    I don't as such. I believe 'Zaggers beats Roid too.

    He was just all wrong for him :nod

    Too slick, too white.

    But regarding Jones...well Popeye never beat Bluto without spinach.

    Roy was an amazing boxing talent with or without roids. There is tons of speculation there as well.. We don't know what he was taking as it was never proven, we don't know when he started or stopped, and to think they were responsible for how good he was without knowing that is ridiculous to me.

    Regarding Jones vs. Calzaghe, I think the opposite of you, I think prime Jones was all wrong for Joe.. He had more speed, more power, better reflexes, much harder to hit clean... Joe would give him a good fight, but doesn't have the tools to do the job IMO.

    I guess we will never know because he was on them throughout his prime :nod

    The Toney fight is probably the right answer, but I went with the win over Hill. (Who was not over the Hill...sorry, bad joke.)

    Awesome body shot. Leveling a first-rate professional with a bodyshot is extremely rare, but Jones did it.

    I don't think steriods can make a good boxer great. If they could, Hall should have done better, because he had almost twice the ammount over the legal testosterone level than Roy and he still got thrashed.

    With his glass chin, I think Jones while talented and would still box at a high level, however he'd be an Amir Khan type level.

    Gimperial thinks PEDs don't help boxers in anyway.

    His point is null and void.

    Not as high as you might think.

    I just had a quick look through his post history and only 148 of his last 250 posts were on his wife's favourite boxer.

    That's only 59 % !

    I could have sworn it would have been higher.

    Still, 148 posts in three weeks (around seven posts per day out of the eleven or so per day that he posted during that period) on the object of Missus Gee's desires, does qualify the lad as

    I know you are having a laugh here Hans, and we both know Khan is no Jones... Jones' chin was on another level than Khan's as well.

    Hopefully Jones fights Huck and we can see what happens. He still has a chance to win another belt.

    We all know old man Roy has almost no chance at lasting 12 against Huck... Prime Jones I would favor though.

    Gimperial thinks that thinking that PEDs don't help boxers means he displays common sense. :patsch:lol::lol:
