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

[Clegg]

Not shocking if Tyson used coke the day of a fight, especially in his late career run where he either got an early KO or did something crazy.

Sweet Pea and Pryor seemed clean during fights based on their performances. They did use outside the ring and it did shorten their primes, but during their actual fights they showed top level physical and mental conditioning. A guy who is desperate for another line can't fight a high concentration fight for 12-15 rounds.

Tony Galento apparently fought drunk several times, so fighting intoxicated is possible. But Galento had a mindset similar to past-prime Tyson, vicious and powerful but also fouling when things weren't going his way. He didn't have 15 round stamina and he wasn't elite level.

Having said all that, we've seen some mismatches in recent years where the winner probably could've been on drugs and still won. How many lines would Fury have to do in order to lose to Chisora? He could take LSD and still win.

******* will not help you in a damn 12 round fight, you would most likely have a heart attack

[Larry the boss]

Have you ever taken *******?

There is no benefit.

exactly, it would damn near kill you in a boxing match

[Ganondorf]

I would much rather fight on meth or adderall.

Those were antihistamine pills crushed up in his water bottle.

Asthma medication to open up breathing IIRC. Similar to Clenbuterol.

Yup. Wouldn’t be able to stfu, get KO’d chewing on the mouth guard

Think I read somewhere that the Inca chewed the Coca leaves to give them energy while working in the fields.

That’s more like sipping coffee throughout the day where as a line of coke is like slamming 3 Red Bulls. Oh and the coca leaves are pure unlike the sacks I use to slang cut with aspirin and NoDoz.

I think that boxers today are doing even more drugs.

[Leebrond]

If you look at Ryan Garcia then they do more drugs for sure. Drugs aren't always a bad thing. I use 2MMC from time to time because it makes me feel really good and you can buy 2MMC online easily now.
