    Steroids do not affect bones they affect muscle....you are thinking of HGH ....muscles do nothing for power if that was the case Pepino Cuevas and JCC would have hit like girls.....muscles don't make power this is basic boxing 101....the most powerful fighters were not muscle men even young Foreman was trim and Frazier had no muscles.....

    Strength comes from tendons not muscles....the strongest men in the world have big joints meaning big thick tendons bodybuilders are not strongmen...steroids do not affect tendons.....tendon strength can increase but it is tendon strength that gives, power and endurance....look at all the bodybuilders who used far more steroids than any boxer after they retired they look like average people.

    Again the samething... You are wrong.. The testosterone affect to your bones too increasing the density. And Hgh IS A STEROID.
    The strength and the hitting power comes from different ways,it is not 1+1 diferent factors intervene here.
    Foreman did not have speed but he had heavy arms,thomas hearns was weak he had fragile frame and was skinny but still he had speed and was Explosive,he translated it in power. Tyson never was specially strong but he was fast and he had a big mass of muscles. And i am not talking about strength, i am talking about hitting power.. don't change the topic. If you test the power of a guy before and after he increase his musculature he will be able to hit harder having a bigger mass of muscle because this will increment the weight of his arm... It is a fact

    HGH is a form of Steroid what most athletes take are anabolic...I am well aware of such things as androgen blockers also called androgenics.....If you believe what you just wrote then you have answered something much more educated and experienced men cannot...
    However power is power in boxing either you have the strength to deliver it or you don't lots of "muscular" well trained fighters have no power and not real strong.....Thomas Hearns weak what the hell are you smoking he was very strong.....go away and come back when you learn boxing. Power is strength applied.....your argument is sounding like a teenage kid impressed with muscles

    I think he did all he could. Like someone else said, maybe a Tyson fight but that is about it. Tyson vs. Morrison would have been interesting but I think Mike's power was too much for Tommy's chin.

    Ridiculous answer... But it was predictable, you was changing the topic since the last post when you realised that you could not deny certain things i said .
    1.testosterone and hgh are steroids and it affect to the bones,not only to the muscles like you said. You wrong and i am right.
    2. If a guy increment his musculature will increment his hitting power and it is a fact, you said that the muscles have nothing to do with hitting power,only tendons strength .again you wrong and i am right

    I meant that the type of frame of hearns was weak.. He was a skinny guy with slim bones .i mentioned him at example. I told you that the hitting power comes from different ways. Great Speed.. Heavy hands.... Big mass+speed etc. Hearns had great hitting power but i doubt he could handle a lot of weight because his skinny frame.. It was i meant when i said "weak".
    I will not spend my time with you. You never ever will admit when you are wrong

    Shut up idiot....I have read idiocy before like yours....I doubt you have the intelli

    Dimwit muscles do not make you punch harder......steroids have different purposes and do different things than HGH.....no fighter is going to take HGH to punch harder and if they overdo it they can cause growth plates to overgrow like Barry Bonds head did not all the bones thicken just certain ones. Damn you need an education not sure if you can handle these boards
