    No not at all. Tommy Morrison was a huge ROIDer and he still had the glassiest of chins. Andre Berto's chin was still the same too.

    Steroids dont do anything for punch resistance except maybe make you psychologically believe you're a stronger person.

    All the best have used PEDs in last 40 years. There hasnt even been real testing until quite recently and it is still very easy to use and pass those tests. You get so much benefit of roiding that it would be almost stupid not to do it. Like this or not but unfortunately this is a fact.

    Im sure Toney, Wach, the british guy with the Nigerian name, and a good few others would disagree.

    The amount of top level athletes we've seen being caught in recent years,shows that the authorities seem to be making strides on the cheats

    I agree with these points but I believe I would work my neck out if going against a bigger guy than I'm used to. And no it doesn't automatically mean he has better resistance, or is a magic formula, but I believe between the added neck and shoulder muscles, as well as the mental edge, that it would increase his punch resistance and help to counteract the late round KO percentage of the Klits.

    Serious PEDs didn't become prevalent until the 80s and 90s

    Testing is getting better but still one step behind ... you'd have to be a complete ****** to get caught these days ...

    Ok lets say it is not VERY EASY but it is not so difficult either. Much easier in professional boxing than track and field or some other sports anyway.

    They increase strength? Briggs right arm tore in half in round 2. Steroids dont do **** for you except break you down. They certainly dont help your chin.
    Andre Berto and Tommy Morrison both were full of Steroids and Morrison was KO'd 3 times,Berto was dropped in consecutive fights.

    Cause thats what I said, totally. You are using logical fallacies to argue and it is just making you look less intelligent. Keep fighting the good fight, loser.

    Steroids increase protein synthesis, which aids muscular recovery after training. You train, your muscle breaks down, you eat and rest, it repairs itself and becomes stronger and bigger (if training for hypertrophy and eating enough cals). Steroids enhance and accelerate the process just mentioned. They definitely aid in strength increases you coud never have naturally. The "breaking down" you mention is from the fact that most anabolics decrease collagen synthesis, which mostly has an effect on tendons. Strong muscles combined with weaker tendons equals a greater chance of injury. This only generally happens when someone has used long term, or has drastically increased their strength levels in a short time frame. Of course, there are ways to avoid that while using PEDs, through hormones which negate or reduce that effect, or by not using PEDs, or by training appropriately (sport specific). Roids, as you mentioned, do NOT help your chin in the slightest. They will give a physchological advantage and boost confidence, but glass is glass, and low punch resistance can only be refined to a degree.

    we also made Wach change gloves to the second pair... the first pair was missing padding. The BDB has the gloves and will deal with it

    now positive for roids..... Cheaters all the way around
