In your opinion, was Holyfield a Juicer?

[CarlosG815]

Just your personal opinion. I am not sure myself, I'm just curious what you think.

Many people look at Barry Bonds and talk about the size of his head in comparison to when he was young.

Judging by the fact that Holyfield's head is much larger than it was when he was younger, do you believe he had taken steroids throughout his career?

I read in an article recently that he claims to have never taken steroids or any PED's.

yes i think he has taken them i also think Foreman, Lewis, Tyson, Vitali Klitschko, Wlad Klitschko, Rahman, McCall, Morrison, Moorer, Ruddock have all used steroids.

I'd like to think that he never had taken anything illegal.

The areas that could make the doubter su****ious are:


The claim that he added an inch and a half to his height since moving up from cruiserweight.

That his muscle tone was always so cut and defined.

That his stamina, recovery and workrate at his peak was exemplary.

That he had heart problems in the mid 90s. Steroid usage has been linked to heart issues.


On the other side of the coin, his Christian faith has always seemed genuine. If he was a knowing steroid abuser this would surely cause conflict within him.

Also in all these years you would expect something to come to light. I know there were the rumours of performance enhancers being sent to an 'E Field', but I'd require more substantial evidence really.

What gives you the idea that all those did?

I am a Holyfield fan but I have felt for some time that he has been assisted by using steroids at certain points when he moved up from cruiserweight. The look of his body changed and did not look natural.

some have admitted juicing, some have been caught juicing and the others have a su****ion over them that they have juiced

after Holyfield lost his title to Rid**** Bowe then came their rematch and when Evander was introduced in the ring and took off his robe, my first thoughts and words was,"Holyfield is full of juice".. He looked a different person to the guy who lost to Bowe and he had grown 4cm in height.

That was one of the points where I felt he had used gear. People seem to think you have to be on steroids all the time to get benefits but that is not true. If you work out heavy with steroids and stop you take the gains with you,you might lose a bit of mass when you stop using but you have the bulk of the gains. A lot of top athletes and phenoms use PEDs at points in their training otherwise they would not be world beaters. That is the truth of the world we live in.

[sleazyfellow]

Yeah he was, at least IMO.

How do you know that?
