    Roy Jones couldn't knock out glass chinned disgrace Ferminin Chrinio but you're saying he could knock out iron chinned Carl Froch without PEDs in him? :think

    Can someone tell me how PEDs increase punching power? I know they increase muscle mass, but bigger muscles don't increase punching power.

    Roy had that "pop"
    No doubting that.

    He's always been a weak chin though, one shot from Kovalev its game over.
    Kovalev had 33% accuracy rate on Hopkins for Christ sake.

    Roy's not avoiding that type of homing missile all night from relaxes.

    Ah I see back to that old excuse once again genius no PED or suppliments will give you god given talent or 1 punch KO power like Roy had .. Once again keep reaching :lol: why did it take. Joe 10 yrs to unify why did he not face any hall of famers in their prime ? Why did he not fight Dawson when he was King of the LHW division or DM when he was his mando if he was squeaky clean and fought the best ? What's his excuse for cherry picking all those years?

    Nope, but they can vastly improve a boxer. If Jones was sooooo unbeatbale, why did he require them and not just use his god given ability like The Fighting Pride of Newbridge Wales did every time he stepped into the squared circle (the 46th and final time destroying Jones Jr, despite the fact Calzaghe's hands where shot). :think

    I'm also not sure how PEDs increase speed. Maybe they increase the number of fast-twitch muscle fibers?

    But let's not forget, Roy took PEDs which help him carry said power. :good

    Juan Manuel Marquez has become faster since he's been covered in acne....even though he's in his 40's :think

    Does anyone else find it funny that a 40-50 year old Hopkins is seen as the best win of certain fighters careers while Roy Jones clearly beating a prime Hopkins is often looked at as a not so good win by these same people. Ignorance is bliss, and a little annoying to read.

    Marquez has caught Pac, and wobbled him with the same shot in previous fights. What has Marquez done after that 4th Pac fight? I guess he only juiced that one time huh?

    I'm pretty sure no PEDs would make someone as fast as Roy Jones was in his prime.

    Think about it. If there were, wouldn't there be more fighters who were as fast as Roy?

    Hopkins wasn't prime. He improved. Calzaghe beat a far superior version to the one Jones beat. :deal

    Erm actually..not covered in acne for the Bradley fight looks slow and loses. Covered in acne for the Alvardo fight, looks fast and sends a fighter with a big size advantage flying across the ring.

    Ok. How long did it take for Hopkins to lose after Jones and how old was he? Didn't Jones have a fractured hand also? But that's ok. He was jacked up on Ripped Fuel which turns fighters into unstoppable creatures.
