    Roy used steroids, bud. He wasn’t the first, he won’t be the last.
    And fwiw, I don’t think steroids help fighters; at least not like they help other athletes. Roy was one of the most gifted fighters in history apart from steroids. The steroids did allow him to carry his gifts up in weight and prolong his stay at the top longer than other reflex-based fighters.

    I am not much of a Jones fan, and I really like Holyfield as one of the most exciting HW’s...but the answer to me would be RJJ and by a comfortable margin.
