    Not undoubtedly. There's definitely some doubt there.

    Two Words.

    Angel Heredia.

    That's no more conclusive than the fact that Bolt has never failed any drug tests that I'm aware of.

    What is conclusive is that Angel Heredia testified under oath that he could make PEDs that could beat Olympic tests.

    Still, guys like Gay and Powell are failing tests while Bolt is not and is still winning. Also it would be pretty dumb for Bolt to risk it at this point because he has so much to lose. He may or may not be, but it's not definite and imo all things being equal Bolt would be the fastest man anyway.

    fair play but I was replying to people slating primo carnera as a bum.

    Carnera was not a bum since he held THE HW title.

    why are some people continuing to draw parallels between tacitical boxing matches and sprinting in a straight line for 10 seconds?

    Bigger is not always better. Thats what these Wlad fans seem to forget. Louis beat men bigger than Wlad ( Canera...buddy bear...abe simon). Also two ton galeto was as strong as you can get. He put all them on their backs for the 10 count. Hell Byrd...Chambers.. Brewster...Sanders...Touch of Sleep ad Haye either beat Wlad...went past ten rounds with him or knock him down. All were similar to size/ weight as Louis. Louis is 3x the fighters they were.

    Vlad is bigger than Carnera was, plus his skill level is totally superior to anything Carnera could do. Vlad is quick, well conditioned, gold medalist, etc., Marciano knocked Louis out and he was only 5' 10" tall and around 185 lbs.......

    Wlad vs Louis in numbers:

    6'6" 245lb vs 6'2" 200lb
    This content is protected


    combined record (amateur + pro): 195-9 vs 116-7

    boxing years: 1990-present (23 years +) vs 1932-1951 (19 years)

    It is obvious that Wlad is stronger, more skilled and experienced fighter.

    Joe Louis at 23 was the youngest Hw champ when he won the title. He is the fourth yougest ever still. He beat 3 former champs before winning the title in his third yr as pro. Lets see could you imagine Wlad beating Tyson...Holyfield and Lewis in 1999 in his pro year. Them champs would have ended his career!

    What does Rocky knocking out an ancient Louis have to do with anything?
