    Doesn't mean that they were all juicing. And probably more importantly (given your main argument), it most certainly doesn't mean that any of them needed drugs in order to get big.

    Interesting point. Unforgiven, since you’re kind of neutral with your opinion, I’d like to hear what your response to this would be?

    Your a sick ####. Your everything that's wrong with society.
    Your nothing but a sick coward.
    How dare you even think anything like that let alone put it in writing. I hope everyone on here turns there back on you or better yet I hope your banned for life.
    You just disrespected every law enforcement officer in the country with your asinine racist sick remarks.
    #### you you filthy rotten coward.
    This sick ####### actually wants to see a police officer get shot over a damn boxing opinion!!!!!! He needs mental help!!!!!.
    Where would society be without our Police Officers Soldiers Marines ect. Wow I'm livid over this clown. BAN HIM 4EVER!

    The PED makes Fighters more effective. It will allow an athlete to realise maximum potential beyond what’s Is considered legal. Does anyone dispute this?

    Years ago a heavy guy, a guy too heavy for his own size could gass out much quicker. Carrying excess weight effects stamina. A fighter can not perform as well when he is fatigued. His technique goes out of the window. Can anyone dispute this?

    My theory is this. In the sport of boxing there were largely physical limitations to what could be achieved with the biggest of men. Of course there are exceptions. In recent generations we see more exceptions among the biggest men.

    Is it a coincidence these former limitations have been overcome around the time PEDs entered all sports? What are the odds?

    Is getting methodically beaten down and KO'd doing quite well (Johnson, Peralta Qawi)? And are we talking 73 Foreman or 91 Foreman (Holyfield)?

    Just want to make sure I understand you--you're saying that today's big men have significantly better stamina than the comparably sized big men of the past, right? If so, who are you comparing to whom, exactly?

    Let’s not get too carried away here. Dago was rational for quite some time before he lost his temper. We must try not to take things so literal.

    Some folks just want to trip people up when a line of debate isn’t going their way.

    Really choke? You think telling a police officer to eat a bullet when he has a family to come home to is “losing your temper”?

    I saved you the trouble and reported him myself Suzie.
    He is a last word idiot and the forum is better off without him.

    I don't put law enforcement (or any other occupation) on a special pedestal but this is in incredibly poor taste. Just demeans the forum and yourself. You've got issues.

    Whoa, that was something. Clearly over the line.

    Much respect the SuzieQ. I have my issues with police but respect them and don't envy your responsibilities.
