    Johnson also knows this is his chance to make a name for himself.

    its an interesting fight.
    Too true. I hope we see the old Roy in all honesty. I admire his talents in the ring, they were very unique. He has made good fighters look like fools for years.

      if Im honest while I can appreciate his skills the roids thing ruined it for me, totally swept under the carpet. I cant bring myself to support him.

        Steroid? I thought that was all myth, i know fighters take certain things to aid their performance but do you think Roy was on the real thing?

          He And Hall Tested Positive.

          So vargas gets banned, but Roy gets off,

          Unjust I would say.

          Call it rip fuel what you want, its all rather su****ious.
          But eff all was made of it.

          Personally yes I think he was juicing but thats just my opinion I wasnt there so nothing is for sure!

          You know he has been an idol to so many people I dunno, i dont want to give a great fighter bad press, but for me it just tarnished his legacy.

          At the end of the day theres probably ten out of my top 20 fighters who are doing this or that, that they shouldnt so who am I to judge? I can only give my take on it to be honest.

          With or wothout roids he has been a great servant to the sport so I dont like to be too hard line.

            Thats bad to hear, no wonder he was always super human. How many professional sportsman can play basketball before a boxing match. All that kind of stuff smells fishy now.

            Bernard has always been an inspiration of mine as a fellow fighter with his dedicated training techniques, he's all natural.

                Listen...

                Roy Jones' was gifted by nature.
                Anyone who saw him in the '88 Olympics could see he was a freak in terms of talent....& he wasn't ROYding back then.

                For the last time- Steroids don't make you a better fighter.

                  I can believe most top sportmans will have done it behind closed doors but i guess we will never find out. Hey do you remember the mysterious bottle in the Pryor-Arguello fight?

                    I can believe that he has natural talent, some people are born with it. He has always made his opponents look one-sided before Tarver, the Eric Lucas fight was cruel to watch. Call me dumb but what do steroids do?

                      I dont doubt that, and I agree with what you are saying roids with no talent means **** all.

                      What they do is assist your training regime and also your ability to recover from and train through injury.

                      I dont disagree with you Jones is a wonderful boxer Ive not said different but I do personally think he ws juicing to assist with training down to injury or wanting to bulk up to heavy.

                      thats just my opinion. No offence to anyone.
