Was Douglas in roids when he beat Tyson?

Stop making **** up, Tyson unfortunately lost, accept it.

 

me too for an exam, got a straight A for an A level, only reason being I was thinking I should do it for my mum. Even though I was entirely self taught, couldtn afford a textbookor past paper and was sitting it in the exam room full of nuttas throwing chewing gum and paper around, had every odd against me, you know? I barely noticed them and just on with it. Raised me something to something magical. I've never come close to delivering like that since.

If its something really precious to you, it rasies your game. His mum was worth more than beating tyson or winning the undisputed title.

 

Maybe put the roids in a bath and just sit in them.... I have no idea

 

lmao

 

Why wouldn't he (or Mike) have been using them? They worked and were legal.

That's worth repeating. Forget testing. They were legal in boxing. There was no need to waste their time testing for something that's legal.

That's the way the climate was back then, and I can guarantee you fighters didn't waste their time trying to figure out which legal performance aids were going to get a bad rap 15 years down the road.

"Neither the Nevada State Athletic Commission or the WBC includes steroids on its list of banned drugs. NSAC executive director Chuck Minker said Hearns' camp has not requested any test for steroids."

That's from June, 1989.

 

Doesn't matter what Douglas was on, Mike was coked to the eyeballs and got KO'd.

 

I have a few decades old question as well.
Is your daddy on PED when making you?

 

I agree. To take it a step further, even if we assume that athletes will avoid illegal means of maximizing their game, it still wouldn't matter in this case.

It wasn't cheating, even if he had more juice in him than an orange grove, because steroids were legal in boxing.

It's unfair to revise those guys into cheaters because today's opinion on steroids/PED's has changed. It's only fair to judge them on whether they followed the rules in place at the time. If boxing didn't care enough about 'roids to ban them until later, that's not Buster's fault.

 

Didn't Tyson win this fight? I could have sworn he had Douglas down for about 13 or 14 seconds. The most overlooked long count in boxing history. But Tyson was the worlds symbolic bully so we conveniently ignore this inconvenient truth.

 

I doubt it's the most overlooked long count in boxing history.
In fact, it's the second most looked at long count in boxing history, after the famous Dempsey-Tunney one.

Long/slow counts happen all the time, and no one even notices.
It's only because Don King tried to steal Douglas's title and give it back to Tyson that this one was even revealed.

 

The second most talked about? That's a surprise to me. I almost never hear mention of the long count when reading about this fight, it's always about Douglas mom passing and Mikey partaking of the geishas that get the interst. Seemed like a very long count to me when I saw it.

 

No, he was in Tokyo.

 

Why would he have been on PEDS? Because he shocked the world at 42-1 odds?

 

Because they were legal and boxing didn't care?

 

Actually there was a slow count and Tyson shoulda won by Ko
