Imagine just about anybody with the dedication of Hopkins. He was uncommon in his devotion to preparation and discipline. One of the few who...
Oh, if I had to pick I’d go with Tua (and hope the more aggressive version showed up). But AJ is a big guy and a fairly good cautious boxer with...
Carlos Palomino told the tale of how Roberto Duran got the prefight edge with him. Carlos had heard about Duran trying to intimidate opponents at...
Brazier seemed like a guy who was more interested in when he was fighting when he got the call than who he was fighting. He’d fight anyone and...

I don’t think we can assume that every boxer who came along after the invention/discovery of steroids used them, so it’s kind of a trick question....
It’s a logical fallacy: Post hoc ergo propter hoc = ‘after therefore because of.’ The answer is we don’t know what would have happened if we...
