These PED threads just show you who has actually trained in boxing gyms and who hasn't. I suppose quite a lot of posters here have not actually boxed. If you had been in boxing gyms and mingled with fighters you'd know that they are mostly all on PEDs.
Don't know so much about that , i had my own gym for years , still mess around with training , I can truthfully say , i have never known anyone in my gym to use them , personaly i know bugger all about them , I would'nt put up with anyone using them ,, the only ones i knew who did , there were two of them .
Funny really that both these fellas had similar temprements , both came to the gym at the age of around 11-12 ,, both shown a natural ability for the sport , both done reasonably well in the juniours , and both gave it away when they reached seniour level , both were kids who you had to baby them mentaly , unlike the others in the gym , both these lads would want to know who there boxing , what there like , how many fights did they have at school , ect , and both these kids were ferocious in the ring , UNTIL they could'nt hurt the other guy , then both would actually sit on the stool and say , he hits to hard throw the towel in , both would respond to a telling off , and both if they fought someone decent would act like they had won a world title if they got beat ,
Both after a couple of years lay off , came back to the gym , both had bodys like Arnold , and i told both both of them to leave NO STROIDS allowed in my gym , Both asked why did i say there on steroids , and both got the same answer , which was theres only two ways to get a body like yours , hard work or steroids , and your both too lazy to do the hard workd , so bugger off ,
Both actually went to other gyms and ending up boxing my lads , and we never lost to them , beccause , i only had to tell my other lads , don't matter what , hit them fast and hit them hard and they will turn there backs and give up , and both did .
Course its not always the case , i suppose quite a lot are tough and good , and probably feel they need to do it to get to the next level , and too be honest my boxers never reached the elite level , Aussie rep in ameteurs , and perhaps commonwealth level in the pro's , but never really elite ...... If your in the Elite level , and feel your disadvantaged if you don't do it , well who am i to say right or wrong , its buisness and moneys involved and you may fell you want an even playing feild ,,,,, But guys who take them at the lower levels , well to me there just cowardly foookers who do it to try and get a win hey don't deserve and want an advantage cos there scared , just like the two i mentioned
