    What about Marquez? He hulked up and didn't lose any speed or movement.

    No Tyson was unique 1 in a billion genetics. He weighed 150lbs when he was 5 years old and benched 185lbs.

    Well, at his weight it’s pretty safe to say he took a low dose. My reference was more to the fact that heavy weights can not (should not) take those extreme doses you have to take to gain an excessive amount of muscles. They are not doing any bodybuilding doses when they cycle steroids.

    What I find interesting, couple years ago Big Baby Miller gets popped for PEDs before the Joshua fight. Now one of his long time training partners whose performance went through the floor after this was Kownacki. I always wondered if Millers drug test failure spooked Kownacki and he got off whatever he and Miller were taking. Just speculation.

    Some PEDs are legal and some are illegal
