    Pretty much everyone is on the sauce, I get it, but Jones would've been nothing without it given his technique was all over the place and he was so reliant on his athleticism.

    You can take roids for 30 years and still can’t do half the **** Roy used to do in his prime, roids are only a part of it, Roy’s athleticism was a gift of god regardless of what he took to enchance it.

    So how come have we yet to see anyone else as athletically gifted?

    Roy fought the way he fought all of his life, you can’t stuff spoonful of roids when you’re a teenager and get the results he had. Your statement is almost too moronic to take seriously.

    Complete bollocks
    Everything was enhanced sure, but you gotta have something there to enhance in the first place

    Jones was brilliant

    Nonsense. RJJ was able to do what most fighters couldn't do with or without enhancement. He was one of a kind.

    You genuinely believe that either was as athletic as RJJ?

    Ppl not understanding RJJ's technical brilliance behind the reflexes is a travesty. That boy could fight.

    It defiantly tarnishes the legacy, and anyone saying no is lying to themselves. PEDs matter, and not just when a guy you don't like is caught.

    Also an amazing coincidence that he started being an opponent-type fighter not long after we he quietly busted and let off the hook.

    He obviously juiced for Ruiz, but after that cherrypick realized that things were going to get real uncomfortable for him if stayed at heavyweight. He figured he’d play it safe by not juicing and returning to 175, badly miscalculating how much benefits there were to juicing.

    The juice obviously helped him but he wouldn't have been nothing.

    Roy was enhanced, but so is everyone else, yet there is only 1 RJJ.

    Roy was an incredibly rare talent that has never been seen before or since.

    At his peak he was the most amazing fighter I've ever observed.

    Sadly, staying past his best and getting cleaned out really tarnished his legacy.
