    Roy was exceptionally talented but he feasted on one too many cans. In this way, I view him much like the Klit bros, but at least they take whatever comes their way. Why oh why couldn´t he make a god damn fight with his only real long time (and in the US totally under exposed for a reason) competitor Dariusz Michalczewski. The two had so many shared opponents and both did just as well. I hope Pac and May don´t follow in their footsteps.

    Point one, is that it was at one point . . . coffee

    Point two, it was legal but a component within an over the counter product was banned. Do you read the label of all the products you take?
    Its not like he had loaded gloves and claimed that he did not notice the difference . . .lol.

    oh yeah, ******* Margocheato was/is overrated . . . especially when the say PBF was afraid of him . . . lol![/quote]

    Margocheato and Luis Resto is the worst of all. Agreed.

    "Do you read the label of all the products you take? "

    No, I dont take any kinds of chemically engineered products. but if I did, and was an elite athlete, I would of course check the labels and consult with the list of banned substances and with experts.

    Then why did he test positive for it? Also, it did contain ephedrine a the time, which is a banned substance in sports too, as noted earlier. The man at the very least uses another banned substance as an excuse :lol:


    This is not some kind of blind hate against him. I was a big fan of him once, until I found about this.

    No. :patsch Have you ever heard of Bob Fitzsimmons? He was the REAL heavyweight Champion, not the fake one, like Roy was. Roy is not overrated and is one of the very greatest of all time, so we are in agreement there, but your facts needed correcting.

    :lol::rofl:patsch

    Please tell me how he is the best ever h2h with that Glass Jaw? Can you imagine him getting cracked by Bob Foster, Archie Moore, Marvin Hagler, Michael Spinks, or a host of others? It would be Shattered Glass. Roy didn't fight anyone on this level in his career. He handpicked mediocre opposition his whole career. The guy is a Fraud.

    Calzaghe padded his legacy with fighters who padded their resumes with bums.

    Those three were all elite level fighters. McCallum never got the chance to be great due to the fab four never gicving him a chance.
    If he managed to regain his momentum after the Jones loss, then I think he could of qualified, but I agree with you he shouldnt really be considered an atg.
    I dont know much about the offers from the k-bros but I'm happy those fights never happened.

    As for the mma thing - no comment

    The reason I dont think his overrated is mainly because a lot of people just know Toney for his hw time - where he was overweight and lazy
