    Canelo, Pacquiao and Holyfield.
    Canelo transformed his whole body. I was shocked when i saw some old clips of him, he looks like he mutated. Canelo is one of my favorite fighters at the moment but it is what it is.
    Pacquiao maintained his speed and punch output at higher weights in a way thats unheard of. Literally nobody else even Holyfield could keep his output and energy levels high with extra muscle.
    Holyfields success at HW is impossible without the extra muscle.
    The RJJ argument is stupid, in the fight he failed, his opponent Richard Hall failed as well and with higher levels. For a substance that wasnt actually banned back then, they only got "caught" because the state decided to test for something that wasnt widely banned yet.
    And RJJ schooled Hall really bad, so i doubt his abilityw as just from the roids since practically anyone could have been on(and should have been if it was effective and legal) back then

    This. You don't go from fighting a guy who is roughly Canelo-sized to stopping Iron Mike without "help".

    Holyfield imo. The guy started out as a lhw and was a skinny cruiser. As much as I like him, most of his success at heavyweight was because of roids.

    Whitaker and Tyson popped for cocaine, not steroids. Holyfield has never tested positive.

    It's got to be Roy. No two ways about it. Of that I am certain. Yeah, definitely. 100%. Hands down Roy. No doubt about it. C'mon, guys.. you know it's Roy. How could it not be? How is this even a question? Roy all the way.

    Roy was on more juice than the rest of them were combined

    Roy inspired them to juice

    He inspired entire generations of athletes who came after him to do the juice

    Roy's roosters and dogs were all on the juice too
