Drugs dont give you heart and skills, homey.. drugs are overblown in boxing. Its like who cares if a fighter takes drugs. Just allow all fighters to take drugs then it would be an even playing field..

If that bum joe blow Lopez took drugs, would he be any better? He would still be a bum..

Drugs or no drugs, holy beats the diver Liston aka uncle tom..
Yep that's the truth ain't it. The steroid age gives a modern fighter 2 benefits, it can increase his strength to weight ratio to abnornmal levels which may be beneficial to a boxer but not really a sport specific attribute, power is different. The other thing is it can enable him to move up in weight much more successfully but at the new weight he must face other boxers of that weight anyway including the natural fighters of that weight who normally hit harder anyway. Hence they do not produce better boxers, or better fighters in and of themselves!!
