, 1 year prior to McGregor fight vs his pics showing off a month prior. He made incredible gains in a short amount of time. Notice the upper body (shoulders, traps) in particular. If you didn't realize it, your body has more androgen receptors in the upper reguons, hence, why many roid users have such developed parts in that area. This isn't an attack on him, but rather an attempt to teach some of you guys something about roid usage other than back acne, gyno, and GH gut.
