Was Evander on Steroids?

[Boxer4life]

I liked evander for most of his career but i was watching his fights against tyson and it just seems to me that he was unnaturally stronger than tyson, and he made a big man in tyson look tiny, as well as other evidence to support that he may have, and i feel like many boxers,including my favorites, like roy jones may have slipped through there careers on PED,s and never got caught. I would hate to knock these guys especially if there just hard workers, but it just all seems so unnatural. Thoughts?

Any other fighters that have possibly been on it?

He wasn't on steroids but he got his power from optimus primes matrix of leadership

He was some what involved in the Balco scandel. Thomas Hauser wrote that when the FBI searched the property, they found that a large amount of drugs were being shipped to an "Evan Fields", who curiously had the same address and phone number as Evander Holyfield.

Other then that, I never heard anything thing else.

Yeah, what Lance said. You'd have to be pretty naive to think that wasn't Evander Holyfield. Its one thing to reserve your judgement, even with glaring evidence, but a naive thing to refuse to believe Holyfield may have very well been juicing.

When Holyfield was Cruiserweight Champ, the weight limit was 190 lbs but Holyfield usually weighed in several lbs under at 186 lbs, 187, 188 lbs.

In April 1988, Holyfield scaled 190 lbs against Carlos DeLeon for his final Cruiserweight fight.
In Dec 1988, Holyfield scaled 212 lbs ripped against Pinklon Thomas.




Mr.Olympia legend Lee Haney was in charge of bulking up Holyfield back then.

My own starting point is I'd guess most world class athletes of the last fifteen years have used PED's.

But since that belief is all in my own head it doesn't, and shouldn't carry any weight.

218 lbs against Mike Tyson.
186 lbs vs Dwight Muhammad Qawi for the Cruiserweight Title.

I agree, if Evander, who is one of my all-time favs', is just a hard worker, then it wouldn't be fair to knock him, after all he's never tested positive for anything that's been banned by boxing. I tend to believe however, that Holyfield has in the past used PEDs', like you say Boxer4, it's just too unnatural to go from light-heavyweight all the way up to heavyweight competing at such a high level simply by working hard, but who knows.

I do care if they take drugs, I hope he has not and until found guilty I refuse to believe it.

See that just donuts look real to me no matter how good your genes may be, good post.

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.

And thats what i am saying, i feel like it ay be a little to prelevant in the sport and i honestly don't feel thats ok, because there are guys who think they have to be fair and pay a heavy price for it, i believe it was teddy who said, this isn't a sport where you just hit more home runs, your hitting people in the head.

[Mr140]

Yea but i am pretty sure all boxer are aware that there is a good chance there opponent is using it. To be honest with you think they should just lift the ban on it then everybody be on equal playing field.
