    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.

    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.
