    find out how many athletes have had positive results for HGH use.
    look at the half life, peak, onset and duration of exogenous GH use and you'll see why it's almost impossible to catch if used smartly.

    243lb in his last fight. 6'6" tall. BMI = 28.1 according to some site I just found online.

    So yeah pretty big but a heavyweight boxer is going to be big. His BMI is probably less than a lot of heavyweight boxers but of course a lot of them are fatter than him.

    What exactly is? His legs, biceps? Abs? Deltoids? I don't see anything on AJ that looks un-achievable in natural bodybuilding terms.

    While I do suspect AJ is doping, for those who say it's impossible for a man of his size to get that big without steroids, can you explain Primo Carnera. He came before the discovery of anabolic steroids. Yet was 6'6" and between 250-284lbs, so was a bigger man than AJ.

    I wanted to bring that up but they will argue Carnera may have suffered from undiagnosed Acromegaly. We will never know but he's an interesting case.

    For the record, I would not at all be surprised if AJ (and many other boxers) abuse Epo and other stamina enhancing drugs. Most bodybuilding steroids are NOT stamina enhancing. They're reducing vo2max through the build-up of unnecessary, unnatural muscle mass.

    Just googled him, and to think how far nutrition and training techniques have come since then, if he were around today there would be tons of threads claiming hes on peds too.

    I've seen fighters on these forums get accused for less. I wouldn't doubt it, some pics look abnormal, but this is achievable without steroids.

    For the same reason we can't fly or breathe underwater. We're not built that way.

    Says human biology.
