    Is he like Marquez in 4th Pac fight - more muscular and powerful than ever (new type of super-effective PEDs) or he was just lazy and didn't prepare the right way 5 years ago?

    all these Russians (Kudrashov, Povetkin, Chakhiev, even Kovalev) are big punchers, is it genetic, or some post-Soviet, nuclear-waste tainted vitamins? :think

    I don't know, the people on the other friendly forum noted that :good

    I think every elite athlete is on PEDs by the way, but the effectiveness of PEDs can be different

    I always thought Sasha looked much better in 2007-2008 with Belov in his corner than with Atlas later. Teddy is so overrated

    just goes to show that EE fighters schooled by the old Soviet boxing school don't do well when trained by American trainers who try and change their style

    Wlad has a EE style: fights tall, a bit stiff, 1-2 jab, straight right hand, and a very good left hook

    he only learned how to protect his chin by clinching under Steward and how to pace himself better, pre-Steward Wlad was an EE knockout machine

    Just because someone has increased their power and/or bulked up, it does not mean they're on PEDs.

    Disagree completely. Why is that never the excuse of a convicted PED cheat if that's the case?

    And there are certain guys you can tell when they are lying- Carl Froch is a good example- but when he talks about PED cheats you can tell they are appalled by them.
