    The common refrain nowadays in boxing(not entirely wrongly) in regards to peds is to say everyone is on them. But some guys take it to the 5 gear. Povetkin is probably the biggest example of the modern era. That dude was juiced to the ****ing gills. He was on the heavy duty good Russian ****.

    Holyfield was bad. See his physique vs Tyson.

    Unfortunately, I think boxing is or was at one point like cycling during the 90's/00's. Probably worse. 70%+ on it

    I agree. I've seen a few that I won't name that look to be on it. Their mentality is if others are on it to get that edge so will I.

    Why is povetkin worse than others?

    With jarell miller it seems more obvious in hindsight. Same with the guy who power punched galal yafai for 12 rounds

    Sonny Boy Jaro against Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, this Filipino couldn't feel the punch anymore, it's obvious he was doped with PEDs. The guy was a journeyman and knocked out the greatest flyweight of the period and one of the best Thai P4P boxers of history. And after that impressive performance Sonny Boy Jaro become a journeyman again...


    The most strange upset of the decade 2012-2022 by far.

    Holyfield being the obvious, Nigel Benn skipping out after fights not to get tested, Fury blaming wild boar, Canelo, Conor Benn coming back without a hint of the old power... They should have a special league for enhanced fighter like the special olympics...

    Big Baby Miller. Didn’t he tests positive for like 8 different PEDs in his system once? :lol:

    And it’s only going to get worse, there’s been a lot of guys caught over over the last 4/5 years but zero notable bans or punishments given out, I think one that comes to mind is Liam Cameron’s fairly lengthy ban but that was recreational not even peds

    Failed drug tests have done more for Conor benns career than anything he’s done in the ring

    Big pharma miller was slagged left right and centre by people like Eddie Hearn- he was a cheat/scumbag/disgrace to the sport etc etc but he still got fights, some of them for big loot on Saudi cards and now in a crazy turn of events Eddie has signed him up, so someone tell me where is the deterrent?

    Anyone suspect AJ? Just saying. To be able to be that lean at 245+ in your late 30s is… unlikely. Even given his excellent genetics.

    you’d expect him to be able to keep his size and strength because he’s a gym rat with dietary dedication, but not the single digit body fat.
