    Many fighters, that's all they lack. They go in fighting scared. Like Young Eubank against Saunders. Imagine that same Eubank cooked out of his mind, balls to the wall aggressive. I'm not sure Saunders handles it.

    Thats all I'm saying. Certain fighters MIGHT benefit if confidence is all they lack but they have the tools otherwise.

    Besides, it can argued that Tyson was half the fighter when he was clean. How do you explain that if coke isn't beneficial?

      In a fight where you're knocking guys out inside of 5 minutes, as those guys often did, that high is long enough.
      coke wont help you in a fight.. yall saying it does, aint never done this type of drugs before... you wont be able to concentrate much, and all the lights, the crowd, noise, etc. would have probably tripped you out lol.

      yall think you can just smoke a drug like coke and then go out and fight against another professional fighter and will be able to knock him out? you's brazy my man. yall would be punching air, missing, etc. vision would probably be fvvked! hearing would be fvvked too!

        Drug testing was nowhere near what it is now. Many rec drugs weren't even checked for.

        OK, then once again, explain how Tyson performed perfectly fine against Savarese.

          Anybody watched, I believe it was Undisputed, where Tyson has a stage show set up by Spike Lee? He was talking bout him and Mitch Green fighting in the store. He said Mitch was on some powerful schitt that night...,reading this there reminded me of that moment.

            What ****ing advantage? You ever done coke?


            He'd crash by the end of the first round. Wouldn't help him at all.

              If you want to do some street **** before a fight, you take PCP. Everyone knows that.

                  It wakes you up and keeps you alert. If you do it later in a fight it gives you energy. Not to different than mid day coffee but stronger.

                    Coke doesn't make you fight better lol

                    Meth however.. is basically a steroid that elimnates pain.

                    Crystal meth is the only narcotic I know of that will help you in a fight.

                      It doesn't make you stronger, it ****s up your blood flow, it takes away your focus and mental sharpness.

                      You only think you're stronger, but you're not stronger at all, it's like fighting with rose colored glasses.

                      I've been in a fight on coke, it doesn't enhance your fighting ability in any way at all.

                      Adrenaline and your natural hormones in a fight give you more energy than being coked up lol
