The role ******* played in boxer's careers? Fury, Calzaghe, Whitaker, Tyson?

[Citizen Koba]

Greats do *******?

Ha ha.. That a trick question, man?

I know about the 70s and 80s but Id have to assume it went way further back. Maybe you'd know more about that?

Anyone that's taken too much pre workout or caffeine pills knows caffeine can **** you up.

So he was an idiot on that occasion, right?

I don't know about his excuse. I do know too much caffeine makes your heart race and you feel sick.

Calzaghe's style had me wondering back in the day if the dude was on ******* during some of his fights, he later got caught on hidden camera buying ******* although I think that was after he'd retired. Possible he'd used it during his career too?

Mike Tyson revealed that he once fought high on coke. Drug testing loopholes? Tyson used a fake d!ck filled with urine to pass the test. In his autobiography he mentioned the Saversse fight where he was high on coke, linked below.

Fury, we know has a dark history with heavy ******* usage which I believe propelled his depression to near-suicidal levels. Unlikely he fights high on coke like Tyson, but not impossible?

What role do you think ******* played in boxer's careers, their style, their abilities, if any?

I’ve never used it but I’ve heard it can cause you to have boundless energy and not feel pain, but it really screws up your cardiovascular system, hence why many people have heart attacks while on the drug.

I would think the trade off wouldn’t be good, I don’t see it as necessarily giving an advantage in the ring. Although I suppose there could be some benefits in a fight in the short term, if the fight goes longer than a couple of rounds there would probably be more negatives for the fighter such as trouble catching breath and tachycardia symptoms. I don’t know and I’m not a doctor, just my personal view.

As a side note, didn’t Nigel Benn say he used ******* for a while? One of my all time favorite fighters and a great story of redemption as well.

Did wonders for Pryor towards the end of the first Arguello fight.

That! Pre Workout is great for the first half of the workout.

Unless it's got Beta-Alanine. I remember taking some of that years back and it didn't give me energy, it just made my pores hurt.

For half a round until they start having an anxiety attack during the come down?

Those were antihistamine pills crushed up in his water bottle.

Maybe not a physical benefit but could be a psychological benefit because of that confidence and euphoric coke effect..

But coke high dont last long...... That come down would have a bad effect on the fighter. Plus its not like they would be able to hit lines in the corner.

I think Meth or MDMA would have more of a benefit (if any) since they last long

I was just thinking that. He certainly got a second "wind" late in that fight.


Seems like coke is great if you wanna be a champ, !

[KillaMane26]

This like smoking crack b4 a fight..... Once it comes down the fighter likely to start acting like Oliver McCal lmao
