    Roid rage is common in steroid users.

    Ever suspect Golota and Tyson's problems inside and outside the ring were due to juicing?

    Juicin? Have anybody ever found any evidence that these 2 are juicing? Or this is just another bull**** talk?

    Yes because it isn't likely that reasons other than roids can lead to angry and/or baffling behaviour.

    Cut the horse****.

    They're both just nuts, end of story.

    It wouldn't surprise me if they were on roids - it wouldn't surprise me if any heavyweight got done for roids to be honest - but they are genuinely crazy people.

    I tend to agree with the general concensus that both these guys were in fact, lunatics




    However, steroid use is a possibility. I remember watching golota fight a few times and noted that he had quite bad acne on his back. Whilst this is certainly not exclusively limited to steroid users, its certainly quite common






    Just an observation

    Well, don´t comment on Golota but wanted to say that I think Tyson was on roids during his second career. Look at him during his first career he had a boxer´s body, during his second one it just looked pumped up. Don´t know if his mental issues are due to roids but they surely didn´t help.

    I wonder why we don't see any steroid accusations thrown at 70's and early 80's fighters considering they've been used in sports since the 60's when they were first introduced...that said, it's possible either or both guys mentioned here were on something.

    Well Holyfield seems certain Tyson was...

    But no, mental issues are mental issues and I don't think any (unproven) supposed steroids would be the reason for them. Tyson had a ****ed-up childhood, and Golota is just a 'wild and crazy guy!'

    no, its due to both being borderline Sociopaths who if not for boxing probably would be in some jail or mental institution.
