    Interesting question PEDs can help with strength, stamina and speed and have a direct link to how prepared a fighter is simply because it allows him to train more often for longer as it can greatly helps with recovery. Taking this into account I think Charles can have similar success to Holyfield.

    He likely gets stopped twice by Lennox and not sure if he beats Tyson even at that stage of his career, Evander was certainly more durable. However he'd have a much easier time with an old Holmes and even past his best I still see him beating Ruiz he was a better in fighter than Holyfield. He also likely beats Byrd and Moorer first time although Evander had heart issues which were a direct result of the steroids he'd taken.
