How would 21st century training, nutrition 'n PEDs improved ATGs?

I haven't watched it since that night, though I have no issue with anyone who does because it is a great fight. The avatar itself is a slight problem for me and I'd give almost anyone else the benefit of the doubt. I wouldn't assume that another poster with that avatar is trying to be provocative or low. Not so in this case.

 

I agree completly there McLellan should and will be remembered. I just think it is insensitive of Powerpuncher to be parading an avater sporting a picture of the fight in which McLellan got hurt.

 

Stonehands & GPater,

Fair enough. :good

I'm prepared to give Powerpuncher the benefit of the doubt about his motives though. :good

 

May he never disappoint you.

 

I think this thread has been officially hijacked...

 

Interesting, but I'm not sure that such things are worth it, and you touched on some reasons why. Shouldn't boxing be purely mano e mano with no easy advantages...?

 

Never meant to give the impression they are something I approve of. Quite the opposite. Just discussing the "what ifs" as stipulated by the thread starter.

 

Got it. I would however, be thrilled if PEDs and the like were banned indefinitely from this most dangerous sport, and the testing became actualized to ensure it.

I go to conventional weight-lifting gyms in the summer months. I see guys with giant arms parading around. I can't help but be unimpressed. It's easier these days and thus less worthy of respect.

 

Couldn't agree more on all counts!

 

Its 1 of my fave fights, Stonehands is using it as part of a personal vendetta because I keep owning him, Gpater is his personal dick rider, see SHs ******ed comment in the beggining of the thread as evidence of his lack of knowledge

 

The futher back you go, the more it could help. One thing to ponder though. The money in modern times can make fighters lose their passion.

 

:rofl:rofl

 

dickriding in full effect - according to SH character wins fights not skills or physical attibutes

 

Yeh thats right Barney Ross was super skilled, the speed of Howard Davis and the power of Edwin Rosario. But once you stood up to him, that was it.

 

That quote was from your bf in case you missed it :good
