    And how would he have gotten that opportunity, considering Roy that would have tagged him easily?

    Look at the hand speed, along with the athleticism, reflexes, timing, power and accuracy.

    Come on now.

    You think Roy was using his whole career, and that they made him the fighter he was, with the incredible gifts that he possessed?

    This isn't the film "Limitless" with Bradley Cooper.

    All I have is my own suspicions but if I had to bet money on it, I'd say yes. Same with Shane Mosley, James Tony, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Klitschko etc etc. From personal experience with pro fighters and their supplement use , I'd say that unless they are tested year round by VADA, theRe is just no way to tell. Now, I am not knocking on Roy, I think he is arguably the best h2h fighter at 160 of all time. I just think it's unfair to compare a guy that was given a pass on testing with someone subjected to the most strgent testing in the world.

    Just to be clear, I don't mean that PEDs made him what he was. I do believe however that they have helped quite a bit.

    I couldn't agree more. Whose foot speed did ggg fight that was even in the same galaxy as a prime rjj? Cutting off the ring against guys like Murray and stevens is one thing but no way will it prepare you for cutting it off against a freak like rjj.

    The difference in speed in reflexes is just too much especially for a guy who's as easy to hit as ggg is. Rjj would jump in and out on his ass with ease rack up points busting ggg up while not taking much damage in the process. Rjj by wide ud or tko from cuts is the only outcome here.

    I cant imagine that the people that pick GGG really saw prime Roy because the junk theyre talking is exactly that. Junk! I dont want to hear about roids because that was much later in his career. This dude at 160 was the single best fighter ive seen in my life.

    Im a big GGG fan but im also realistic. Sure he could connect on Roys chin an end the fight but odds are that doesnt happen and he gets dominated till he gets stopped by Roy.
