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

[Larry the boss]

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.

A ******* high only lasts about 10-20 minutes..unless they are hitting it between rounds it does no good..plus it would kill stamina they would damn near die in the ring

[Doritos]

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

Hit a 0.2 line of 90% swag and you'll be lit for 60 minutes bro.

I'd imagine Tyson was getting some grade A+ **** back then with his money & hookups, probably keeps you high much longer, some people say it can last an hour.

Back in the 80s NBA it was estimated like 50-70% of guys were using coke, plus I've heard of other boxers that fought coked up too.

You do realize half of his fights last less than 10-20 minutes right....Tyson admitted to performance enhancing drugs and people gave him a slap on the wrist........Crazy thing is off eye in the 90's its was clear Tyson was on other Peds with his antics in the ring, as well as his physique in some of those fights while boasting he didnt train in post fight comments....

I'm pretty sure professional boxers are the exception to the rule, dude.

[Htown-Finest]

I’m not biggest on recreational drugs usage fines etc.
different than performance enhance drugs

[Monzon99]

******* was proven to be a performance enhancing drug. It was used in tennis by some top players. Maybe it still is today too.
There is an old quote in boxing, "Everybody in boxing is ON SOMETHING."

[Southpawology]

wouldnt they piss hot for it post fight??

[Sweet Scions]

Not to get into a heated turkey day argument on Bolivian marching powder, but yeah what Doritos said. A high on the primo uncut stuff can last much longer than a few minutes at a time. Been there done that lost the postcard. However that is largely counterbalanced by the things Larry said, like the susceptibility to croaking under that type of physical strain and a noted decrease in actual endurance. From the outside looking in it's easy to see a few lines as basically snorting an invincibility power-up in Super Mario but the risks easily outweigh any benefits. It also inhibits the body's ability to regulate temperature, bad news for 12 hard rounds.
