    I kind of doubt it...Hearns fought as high as 160 before he ever fought SRL at a skinny 147 in the late 70's....I would not think that any steroid on his frame would have been controllable enough to stop him from hitting 200+ easily without getting off it in time to trim back down to 175 without losing all the PED benefits...his shoulders and upper body in general is where he seemed to put on weight naturally and to go to 160+ seemed easy for Hearns and more natural as well.....I can see where it could be suspected as shoulders in short time frames are always the sure sign of steroid use especially when they get that plump shiny look....but Hearns never had the steroid look

    I never thought of Hearns on steroids. He had the height to do what he did, and even when he moved up he still struggled.

    This from the poster with 2 names MarkAnt & saad54 in order to pretend to have someone who agrees with you? Pathetic. And yes I was joking w the steroid post.

    No he wasnt. As a matter of fact i think Hearns joked about maybe moving up to heavy and Steward said he wasnt going to get up in the middle of the night to make and feed Tommy more mashed potatos.
