Let me throw this out to the boxing buffs. Evander Holyfield beating everyone at 175,but not making the money nor reaching the esteem of being the heavyweight champion. He puts on 40lbs. of muscle,not flab,not looking sloppy taking on the big heavyweights retaining his skills(we can't say this in recent years). I recall looking at his frame when he fought Bowe,Tyson,and Lewis. He looked great. If Ali went from 210 to 225 he looked soft. But little things caught my attention about Holyfield when he got bigger. He started to get bald around his forehead,he looked like he was holding a lot of water in his tissue especially in his chest. And then those irregular heart beats. I remember Holyfield being interviewed saying he attributed his growth by training under the guidance of Lee Haney the 6 time Mr. Universe winner. I've always wondered if something else was going on?

So you're asking if he might have been on steroids? Probably.
