Slightly disturbed..Roberto Duran and Steroids

I doubt the old school guys that Duran largely worked with were up-to-date with steroid use. Duran's weight gain is easily explained by measuring the width of his gut. It wasn't muscle he put on.

 

He's not the absolute worst to associate with steroids but he must be up there. Dude spent his career having to come down in weight. Anyone ever get the impression Duran put on some extra muscle because he had the weight to spare?

 

Your prediction was ten years early, but prescient.

 

Gold. How did I miss this back then?

 

C’mon man: PEDberto Duroid.

And let’s talk about the Leonard-Hagler scoring and get this thread rolling right.

 

Glad I could start this thread on the road to redemption.

So much promise cut off early through poor management, like a young Jersey Joe Walcott.

 

Tyson ducking Foreman deserves a mention...

By the way, whatever happened to Flea Man?

 

He got a bit precious and decided we were beneath him.

 

It is only a lot of weight if it is mostly muscle. Someone already strong & not underweight, let alone of his frame, could not gain that much muscle in a short time.
BUT he worked hard to be lean-& maybe dehydrated for weigh ins, likely with minimal food in his system, perhaps diuretics-& so without being very lean & not dehydrated & clearly adding some fat, he did not necessarily need to add *any* muscle to account for the discrepency.

There is also no specific nor suggestive evidence that he ever used PEDs.
Nor behavioral issues (that he did not possess previously lol)!
