    It hurts me to acknowledge Roy Jones Jr as a cheater.

    Lets face it he's a cheater, he's tested positive for steroids and that leaves me to ponder on his great pound for pound career.

    That was one fight and his opponent Richard Hall tested positive as well.

      A banned substance doesn't mean steroid.

      Roy is one of the GOAT, there is nothing to ponder. He never tested positive for steroids.

          He only tested positive in one fight. Roy Jones had a great career and there is nothing to question.

            It saddens me as well. And really puts a damper on his career IMO. I love Roy Jones and consider him one of the greatest but naturally you have to wonder how much that influenced his accomplishments. I forgot which magazine it was from around 1998-9 where they would ask four experts to pick the winner of a possible showdown (KO Magazine?). In that particular issue, the experts were asked who would win between Jones and either Hopkins or Michalczewski. Montell Griffin was one of them. I think he picked Jones and noted Jones' underrated strength. He then made a comment that Roy had really gotten big. He continued, "I don't know if he's lifting weights or something but he definitely got bigger." You could tell he believed something was amiss. There are many more who we may never know about.

                Well we can hope it was not steroids or any PEDs. Lots of stuff is banned, even marijuana is.
