    Many thanks! :good At this point, i don't know, maybe Tony Thompson is right when he says that peds should be openly allowed...

    IMO, he has been juicing from Bowe II to the present day.

    Holyfield was many things, but surely he wasn't a ******, do you even know what "******" means?
    And, c'mon, Tyson was blatantly on juices, in many of his fights he was so pumped up he seemed on the verge of exploding; not that his opponents weren't, it's just that it was blatantly evident on him, even if peds cannot be judged by physical aspect alone.

    Holyfield never was on roids. Evan Fields was, though.

    Evan Fields would not appreciate being lumped together with Mr Holyfield.

    Its far more likely he started in 1986 when he began working with Tim Hallmark in the build-up to Qawi 1. Holy had supernatural stamina that night & ended up in hospital after losing 15lbs during the fight & collapsing shortly afterwards.

    The period after Bowe 1 & especially Moorer 1 is even more suspicious.

    Considering the amount of disgusting dirty cheating he did in the ring it's hardly surprising what he did outside the ring in order to win. Mike Tyson always gets branded as a 'monster' and what have you due to the bite but that clearly wasn't the worst bit of cheating during that fight and the previous Holy fight. Tyson put it best here.
