best he's ever looked!!!

He always looks like that,no?

He's pretty much always ripped.

Has nobody else noticed, what enormous frigging head he has? It's like a frigging bull mastiff's head.

I see the large head comments all the time, typically with accusations of PED use attached.

Are they saying he has PED-Head? Is there some new smart drug that increases the size of a fighters' head I don't know about?

That's pretty much what it is. His head size is taken to be an indicator of PED usage.

I think the PED accusations in relation to the size of his head are in relation to possible HGH usage which can increase bone density and so on. Whether it can make someones overall head bigger than usual though i dunno lol

I believe that the big head thing is linked to HGH usage. Heavy users grow sense bones in the cranial area, as well as bone growth in the digital area (correct me if untrue.)

I remember many people remarked on how Holyfields head seemed to change shape as he moved up to heavy and spent time there.

And there surely can't be much doubt Holy was a huge juicer. Golota also had a huge prominent forehead. As did Valuev, though Valuev suffered from a natural growth abnormality (it that makes sense!)

if he's on HGH, then so is Marquez.





His face is fuller probably due to aging and weight gain and his hair is longer cut instead of the closely cropped look he had as a featherweight (1st pic)

The same goes for Marquez. (but he also that acne problem on his body LOL)

Yes Valuev had acromegaly, caused by an overactive pituitary gland.


I wasn't suggesting Manny was on peds - but now that I look at those photographs, it is striking how much bigger his head and jaw look, the same goes for Marquez, I'm sorry, but both their heads looks far more massive now than their first fight, in relation to their body. This is odd, considering that both of them are fighting at higher weights now than when they were younger, so if anything, you would expect that their heads would look smaller in relation to their now larger bodies.

I'd never even thought about this before.

It really wouldn't surprise me if lots of boxers were on HGH - do they even test for it in urine samples?

Yes, golota had a huge sloping forehead, with what they call 'bossing' around the brows, which is a classic sign of acromegaly, he also had horrific acne all over his back - plus the bouts of lunacy, all lead me to suspect he was a huge steroid freak. He always looked completely mental.

Right - I would bet everything, I mean everything I own at odds of 10-1 against that Golota was juicing. Same with Holyfield. PED testing in boxing is laughable... Commissions don't want to fail their moneymakers! And when they do, bugger all happens.... Jones, Botha etc

Head size could potentially correlate with punches absorbed. The mechanostat theorem could support this. I think it's more plausible than the idea that growth hormone causes enlargement of heads. Growth hormone has no uses or side effects that have anything to do with bone growth. The only somewhat related side effect is that it can cause edema. Also, for the record, growth hormone has different effects in adolescents than it does in adults. So if you grew several feet in your adolescence due to growth hormone, don't assume that you can inject growth hormone as an adult and grow several additional feet, or any other preposterous effects that you might falsely attribute to growth hormone use in adulthood.

You sound like you're just guessing that Holyfield used steroids, but with high confidence. From this, I surmise that you haven't heard of Evan Fields.

It would seem you attempted to insult me, but instead portrayed yourself as being a perverted, homosexual fantasist.
