I like AJ... but I think hes juicing. The guy looks like a body builder and appears to have a roid gut, at least imo. I have no similar reasons to think Wilder is juicing. That being said I think most fighters are probably on something.
Thank you for the 5 stars, i am honoured, however perhaps you ought to look up definition of condescending, and suggest that perhaps you own that title yourself, rather than me. I asked other forum users their views whether Wilder had used PEDs, as the thread title makes clear. I have stated i know little about PEDs use in boxing other than what i read, so perhaps through this thread i might have gained more insight into PEDs from better informed folk here. Likewise i am not from US so again only know about Wilder from the media we get this side of the Atlantic, so again other more informed folk here might have given more info.
Using your dumb wannabe smart condescending style of writing just shows you are fanboy. What, lemme guess AJ is your guy? I'm not even a fan of Windmills, make fun of him when I can but even I don't stoop this low and feign ignorance like a fanboy.
I merely asked a question, am i a fanboy for any boxer,? no i am not. if i am showing ignorance for asking a question then yes i am guilty as charged, if however i am supposedly feigning, then catergorically am innocent. I have expressed my opinion about Joshua numerous times on this forum, some good but plenty of negative, especially his gaining of muscle bulk and him gassing in later rounds, if that is being a fanboy then yes guilty as charged, but likewise i have expressed both positives and negatives about Wilder too, so does that mean i am a fanboy for both AJ and Wilder?
KW, you are admirably gracious & mature, so why the "Warrior" moniker? To those few showing contempt & personal insults from a secure remove: back off. This forum has many informed & even great posters, but also long has been infested with malicious anger management junkies. If you would not do this in real life for fear of being attacked physically or proving yourself a juvenile punk & losing respect, fuhgettibout doing it here. Now as to the question at hand... We need to be able to swallow a huge dose of uncertainty as to who is using or not. Anyone could be guilty, things are masked, cycled off in time, or as yet undetectable. But that does not mean that it is fair or rational to assume everyone or most anyone successful is a drug cheat. Even the statement that most top athletes are likely cheating... That MAY be true. But we do not really KNOW how many use, or how many do not for what combination of honor, fear of being caught, or other reasons. I think if an athlete shows dramatic improvement in a short time when performance & age do not show they likely would do so clean...That is a reason to be suspicious. Though sometimes training protocols & other factors might allow this. Likewise an athlete who gets much more muscular in a short period-especially when not very young-at least when already well developed. Wilder shows none of these traits. Not that I love his lack of boxing skills, but some let this bias them. There are some PEDs that allow increased strength without bulk. There is no reason to assume Wilder is using them though. When actually losing weight it is less likely still. I am curious as to how some see him better at this weight-is he really sharper, more punch resistance, increased endurance...? Ortiz did not have the endurance to keep up his success or pick up the pace. But Wilder was already lean, I do not see how the gains in cardio or endurance could have been more than marginal...And why it is worth the trade off in muscle. It is as wrong to assume everyone dirty as be naive & assume all not caught are innocent. But absent evidence, or strong suggestive factors such as dramatic physique changes-we should assume innocence.
That would be a great advertisement.... "You knows what separates the boys from the men son? Drugs. If you want to be the best, you have to dope like the best". Hahaha I agree, I felt sorry for Armstrong, if you think there is one clean person in cycling you're delusional. I dont know if Wilder or Joshua are doping ATM, but I guarantee that both of them were at some point in their careers. Probably the point where both of them bulked 30 pounds of muscle in 12 months.
Who AJ? I agree it’s horrible to look at,surprising that they keep showing it off,those pics of him with the training ball above his head are just off in every way,how is it a specimen like AJ should look this way cause without sounding gay the human body is a marvel to look upon or at least should be,that hgh gut with its eight pack just looks all wrong and unnatural.
