    They’re definitely bigger now than in the late 80s, which is due to USSR collapse and other factors more than PEDs.

    90s. Not even close. Back then you could take one 76mg parabolan a week and barely stop sweating ever. One organon sust amp a week and not keep your **** down. Today it’s UGL garbage by comparison

    Maybe getting rid of 15 rounders took a few years for men to adjust. Able to get bigger without worrying about stamina

    Not enough evidence that they ever were gassing out. Foreman had better stamina as a fat guy

    The record is held by Kownacki and Arreola, even better.

    @Gazelle Punch's theory is not backed by significant evidence that I'm aware of.

    I would wager on average stamina is down. I can look at some punch stats of some prominent fighters before the steroid and after. I don’t think one or two fights paints the whole picture.
