    When I was a young boy watching Roy Jones Jr in his prime. Man......... He was doing things that I never thought were humanly possible. He was a real life superman. He was making fighters look like they were moving in slow motion.

    Do you think he took steroids?

    Hard to say tbh. I remember reading how his dad trained him from young. Pretty sure he,d put nails in wood...that would hit roy if he forgot to cover up or whatever. Stuff like that. Extraordinary measures often creates extraordinary results.

    I think his old man was a hard hard task master to the point he was always gonna end up standing out from the crowd a bit similar to say tyson....with a different type of tutoring but one that was probably just as relentless.

    Hard to say really. I strongly suspect he probably was....but he,d have been a bit of a superman regardless. I think most of them we,re on something.

    No it was a myth perpetuated by the North Korean's in order to undermine America's boxing sport superstars

    Anabolic steroids help build muscle tissue and increase body mass by acting like the body's natural male hormone, testosterone. However, steroids cannot improve an athlete's agility or skill. Many factors determine athletic ability, including genetics, body size, age, sex, diet and how hard the athlete trains.
