    What you were thinking is that you can equate boxing , with track events and baseball.
    I assume a man is innocent until he is proven guilty. And you missed the word PRIME out of the title of the thread,its a common fault with those who cannot admit that their heroes might lose so, as they cant bear to match them as they really existed they create a hypothetical version.

    Did you not just say "Steroids don't make you more explosive or more aggressive"???

    You basically just killed your whole argument with that sentence. Why do you think they are banned there brainiac?? If they don't enhance fighters... why are they banned?

    Steroids enable you to train,longer and recover quicker.
    The thread which I made is about the Marciano that actually existed versus the Joshua that actually exists.

    I've zero interest in discussing a match up of Joshua against some cartoon version of Marciano.,maybe others will have ,hopefully on a different thread!
    I don't believe I've ever debated with you before and I'm pretty sure from your tone that I don't want to now so:wave:.

    And I would have no interest in sticking 185lb Marciano in with a 250lb odd looking guy who has a VERY suspicious supplemental regimen.

    LoooL!! 185lb Marciano against super HW's weighing 250. :facepalm: Those are the weigh differences between the two fighters that ACTUALLY EXISTED.

    How about we do a thread on Floyd Mayweather v.s Tommy Morrison?! Size difference is about the same!

    If the underlined is the case ,why are you posting here?

    You will see Marciano fan boys arguing exactly the opposite.

    Nobody here sees skin colour when debating fights thankfully. I'll have Morrison by KO to answer your question.

    The weight difference between Haye and Valuev is the same difference between Jimmy Wilde and complete nothingness.

    Yes, and we're talking about the Joshua of that fight.

    This is based on all the Shkor fights you have seen?

    This content is protected

    How many fights of Joshua's opponents have you actually seen?

    Lol!! Good to hear! Nice call.

    And how nice of you to go down to the minor leagues (Cute little comment you made to Loudon about me earlier dip**** ;)) to answer my question that I was obviously being sarcastic about!

    And nobody even mentioned any "colour" of any kind in this thread. Only you ;)

    So a 70lb weight difference would be "Complete nothingness"?? Marciano would have been a small cruiser weight today. Lol

    When I first registered here I ventured into the lounge, I won't make that mistake again. You are a genuinely funny guy, so is your pal Willis but some of the stuff you guys posted there was repulsive.

    Wouldn't that just make him an even better LHW sized fighter?

    I go with Joshua.

    Sports evolve. I judge athletes by how they did in their own time, but if you try matching across time, the old-timers just can't stack up.
