That whole "steroids, long-term side effects" is bullcrap the guy has fought for a LONG time and he's old. You're making an assumption saying it's steroids that caused his injuries and making frivilous statements like that is dangerous.

Vitali had 195-15 record as an amateur, 35-3 record as a pro boxer, and a record of something like 34-1 as a professional kickboxer. That totals it up to 283 fights....and with him being 6'8 or so and with a style where his posture is horrible and he's always throwing power punches he's BOUND to have back trouble....hell Rocky Marciano had back trouble that forced him to retire....you going to tell me he used steroids? I have back trouble from throwing power punches and I'm 6'1 and only 25 years old....I don't use steroids.


All you guys whining about the fucking steroids need to give it a fucking rest
