    After all the drama with Larry, Berto and Peterson, I have been thinking about PEDs and how widely they are used in boxing. Only problem is, I know **** all about the topic. So what physically do you normally see in a juiced up boxer, if anything?

    David Price strikes me as a possible user, dunno why

    Traps are usually big in people who use roids.

    Huge increase in size over a small period of time could be a sign too (Manny).

    Don't think Pricey is on PEDs, he has looked pretty similar so far for his whole career.

    Duracell type endurance. (not fading in the later rounds)

    could be a stupid question, but are veins pushing out from a boxers muscle a sign?

    Chisora in his recent fights? He couldn't do that at all against Fury. He better not cheat Haye out of his comeback.

    Ricky Burns is 95% PED, i now believe due to the fact he moved up a weight division and has decent stamina.

    The stamina is from running around JJB getting size 6 trainers for different customers, clean.

    chisora, apart from presumably number 2(no homo), fits the bill especially with his recently imrpvoed stamina :think

    The guy i've worked for who's worked in boxing and still does said Price was a skinny fella until recently now he's really bulked up. Make of that what you will..

    I think some well known fighters from wildcard are no strangers to PED's. Those shakes aye..

    :patsch

    Since he fought JMM back down at super feather weight -- where he was 145 on fight night -- the highest Pacquiao has been is 150. That's 5 pounds in 4 years. Yeah, a huge increase in size over a small time, right?

    To answer the question, significant differences (like, big time) in the following would alarm me:

    - Body build (ripped)
    - Stamina
    - Punch resistence
    - Workrate
    - Strength/power

    I agree if its a noticeable difference in a short space of time, but we have to remember that a well trained boxer with good nutrition / lifestyle will also have these attributes and they should improve as they progress.
    Carl Froch is a good example and has all of the above, im sure he didnt have it all from the start.
