That kind of definition says juice and yet his lack of pop says not.
Not a fan of the guy but I think he's the second best welter out there and will beat Manny.
A low body fat % can be obtained without the use of PEDs, and there's no evidence that juice has any real impact on a guy's punching power.Quote:

Lol or make a guy run faster or hit a ball better. I think when a guy comes from 122 (well started at 106) pounds and starts destroying the cream of the crop all the way to 147 while his power and speed increases is evidence of something but that's another thread. I should not have even touched on it. That definition is not common and there is little doubt that steroids increase power, strength and speed and are used by a lot of people at the top of this sport for that very reason. Punchers are born but also enhanced.Quote:

At any rate, Tim seems really confident to me and I think he gets a clear win this time.
Tims definition doesn't seem as odd to me as his bulk. I believe he's vegan and every vegan I know is well defined but I can't think of one with substantial mass.
Are Vegan's the bad guys in Star Trek ?;)Quote:

I've been waiting for this fight since the last time they fought. I've come to see Bradley differently since that fight but he didn't win that fight and I think Manny is going to make sure the judges don't have a real choice.
Truthfully, I won't have a big problem with Bradley winning if it's convincing.
Bradley always looks to be in great condition to me, I don't know if being ripped adds anything to his game or not, I've never seen him any other way for a fight.
A lot of headway has been made for vegan athletes in terms of supplements and alternative protein sources over the last 10 years or so.Quote:

Punching power is a weird thing, because physical strength doesn't necessarily translate into big KO power. We've seen a ton of big bulky dudes with mediocre to average power and we've seen lanky dudes and softbodies who could stop a train with their power.Quote:

And Bonnar knows how to punch, he was a Golden Gloves boxing champ in Chicago, and we're talking small MMA gloves.
Haha, that is funny. Honestly! That's Ron Howard's brother, Clint Howard (very talented himself) for anyone who doesn't know.Quote:

Watching boxing 24/7 and they are making out Manny is finished and Bradley had 2 bad feet and will win the fight.
Bradley is always well conditioned but he is not a big puncher.
Being ripped means nothing in Boxing and punching power aint got shit to do with it.
Bradley is naturally cut like that.. he's not on drugs..
Certainly possible, I don't know any professional athlete vegans. I was just speaking of the few I know personally. They are all trim. Considering all the new forms of protein available what you say doesn't surprise me.Quote:

I should add that I don't trust any athlete completely about steroids though.(especially NBA) I wouldn't accuse him but he's lumped in with the rest in the we don't know category.
Thats Ron Howards brother.Quote:

I'm with you there, I'm not trying to say Tim Bradley is clean because in my mind, if you are an elite-level athlete now a days you're a suspect - sad but true.Quote:
