Yes I do believe I would have won those fights as those fights were won with punching power and despite what people think i think the substances for recovery, not muscle mass or strength
Is it because you have a BSc in Pharmaceutical Chemistry that you were able to synthesise a form of HGH that whilst having the side effect of aiding in your recovery had none of the other commonly known correlations to size, strength and explosive muscle power, something you obviously did not need in the 10 KO's you scored in your first 11 fights? Did you manage to do this with anabolic steroids too, removing their tendency to mostly improve the muscle fiber size in the vastus lateralis (crucial in punching power) and the trapezius muscle (useful in providing a strong neck to absorb punches)?

Those knockdowns with mcdermott were purely because I was not warmed up properly, as u see i got up both times and beat the count. I was not hurt at any point but if u are not warm, punches have a more pronounced effect
Do you usually wobble like that when you are not hurt? Were you trying to call his bluff?

Me being muscular has nothing to do with the substances i was taking as i was naturally a very muscular guy anyway and as i said they were not used to be muscular, so that is down to my genetics.
there is a point of diminishing returns as far as muscle mass is concerned as u want enough to help ur power and protect vital organs but not too much that will hamper ur stamina as muscles require oxygen. so it really has to be experimented with off season to see what is best.
Were your experiments with muscle building and EPO not so successful, only you looked pretty gassed at the end of the Sexton fight and that was stopped early?

At this moment this is not an option.
As a graduate in pharmaceuticals did you not worry about the side effects of the drugs you ingested? Excessive organ growth and heart disease from HGH, hypertension,an increase in LDL cholesterol,coronary artery disease, premature baldness from anabolic steroids and the increased risk of heart attacks and strokes with EPO? Could you not use your knowledge to help educate people on the dangers of using the aforesaid PED's? You seem uniquely qualified to do so here in the UK
