    Maybe people are suspicious because of Porter's nutritionist.

    Was it Malinaggi who made Porter look like the second coming of Sam Langford(minus the 74 inch reach) or is Porters sudden improvement sus.....who knows ?, seems a bit sus but we will be able to conclude more after the Brook fight.

    Lets be honest here the brits are a step behind....i'd be shocked if any of the names in america aren't juicing or british fighters for that matter it's just that the americans have better gear. Thats why you've got brian rose going out there who by all acounts is one of the hardest trainer in the sport getting took apart by andrade without breaking a sweat even hatton getting obliretated against pac-man.

    Theirs no way people like bradley a vegan are built how they are without a helping hand....even without power. Its time clean fighters stood up and told the world their clean and are ready for any neccesary testing available to rid the world of the cheats. lets get a life time ban introduced for a start for any drug cheats!

    Bradley's vegan diet gives him a huge advantage. It isn't hard to be built like that with a proper diet and the right strength and conditioning. Most fighters are either blessed with power or not, Bradley obviously isn't.

    Thats true. A few have tried to walk through Malinaggi,and with a few exceptions,failed. But nobody did it like Porter. This could be just down to the fact that Paulie was a bit past it,not quite as fast and the punch resistance had gone slightly.
    In some ways,Paulie reminds me of the old time fighter Willie Pastrano. Quick on his feet,skill full,not a great hitter but a terrific chin. Fought heavyweights,moved down to light heavy,won a title. Cant remember him being down. Then he lost his title to Jose Torres. Good puncher but a former middleweight. That was the last straw.

    Punch power has little to do with muscle mass.

    It is all down to timing.

    When someone says a fighter has been blessed with great powere, in reality they have been blessed with great timing.

    Guys like Foreman & Cuevas didn't have great timing but are among the hardest punchers of all time.

    If you're working with Conte then you're going to put yourself right in the spotlight for suspicion.

    Porter employs Conte a couple of fights back and suddenly he looks a beast of a puncher.

    Remember what Conte said when Marquez KO'd Pacquiao. He called Marquez a cheat and said he was doped up as he had never shown that kind of power before. Conte is a hypocrit and a sleazeball. Porter is juiced up.

    Just as an example, watch Foreman vs Moorer KO.

    You tell me there isn't great timing there.

    Just because Foremans movement was cumbersum does not mean he didnt have great timing.
