Okay, so I’ve been hitting the gym for a while, right? And I kept seeing this guy, Canelo, and how he transformed. I mean, the dude was jacked! It got me thinking, “Could this be steroids?” So, I dug in. I started by looking at pictures, comparing his physique from back then to now.
Initial Observation
I pulled up some old photos of Canelo. You know, from his early boxing days. He was fit, no doubt, but leaner. I noticed his muscles weren’t as massive. Then I looked at more recent pictures. Holy smokes! The guy was huge. His shoulders, arms, chest – everything was bigger.
The Deep Dive
I began reading articles and forums. People were talking. Some said it was just hard work and diet. Others were like, “No way, that’s gotta be steroids.” I spent hours going through these discussions. I even started tracking his fights. I watched how his power and stamina changed over time.
- Fights from 2005-2010: Looked fit, good stamina, but not overly powerful.
- Fights from 2011 onwards: Whoa! More aggressive, way more powerful punches, and seemed to recover faster.
Putting the Pieces Together
I pieced together the info I had. The physical changes were drastic. The increase in muscle mass was, well, a lot. I also read about how steroids can boost strength and recovery. It all started to add up. It seemed more and more likely that he was using something.
The Verdict?
Honestly, I’m not a doctor or a boxing expert. But from what I gathered, the changes in Canelo’s body are pretty intense. I saw a clear difference in his before and after. The evidence, in my opinion, leaned towards him using steroids. It’s a bummer, really. I used to look up to the guy. Now, I’m just not so sure.
But hey, that’s just my take on it. You do your own research and decide for yourself. It is just my view.
