    So a guy who used to weigh in at 175, suddenly popping up at 199 is a big red flag?
    :lol: Thats only a 24 pound jump, and let´s not act like Roy was 175 on fight nights...

    He did not gain that much weight. He also weighed in, fully clothed. But yes, he was using. Gaining muscle takes a long time. Especially when a person is already an efficient athlete. It's not like he was at a noob gains stage. So even if he gained "only" like 5 lbs of muscle, that is suspicious. Well, not "suspicious", not really... sad truth is every high level athlete uses banned stuff.

    He had up to 6 months to gain it, and who knows how much he weighed between fights.

    Why not? He's putting on muscles which does nothing to diminish his skills. Learn the sport of boxing plz.

    Im not sure where you're getting 30 lbs.

    He was probably weighing around 185 in the ring at Lhw, and then weighed in at 193...

    Exactly.

    I'm sure that he was 182 on fight night against Woods in September, 2002.

    Mackie Shilstone says that Roy went to him at 192, and that would have been at some point in January, 2003.

    There was no 30 pounds.

    I think I can safely say that alot of boxers are taking something. Especially the guys who jump 1-2 divisions after a 6-8 week camp

    Doesn't matter how he did it really he was exposed as being a Glass Jawed PED cheat who had no Plan B in a fight. He has suffered numerous brutal KO's and it explains why he avoided punchers in his career and was reluctant to make big fights.
