    I doubt nobody thinks Cus would do that-many are unreasonable about Tyson-in both directions.
    A good # suspect & even insist he used PEDs, with no logic behind it.
    I can go through the argument in a few paragraphs, but basically he is well within what some looked like naturally even before PEDs were invented, & was bulky/strong as a kid who did not even weight train, let alone had money or reason to use PEDs.

    I have read Holyfield would come into camp looking like a Cruiser and leave a HW, this might've been based on a lack of knowledge when it came to steroids, maybe he just hopped off the juice entirely when he was out camp.

    Its not up to discussion if he was on PEDs, the fact that he wasnt accused or pressured about it back in the 90s as opposed to now also says alot about his opposition. If the rest of the division was clean, everyone else would have raised a huge stink about it.

    The more shocking part to me is how baldy he abused them, to the point where the negative side effects actually also showed up in the ring. And the fact that he still shrunk down to cruiserweight between his fights even after fighting at heavyweight for 5+ years.
    You would think that at that point he would keep the size and settle at the higher weight. I dont believe the kther top heavies were clean but i also havent seen any of them shrivel up like that between fights
