    Most of them are on stuff but the two pictures have a big time difference it's nothing, his physique can easily be obtained without taking stuff though.

    Lol what about 2% extra... Wow!!!

    Firstly :I wasn't referring to the pics I was referring to figures usyk gave himself of weight he had gained in a 8 week period

    Secondly : I'd argue he is slightly leaner in the second photo with slightly more a definition showing but he is more tanned. So prob about the same levels. Is say both are about 12% bf

    Probably, but those photos don't prove much. Definitely attainable naturally.

    Over a prolonged period yea.. But to put on the mass as quickly as he did na... He would be abnormal if he didn't use them

    He didn't gain 10 kilos. There's something in boxing called weight cutting, where you dehydrate yourself for a couple of days in order to lose a huge amount of weight temporarily, then you drink water to regain the weight just before the fight. In reality he was probably always 215+

    We aren't doing this defense lawyer shyt. I think he's on something. Do I have his blood and **** tests? No.

    Did he spend his entire career being sort of pudgy? Yes.

    Did he gain 20lbs of muscle in less than a year? Yes.

    Was his body completely different for Joshua than it was for Witherspoon? Yes. It appears that he had trouble attaining the weight naturally, so found something to help him.

    Heavyweights don't cut weight. Wtf?!?

    People in denial and legitimately sounding like bozos in here. LOL

    You all remember how Fury looked around the nandrolone story? So either it really was a wild boar (which is proven to higher the levels of nandrolone), or it isn't necessary to look muscled and/or ripped when on PEDs, so this is valid for Usyk as well (who in any way used size advantage, which is the reason to keep it cruiser and trying to fight as little as possible as a heavy). But again - they all use banned substances. At least, it is not like how it was in UFC: have a doctor to prescribe you a TRT and there you go - legally on testosterone against someone who decided to have more dignity.

    Of course, but most elite athletes are, not alarming to me.

    Absolutely no evidence whatsoever yet you ramble on from your rat hole in NYC.

    I'd say that body is perfectly achievable over a decade

    LMAO!!! Wow! :facepalm::facepalm:

    That early pic is from a weigh in during his cruiser weight days and the recent one is most likely after a workout when his muscles are more ‘pumped’ :rolleyes:

    Until he actually fails a test like Toney, Canelo, Briggs, Jones or at least has shady shipments from a roid source like Holyfield did back in the day… the usual suspects can STFU.
