Less muscle, better shape, should be better on his feet

It'd have made me laugh if he had even more muscle.

It'll also be funny if his performance is enhanced without the PEDs

Unfortunately all I think we'll see is a guy who technically is crude because of the lack of amateur experience who's now smaller and weaker and maybe doesnt even hit as hard against more polished guys. I hope for his sake that isnt the case though.

How is he being allowed to fight? He admitted to being on about a dozen drugs, but less than 2 years later, he's back in the ring. Be interesting to see what his record's announced as, to me it's 0-3 since he was on drugs his entire career so the wins should become no contests.

they reduced it for dobbing others on gear in to the board. I don't really think he should be allowed but its up to The board

Wrong on the 2nd count. They asked him if the evidence/admission from certain fighters was correct, he said yes.

The fighters admitted it based on the emails found by the doping people.

Get it right.
I'm sorry I don't understand your post pal is he a grass or not is that what your saying or are you saying uk anti doping don't hand out the bans/suspensions because in larrys case it was on there twitter feed

Larry shouldn't be suing anyone. He should be counting his blessings he has a licence and those he "beat" aren't suing him.

He seems a nice enough guy but I hope he loses Thursday.

I kinda like Larry, having spoken to him on here. I think he's OK. I don't like the cheating and the grassing, but I don't hate the guy. I wish him well.

It's like Chisora, who is a twat with a criminal record for beating women: I still really like and support the guy. For some bizarre reason he's one of my favorites. So if I like Chisora, I can't be all down on Larry can I?
