    Typically boxers will take steroids like Clenbuterol or Human Growth Hormone or something along those lines. These are the types of steroids that help to cut weight, aid in quick recovery and/or help with your cardio. You will very rarely see a boxer hitting the hardcore Anabolics.

    Thoughts?

    Human Growth Hormone is the best for fighters, it super charges recover and EPO would also be very good for boxing

    They get caught with the weight cut/endurance stuff because they take it close to the fight. If they tested more comprehensively they would find the other stuff.

    Depends on the ped. Some gives you the extra power to get that KO, others endurance and stamina, and others that youth rage, endurance, and stamina.

    Clen is outdated sh****. If someone is caught with it, oh dear... It's mean he is on 100x more stuffs as well.

    HGH literally can transform you into different person, depends on the dosage.
    But Pros are taking stuffs we are yet to hear most probably.
    Though even if we talk about the regular stuffs like test, deca, hgh, etc, etc, the difference between natty and on stuffs is like day and night one.
    So many benefits in literally everything. Strength, endurance, recovery, even speed, and literally everything else, cause you will train 2-3 times harder.
    Helps with muscle mass, with fats, with everything.
    GSP was talking about stuffs that helps concentration, reflexes, makes your brain more reactive, so you will have faster reaction time, etc, etc.
    I know for sure there is things that can 100% improve concentration and Focus.

    Again totally different game.

    Interesting, former WWE wrestlers the British bulldog and the Ultimate warrior were fired in 1992 after admiting to Vince McMahon that they were trying to buy a growth hormone to improve their body types.

    No, being jacked can help with power, but body mechanics are more important for throwing with power, taking PEDS wont make you punch like Wilder etc.

    No, but what if you're already punching like Wilder and then jump on juice

    No, there`s 10/10 power and that`s it, all that creates the power is body mechanics and speed more muscle wouldn`t add to Wilder`s punch that doesn`t make any sense.
