    Is RJJ making weight safely?

    In ten days Roy Jones Jr will have to make a weight he hasnt hit in over ten years, does anyone know if any commission has recorded the fighters weights during training and who thinks it will be a crucial factor in the fight?

      I mean Roy hasnt got the best punch resistance in the world and thats the thing that usually suffers when weight drained, Tito always could dig

        RJJ is natural at that weight. It was only the steroids that allowed him to go so high up the ladder. He stopped growing a lot longer than 10 years ago, thats for sure.

          It still gets harder to make weight as you get older especially if you havnt been that weight in over ten years. Also i'd like someone to be able to clarify what type of steroid Roy used, ar'nt there many types? Not all steroids bulk you up, some do the opposite

                175 is one thing, but 170 is another...it'd be like making 168 all over again

                I personally believe he's struggling, but it's just my opinion
