    Marquez no longer gets put on his ass by left hooks.

    Martinez isn't as prone to the flash knockdown anymore.

    Marquez did get put down by the LH vs Katsidis I believe.

    and a vicious left hook it was...I was scared as **** at how Juan fell after such a shot...Then i got even more scared when he got up like it was nothing and finished the round strong!

    Crazy recuperating abilitlies...

    Any decent LH always has, and always will put JMM down.

    He gets back up though.

    Think it would help if you could compare with a situation which is abit less isolated than Marquez getting knocked down by a left hook.

    Only Pacquiao has done that? Am I right? and how many Left handers with knockdown power has he faced recently.

    Yeah. WHen that shot landed I said oh no......he 's going to lose this fight like this?

    He basically had dominated before, and proceeded to dominate after. To me that fight was the beginning of the end for Katsidis.

    Boxing Insider: Now if you’re a fighter—let’s take this over to boxing for example—in your medical opinion, what specifically is taking testosterone going to help you do in the sport of boxing?

    Dr. Ronald Kamm: It makes you stronger. You have faster recovery from injury. In a fight, if you were hit you might recover faster than if you weren’t on steroids. I think Khan was surprised that Peterson had the recuperative powers he did in their first fight.

    Same with Juan Manuel Marquez? Could most top fighters be on some form of PED's?

    wladimir klitschko used to be a seek and destroy fighter during his early years, now hes just a jab-jab-right straight boxer for fear of his chin experiencing the same trauma similar to his KO loses.....

    Gatti was always a decent boxer he just loved to go to war. Watch his fight with Patterson he fought amazing.
