    You forgot - Try to fob off all recent history big heavyweights by completely believing and projecting they were all on steroids.

    Ha very true. He tries to make ridiculous comments like "the cruiserweight division today is really the heavyweight division" because all the super heavyweights today are on steroids and should have their own division lol

    Everyone is juicing. Look at Alvarez and the “Mexican meat” story for context. Everyone believes the face of boxing has changed since the 24 hour weigh ins and advances in training and diet.

    Most fighters are in the wrong division now because of it. For example Where are all the 5’7” middleweights? Answer= super welterweight division.

    The new thing that has came from it all is how more gigantic a boxer can be today. No coincidence is it?

    But you guys don’t want to hear that do you?

    What a genuinely awful thing to say.

    I suppose you can care so little for modern fighters that totally dismissing out of hand any chance that any man not at this time found guilty of taking drugs might not be cheating, but it's not nice to look at.

    I care a lot about modern fighters. I think it’s a great pity they missed out on the way things used to be. Of course they could fight as often if they could. And it’s not their fault.

    It is possible some are not cheating in some form or another but how likely is it that most are not?

    So you don't think "everyone's juicing"?

    Do I think everyone is juicing? I don’t think the case is that nobody is juicing. What do you think? Yes most of the top fighters absolutely have done at some stage or other. It’s the plague of modern sport isn’t it? And course fighters from all other eras would be juicing too if it was as a available when they fought.

    It’s been proven a lot of the top heavyweights were caught hasn’t it?

    Poor David Price fought Thompson and That other bloke who both failed tests.

    Then there’s all the others you know full well about like Fury, Povetkin and Ortiz. There’s others too and many more who pass tests because they were tested after they cycled it out.

    What fighters would you like to put forth as having "cycled it out" and passed tests?
