Originally posted by El-blanco View PostHe's on steroids, not that I care, but his shoulders and traps are a clear indicator. There are a lot of androgen receptors in that area and it's the first place steroid users blow up. that stuff will keep him young for the next four years and give him the time he needs to make a great career.
Here you have other picture of someone on steroids

Think there were similar rumors with Samuel Peter back in the day. And I think fake ages were a common thing in baseball in certain regions at one point & maybe still are idk. I think there was some Olympic girl from Japan who got busted for the same thing not long ago. So there's gotta be some boxers with a fake age out there.

Youth is a major advantage when negotiating contracts. It can mean tens of millions. What benefit do boxers derive from lying about their age?
And fwiw its not like I know something here, I'm just throwing out some things I've seen & heard about in other sports that I don't think is that far fetched in boxing. I am definitely of the opinion Ortiz looks older than 36, but **** some people just look older. I just wouldn't be surprised if he did turn out to be older.

he's old as hell
he looks 40+ if he's a day to me, and in future any opponents will demand proper testing
as soon as he cycles of the test, roids and hgh he will look like a 40 year old man and start getting knocked out

Originally posted by Eff Pandas View PostI'd say for similar reasons as you are suggesting + we just live a fairly ageist society. Youth is worshiped. I think HBO, a promoter, manager or even potential sponsors or advertisers would be more interested in a 26yr old boxer vs a 34yr old boxer all else being equal.
