    We talked about this before, I showed you the Mackie quotes and you seemed content with it. Was quite a bit ago, post/thread is gone or I would bring it up.

    Roy wasn't trying hard. He didn't go out of his way saying he was 200lbs. I dont even remember he mentioning anything to the press about the scales being off but he does get mad in the video. Why would Roy say he hasn't been 193 for 6 weeks? Why would Mackie say he was 199?

    Why would a different scale show him 7lbs HIGHER with those clothes off? I mean sure, walmart scales aren't perfect but you are not going to have a difference of 7lbs.

    I dont remember him saying he was 186. There is no denying he cut muscle to make weight. If I could find photos of the weigh in for the first Tarver fight compared to any other weigh in for Jones he looked not nearly as good as he has before, his body was not the same.

    Why do you keep talking about the first Tarver fight? You do realize that it was the SECOND Tarver fight that he was knocked out in, right? You guys always use this weight excuse as if it was the first Tarver fight. Jones himself has ALWAYS said, before and after the second Tarver fight that he was in perfect condition, the weight was easy, ect... He actually did a sit down interview with HBO where he actually blamed the loss on everything going too easy for him, and everything being too perfect, and smooth. He said that his training camp went too perfect... his weight was perfect.... his conditioning was perfect... the first round was too easy and it went perfect.... and then he got knocked out.

    There is no excuse for that second loss. He simply got knocked out. He's only human.

    Im saying that it effected him and the reason he won the first time was because Tarver refused to pull the trigger. Tarver waited for Jones to go on the ropes, he never forced him.

    Tarver went after Jones the 2nd fight and thats how he got the KO. Jones was there for the taking in the first fight. Tarver lost it and for whatever reason as Foreman. Tarver refuses to take advantage of anything.


    Theres no excuse, he got caught, but he clearly was not the same fighter after the Ruiz fight, SPECIALLY after he hurt his body that. You could tell he slowed, and his reflexes were even worst.

    Jones should of retired after the first Tarver fight.

    He clearly was not the same fighter. As we all saw what happened.

    Besides the small amount of steroids that they found in his system from something he bought over the counter before the Hall fight, and he wasn't even suspended because the amount of roids was so minute...what were Jones problems with steroids in the past??? We'd like to know...lol. We don't like the fact that you are keeping secrets from us:lol:

    You're the idiot who responded to me rather than the guy who I responded to pusshead. Then you talk about moore and 15 lbs, when in fact it was 20 lbs, and Moore had nothing to do with nothing:lol:. Next time speak to the person I agree to, and ask me what I agreed to...then I won't have to roast your sorry ass when you post out of stupidity. Widow sided with you, and he says the weight didn't bother Roy when YOU in fact agreed that it did for the rematch. Two ******s...:lol:

    That steroid thing about Roy is annoying as hell. People act like he was injecting all kinds of stuff. It's as annoying as the Shane haters thinking taking roids for a few weeks before the ODLH fight makes him some massive cheat! I'd like to hear Widdowmaker comment on these past problems myself!:good What about the robot sisters taking roids when they were still in the Russian boxing program?:rasta

    No he didn't. I don't think you are lying, but no... Moore did not gain a lot of weight/muscle to fight for the HW title, and then come back down and defend his Lh title. Moore might have fought at heavy, and then lightheavy afterwards(I'd have to check for myself), but he did not do what Jones did. Jones trained hard for 6 months to gain muscle/weight, and he WON the title, and beat his #1 mandatory.

    Did

    Small amounts?:lol: What was it, 3 or 4 times over the legal amount?

    Over the counter supplements my ass. What do you mean "besides" the Hall fight. How many instances of being caught with anabolic steroids in the system do you need for it to be part of your past? I could understand if it was medically prescribed for an injury or something... but he was simply juicing. That time he got caught. I am sure you also believed Mosley when he tried to play it off like he didn't know he was injecting illegal substances into his system.:-( As if these athletes really just inject stuff into their bodies and have no idea what they are doing. You guys are just too damn gullible.

    Hey dumbass, Roy was not suspended because the amount found in his system was so minute that it would not have help him perform. Everyone wants to bust someone for roids...why not Roy? Because they couldn't. You didn't post the letter stating why he was NOT suspended.
