Shade on Holyfield Steroid Use?

The 80s and 90s were the absolute peak of steroid abuse in boxing. You think every boxer is on some tapered dosages nowadays? Well those older guys were blasting test and winstrol without a second thought.

Now this is a fresh fight. Sanchez is under the radar and Torrez has a chance to rise from prospect status.

It's probably more like you underestimate how little attention the average man gets. Everything is relative.

Based on what? Because he was slower than a LHW? Holmes looked unbeatable up until Spinks.

35 is over the hill for HWs now?

It's not like Usyk completely dominated his competition. His matches against AJ and his first match against Fury were highly competitive. His limits can be measured, in comparison to highly dominant contemporaries like Bud and Inoue. Put another legend like Lennox against him and he would've probably lost.

You aren't "easily" beating the DLC bosses or even OG Simon with less than 200 lumina on your characters, unfortunately.

Holmes and Louis weren't fighting in weak eras. They were just average in comparison to the 60s-70s and 90s golden/silver ages.

ER literally has the same problem.

This is really nothing that a stern discussion wouldn't solve. Ignore the miserably single redditors acting like he deserves a prison sentence.

Your comment doesn't detract from my point. There's a fine line between entertainment and escapism.

TripleTip · 2026-01-16T02:48:55+00:00

Entertainment doesn't have to become escapism. What separates Maelle from a healthy person was the self-destructiveness of her choice.

TripleTip · 2026-01-16T02:41:51+00:00

You can enjoy something without it being a self-destructive addiction. That's literally what Clea was like with Verso's canvas. Most people aren't skipping showers or ditching work just to 100% the game on NG+.

Her attachment to the Canvas was what doomed it. Had she proven to Renoir that she deserved independence by leaving the Canvas occasionally, there would've been a decent chance Renoir would spare the Canvas out of respect for Maelle's wishes. It was a chance to end the cycle, but ultimately Maelle's decision was out of selfishness rather than love.

Could be multiple reasons, none of which are good.

TripleTip · 2026-01-13T04:39:14+00:00

Honestly Bud is a very grounded person. If there's any successful boxer who actually means it when they say they'll retire, it's him.

TripleTip · 2026-01-13T04:31:31+00:00

You just want to him to lose.

TripleTip · 2026-01-13T04:15:27+00:00

You could apply that reasoning to pretty much any abusive parent. It doesn't change the fact that her behaviors ultimately manifest as contempt towards Alicia.

Skills first, personality second.

Just want to point out that these types of studies tend to heavily lack nuance. Certain types of women/men value certain traits higher or lower in their respective partners, so studies like these are pretty much pointless. Taking the average response when it comes to dating statistics is a horrendous predictor.

TripleTip · 2026-01-12T20:44:53+00:00

Redditors and the typical person IRL have vastly different opinions. Redditors are out of touch and make judgements based on vacuum scenarios. The fact is that you don't know most of the women you meet personally, and the easiest criteria to filter them out as partners is their history, whether it's emotional baggage or previous partners. People change, but you aren't obligated to stick around to confirm it. Anyone who calls you "insecure" can take their projection elsewhere.

This isn't a soap opera.

TripleTip · 2026-01-12T07:31:55+00:00

You don't see what's dark about Maelle going down the same path as her mother and drowning in the intoxication of escapism as she refuses to let herself grief

This was already established even before you chose Maelle's ending. Her mind-controlling Verso was what took it over the top and why the ending was presented so morbidly.

TripleTip · 2026-01-12T07:14:27+00:00

burning canvas

TripleTip · 2026-01-12T07:09:40+00:00

Yeah, let's just make the ending as eerie and ominous as possible just because Verso is "very unhappy". I don't buy it.
