    Tyson admitted being on coke in fights. So what if...

    Today's fighters had that same advantage?

    Do they become unbeatable monsters like Tyson was at a point?

    I cant see how ******* can help a boxer

    1-It speeds up your heart and shortens your breath and makes you feel like you are having a heart attack

    2-The high only lasts 10-20 minutes then you are coming down and feeling sluggish

      Tyson was high on coke only in the early 2000s. Most notably against Lou Savarese and Danny Williams.

      In retrospect, the post-fight rant after Savarese - the infamous one where he threatened to eat Lennox Lewis' children - appears now as a sign that something was indeed in his system.

        Some of the best to do it were on coke at frequent points. Arguello, Pryor, Benitez, Leon Spinks, Gerry Cooney, Macho Camacho, Whitaker...

        In a fight where you're knocking guys out inside of 5 minutes, as those guys often did, that high is long enough.

          I doubt they were high in the fight, its not even possible for that to be...a coke high doesnt even last that long

            Of that list, only Whitaker was a casual snorter. Camacho in particular was high in fights and it showed during his 'eye test' period. Twitchy, animated, walking through guys.

              Have you ever done coke?? if you have you would know it isnt possible for a boxer to be fighting high unless they were snorting in the corner between rounds....******* doesnt work like that at all man..guys would be so down after 30 minutes with would be sad

                Back in the 80's I did all kinds of things on coke. Confidence it gave me in spades, smarts, skill and athleticism, not so much.

                If true, Fury is lucky he didn't have a heart attack.

                    While it's true ******* diminishes physical abilities it can give you the upmost confidence in yourself and that goes a looong way in fighting. I'm sure it probably numbs the pain when fighting too, look at these crazy crackheads with their crackhead strength.
