    Would this even the playing field? Jack is allowed to take anything (including his favourite white powder assuming Maxine isn't lying)

    A prime Roidsey on a good test+hgh+epo combo would likely be able to turn his 4 round extreme blitzes into 8 rounds ones. I could see him blitzing Ali with the left hook over and over.

    Now imagine him on an Evan Fields stack :lol:

    It’s hard enough asking take 1942 Louis and 1962 Liston and who wins. Even that requires allowing for some poetic license but the PED thing is impossible to predict. What does he take? For how long? How do his workouts change? How do his trainers work with it? It sounds like a way to just project a favorite fighter into what ever you want to make him. Impossible to predict an outcome.

    Is he still allowed to use cocaine?

    He most likely did he had access to a doctor and was part of the first Olympics to have rampart PED use.

    No. Peds don't automatically make a champion. Hardly. Take a look around.. they're all on peds. Peds do not improve technique. He could beat Ali as he was (aggressive, power punching.. that technique) or not.

    See: Holyfield-Tyson when Tyson, the old billy goat himself, was gacked.

    some more recent heavies that had been caught taking Peds include Fury, Whyte, Ortiz , Miller an Povetkin. Aside from Fury you can’t say that the Peds made them that exceptional
