Roy Jones without the peds

Your so called facts are hilarious! :good

Name the three continents where Roy's been brutally KO'd Einstein?

 

:good

 

I go by numbers?

Roy WAS 34, and he'd had nearly 50 fights.

They can't be manipulated.

It wasn't overhyped.

How many others have done it?

Type me a list.

Which current 168-175 fighters look as though they'll fight ANY HW???

 

He hasn't even got that right.

Green didn't brutally KO him.

Only Lebedev and Johnson have brutally KO'd him.

 

Its a tough one to digest, If Roy Jones is juicing to fight a complete ham n egger like Richard Hall then you would have to be extremely naïve to believe that was the only time Roy Jones juiced. What did he see in Richard Hall that made him think for the only time in his career "I need to juice just this once to beat this man". The lapse testing at this time meant only a fool could be caught juicing and yet he still did, hell only a fool today could get caught juicing, look at Lance Armstrong never failing a test.

You look at American based boxers in this time period and something doesn't sit comfortably with me, they were on a different level to their peers, and though theres not proof with all of them I have strong suspicions that the likes of Jones, Toney, ODLH, Mosley, Hoyfield, Pacquiao etc juiced for large periods of their careers, giving them a hugely unfair advantage over opponents (obviously not all of them may have been clean either).

You look at American based fighters recently, and the obvious improvement in testing seems to have created a much more level playing field in all divisions, the American supermen don't seem so invincible, they just seem like fighters from any other country bar the wonderfull Floyd 'Money' Mayweather Jnr.

It creates a moral question for boxing fans and a pattern seems to be emerging, American fight fans (and specific fanboys of a fighter) seem to want sweep drug cheating under the carpet and create as many excuses as possible to defend their idol, we seem to have an epidemic of steroid apologists on esb.

In contrast, the British fight fans completely vilify drug cheats and consider them an absolute disgrace to the sport of boxing. British culture despises cheats, you only have to look at the way we treated sprinter Dwayne Chambers when he was found guilty of taking steroids, we wanted him to never represent our country again, yet over the pond its just treated part and parcel of the sport.

With regards to Roy Jones, I absolutely loved him at the Olympics. When I was 8 or 9 I was fascinated by Ali, I got videos bought of him and I loved the flash style and charismatic talking, fortunately Sugar Ray Leonard was fighting at that time and he was my idol, watching footage of him clowing Hearns and Duran, and then staying up to the early hours and watching him beat Hagler was brilliant, I loved that style of fighter. Then to watch Jones at the Seoul Olympics was awesome, it was like Ali passed the torch on to Leonard and Leonard was passing the torch on to Jones.

Somewhere along the way Jones lost me and the steroids were a huge factor in that. Jones would have been a great boxer in any era but theres no way he would have been as great without the PED's imo, I can't morally sit comfortable supporting a fighter who is a cheat and I never will.

 

North America, Australia, Europe (or Asia as Russia is in both)

Jones has a Glass Jaw.

 

Ham n egger Richard hall took Michaelzcewski's title in his hometown AFTER Roy kicked his ass :rofl

 

Unlike Roy, Pacquiao never failed a drug test.

 

That's funny because I would put my money on the line that The one more likely on peds is Marquez...coming in like a linebacker.

 

When did he get brutally KO'd in Australia?

Only a few months ago, Tyson was a blob at nearly 260 pounds. He since has pared down to 217, his best fighting weight, and looked sleek in a tight- fitting striped shirt and white shorts. A huge weight gain following his victory over Spinks and speculation that he had a drinking problem
