A minor argument against heavyweight modernism

Genetics and mentality

A prime example of the combination of genetics and mentality being independent of steroid use is Holyfield compared to Morrison

And really, Foreman probably would have destroyed Holyfield in an arm wrestling match, so ultimately genetics are likely the most significant variable

Some people don't even have the genetic ability to end up looking like Evan Fields, and many that do but don't have the right stuff between their ears to put in that level of work, and of the ones that have both they still couldn't replicate what he did in the ring even if they trained exactly like him

It happens all the time in science, a study that shows significant results does not produce the same significant results when an exact replication is attempted

 

Absolutely.
Look at Joe Bugner going 15 With Ali or 12 with Frazier.
AJ would be gassed like hell by the 8 th round.

 

Duran was known to do steroids? I didn't know that.

 

"They gave me this injection to get stronger and faster....an injection that they give to horses...."

That's what he said.

 

It's all very vague. In his book there was one line about an injection before one fight.......we are talking 1977.

Was it a steroid? Probably? Maybe? Was it just one injection? Was it illegal?
