Was Evander on Steroids?

The BALCO scandal effectively condemned him. Or at least if should have done. I used to consider Holyfield one of the top 5 HW champs of all time, but the wins at least against Tyson should have a massive asterisk next to them as should many of Shane's (at the time my favourite fighter).

I tend to find boxing fans overlook what they want to overlook. RJJ only bought stuff accidentally over the counter. Shane didn't know what he was taking. Margarito didn't know what was in his gloves. Yeah right

Agreed 100%.

People have to realize too how difficult it actually is to not only put on bulk but MAINTAIN while simultaneously going through the kind of intense cardio training the a boxing camp puts you through.

These PED tests are FAR from foolproof (if it was, steroids wouldn't be an issue).

Also, steroids aren't limited to the guys who look like body builders. In MMA, Royce Gracie pissed hot for steroids. His T/E ratio was off the charts, one of the highest the AC had ever seen. And he isn't winning Mr. Olympus any time soon.

I honestly don't care i feel most use it, I sure Pac uses it and a lot of others like Mosley and Jones use it. I mean pros of any sport will take anything to give them a edge, and if they put on a show i don't really care to be honest. I watch sports to see a show if makes it better to watch i am ok with it.

As for Evander Holyfeild he is a top 10 Heavyweight for me no question and greatest CW of all time. I am pretty sure what ever Holyfeild was doing was not out of the ordinary for everyone else.

mate im not that fussed either, but in the scheme of things where does it stop?

in my opinion cheating with roids is as bad as with hand wraps

so is using hand wraps ok?

[Mr140]

Don't think even steroids can do as much damage as plaster can on someones hands. As for steroids everyone uses them by now so i don't really care they shouldn't even test anymore. Reason being is they can't catch shit anyhow so why even use their tests.
