The wraps didn't matter, Hop being an ATG did...

Eastman had only one loss, was the #1 ranked challenger, and was a big middleweight. He was viewed as Hop's biggest challenge at the time and a significant threat. Once again, it would've been better for you to keep your mouth shut and not confirm your ignorance. Back to my point of bringing Howard up, Hop, at this point of his career, was already showing signs of stamina declining and would start slow and then mount a late surge.

Oscar was fat for the Sturm fight, but learned his lesson and came to fight in good shape, weighing about 155. Since you are new to the sport I will clue you in, Hop came in well under the middleweight limit as well, weighing in at 156. Once again, my point is that Hop conserved energy early to come on strong late, showing a reduction in stamina, and contrary to PED usage.

I notice that you dropped your original PED argument and tried to change the subject. Good idea to drop the PED/Armstrong talk. Bad idea to shoot your mouth off more though...
Tito knew he was a cheater and that he lacked the power that made him the dominant fighter that he was. This is why Bernard dominated him the way he did. From the first bell Tito threw without conviction. If you watch the fight you'll see he was beat from the start.

Eastman was not considered a real threat. If you wanna act like anyone gave him a chance then you go ahead. I remember watching that fight. Bernard is 2 steps above that bald bum.

Oscar a terrible actor.

I dropped the PED talk because i know I'm right.
