I've had intact APBTs and altered APBTs. As far as muscle mass and conditioning goes, I bet very few people could see a side-shot comparison between one of each and guess accurately as to which is which.
Personally, I wanted my catch dogs s/n so I could hunt whenever.
I'm not saying some digs don't have issues, but I wouldn't blame all issues on a dog being s/n. You can't paint them all with a paintbrush, especially while fighting the same stereotyping about intact dogs.
The fact is that there are medical pros and cons on both sides of the issue. There might not ever truly be a right answer, but there won't rarely be a wrong one. People need to make this educated decision for themselves.
