    So Tyson being on coke for every fight, or so he says, gave him an edge in aggression and speed? And we know Louis was a coke fiend. Might explain some of his dominance.

    I have to agree with this. Povetkin for all his shortcomings has two things that can't be denied.. A solid chin and a big punch. And while Dokes could box pretty well in his prime, he wasn't that type of fighter anymore by 1989. He had transformed into more of a bomber which made for an entertaining slugfest against a newly made heavyweight in Holyfield, but wouldn't pan out well for him against the hard hitting Povetkin who could also take his punch. The 1982 rendition of Dokes actually has a better chance here.

    You need a drink with coke otherwise it turns you into a *****

    Maybe some coke with alcohol mixed with an energy drink would give you an edge but your literally risking your life doing that
