Soviet Fighters- Injuries

Excellent post! :good

 

how gullible are you?

 

Bob Arum is a ****ing idiot.

 

I don't know. I don't particularly care for the Eastern European fighters cuz of their boring styles and personalities but I'm not gonna speculate on whether they were using steroids or not. I am aware of how their sports program works and I will say that those guys work their asses off and take their boxing very seriously. It's no surprise that they've enjoyed the kind of olympic and professional success that they have to this point.

 

The fact remains that Eastern Europeans are genetically big strong people. Look at the strongman competitions, boxing, tennis, hockey, etc.. Even the fastest and strongest non black runners and b-ball players are from there.

 

Boring styles? ... as in Golota-Bowe, Lewis-Vitaly? or Wlad's bombs? that's boring? And I don't understand what you mean by boring personalities... because they're class act athletes and they don't wear skirts in the ring? or act like rapper pimps?

 

I am of the opinion that the benefit of starting training at a young age, is that a young man's body can take SO much more than an older man. Mistakes can be fixed, you can be pushed VERY far.
When you get to the point far, far away from where you started, when you get older you will be that normal bit more aged and less athletic than your younger days, but your younger days will be that much better than the other guy's younger days.
Just a thought!

 

It wouldn't surprise me either. Not just Soviet athletes, but athletes from all over the globe.

 

Of course man. How could I forget? Class act athletes who give their mandatories the run around and pull out of their fights at the last minute after cancellations or trying to outright avoid them. Stop picking at my posts. Just take a look at any press conference. They're ****ing BORING! These guys have zero personality. There must be some truth to what I'm saying cuz u responded and ur reaching with Bowe/Golota cuz Golota is a nutcase. He didn't even win either fight against Bowe. He couldn't finish him off cuz he's a mental case. Same with Vitali who had Lewis ready to go. He's not a mental case, just a bullshitter who can take notes from his brother on how to be a champion.

 

Has nothing to do with roids, US "atheltes" use them just as much, if not more, anyway. The injuries have something to with intense physical training over a long period of time. If you push your body to the limit from a young age for like 20 years it will eventually take its toll when you're approaching 40. US "athlets" usually just sit on their fat ass because they believe training is for talentless losers.

 

Well, considering how the "Soviet" system collapsed 17 years ago, unless this new crop was given roids at like age 6, I think it's a stupid, unsubstantiated statement.

I have no idea how clean the Russian and satellite republic programs are today, but just by looking at these guys, you'd have to not suspect roids.

Arum shouldn't just make statements out of his ass with zero documentation. Hate that.

 

might be true

 

i think streiods are more prevelant among all fighters. more so then we probably think. I have just learned to accept it. you are not going to stop them

 

It may be true in some cases but not all.

 

This guy falls into the insecure/jealous Pole category.

Dont mind him.
