    Freddie was fairly skilled for a Futch fighter. He was also smart. He made the most of what he could do with his lack of world class talent. PEDs would have surely helped him a lot if he had access to them. You know, if PEDs actually gave fighters punching power which I highly doubt.

    (He couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper back w/Spiked ring's on) - RZA

    He had average power I agree but he picked his punches pretty well and he moved pretty good in places.

    Stick his brain in Pacs head and I wonder what you would get? A great boxing brain with that kind of ability....

    Everyone ought to know heart disease and Parkinson's are the two most proven side effects from steroid use. Along with a slew of other things, heart diseases (Holyfield) and Parkinson's (Ali) are the two you can pinpoint with accuracy. The whole "big head" thing is true as well, but head sizes vary much more than the likelihood of a professional, elite conditioned athlete to get heart diseases and require quadruple bypasses.

    The list of examples gets quite long when you look back to football players, baseball players, wrestlers, and fighters who are suspect of steroid use AND show convincing symptoms since the very early 1970's. We have the Russians (1952 I believe was the first bodybuilding competitions where they juiced up) and the Steelers to thank for that! Steroids are a massive part of our society. It is even being revealed that many models from the 1990's until present are on HGH among other illegal substances to maintain and build form.

    And people are shocked when "accusations" follow a little Filipino fighter who goes from 130 to 147 in 20 months after he already went from 106 to 130 over the previous 13 years. Tell me something isn't off there. Or tell me of other Asian fighters who have experienced something similar. Hell, tell me of a few Asian fighters other than Beibeit Shumenov who have fought above junior welter.
