    Ken Norton, Mike Weaver, were not on steroids. Some guys just have the body.

    I think these PED accusations have gotten out of control on here.

    Exactly, if you don't ped good chance you ain't competitive in any sport where muscle power is a key ingredient and when you factor the money to be made, several million a fight with Johsua, it just makes it highly unlikely.

    Joshua in the Olympics in 2012 wasn't that good, very clearly lost to Erislandy Savon in the first round, and now he's 25lb of lean muscle heavier and knocking out people like Martin in one round. nah.

    And how do you know they weren't on PEDs?

    Joshua has a egg chin like Wlad. But Joshua's skin does not cut as easy as Wlad's lunch meat skin.

    Many boxing fans are in denial that PED's were a factor until the 1990's.

    I often wonder if the fighters talk about it with each other or play the game and pretend they're natural,that Froch and AJ pic,I'd of loved to have heard that conversation between those two?

    I'm amazed by how many people who are blown away by Joshua's size. I've seen far more amazing bodies by people who didn't have access to the best trainers in the world.
    When I was in high school there was a student at our rival school who was 16 years old and had a similar body to Brock Lesnar he was the biggest person that I'd seen in my life up to that point. No lie he was 16 years old 6"2" and 250lbs of muscle. I know that a lot of people on this forum will be quick to call me a liar or whatever like they've already done when I mentioned a friend of mine, however, the best part about it is there are pics of him just Google him. His name is Brodrick Bunkly and he went on to play in the nfl. There's actually a pic of him from the combine when he was 21 over 50 lbs later, so how is this possible or was he roiding ever since he was 12?
    And while we are at it how was a 17 year old LeBron James the size of Deontay Wilder while in high school? Must have been roids.
    And didn't Teddy Atlas say he began training Mike Tyson when he was 12 and that he was 190 lbs of muscle? That 12 year was roided to the gills no doubt about it.

    Being an ex-Hollywood personal trainer, I do believe Joshua is on steroids, but It's not totally within the realm of possibility that he is natural. Two reasons:

    His face looks normal.

    He looks "consistent" meaning his body looks about the same at all times. Roiders cycle on and off because taking steroids 365 days a year destroys your organs quickly; hence all of those late 30's wrestlers dying of "heart disease" and stuff.

    It's not really about size. Lomachenko, For instance is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT on steroids, looking at his face for 4 seconds, and he is 130lbs.

    I think Joshua is a naturally gifted guy who takes growth hormones, maybe he roids (it's different) maybe not, but he's not Shannon Briggs. Briggs has a head like an muppet villan.

    This is what I've been saying all along. If AJ walked into your average juicers bodybuilding garage gym, the resident meatheads would chuckle and make jokes about that "skinny tall guy". AJ is NOT big by steroid standards at all. Not even close.

    I too can look somebody dead in the eyes and tell if they're on steroids. I can also tell you what they ate 4 days ago for breakfast.

    Think people are also forgeting what 6ft6 looks like in the flesh. Stood next to the rock he dwarfed him.

    I think be might be on his PCT at the moment he does look more natural and less like a pumped up roider.

    I was watching some **** bodybuilders yesterday prancing about the gym doing their posing routine.. One was about 6ft 3 about 15 stone and 5% bf. He didn't have Joshua's dimensions at all. And he competes at an okay level. Covered in bacne.

    Joshua's natural shape was in the Olympics. Tall , lean and rangey. Now he's juiced , end of
