    Look at Fury. Physically, to look at looks like **** but yet still proven to be on the gear.

    Good point. Travellers do have awful genetics for muscle though. Retain fat and struggle to add muscle.

    Fury and his cousin is a good way to tell exactly when they both went on the gear. It wasn’t that long ago Fury had a full head of hair and was making hard work of getting past domestic level opposition. Then out of nowhere he’s completely bald (cousin bleeding more from his back acne than from punches taken too) but overnight looking like a serious prospect. The difference in Fury in the first and second Chisora fight we’re night and day. There was serious improvement between those fights.

    Not too mention his new found power. Tiresome needed to fly thousands of miles to find it by someone who hung off his uncles name. Very sketchy stuff.

    I just don't think the likes of Eubank and Calzaghe, especially in their eras, weight classes and how they were, would have resorted to that. I think Nigel Benn did because there's something not quite right about that man but Joe and Chris were just supremely talented and hard.

    It’s a good job he never boxed you eh BB, otherwise he probably would have been 46-1 (rolling eyes emoji).

    It amazes me how some posters on here will happily tear down a boxer and their achievements because of their own personal opinion.

    He's huge though, you can't look like Thor after a few Nandralone cycles

    hahahaah if only I knew. I'd have probably won and then had a baby #superman

    EDIT - I would not have won. The person who won tried really hard and was loads stronger than me....

    Fury also lost what 10 stone after abusing his body 2 years and went straight into the Wilder fight after 2 warm ups?
