    just to be accurate that steroid case was proven false. he was tested for using something called ripped fuel...not a steroid but some over the counter supplement. if he tested positive he would have inccured penalties (just like what happened to vargas)...the boxing comission is not particularly lenient for substance abuse.

      Roy Jones ducked the elite of every division, and your success can't be measured by talent...
      james toney was regarded the best p4p at the middleweights...dehyrated, weight-loss or whatever you want to call it, roy took the fight...now he's taking a fight against a guy who gave him hell on their first fight and knocked him the **** out on the second...he doesn't need a third, he's got all the money in the world...yet this time he chased tarver.

          If you believe that Roy Jones wasn't juiced up to the gills then you must believe in the tooth fairy.

              I am not a hater of any fighter except Chris Byrd...

              I am not biased at all...

              You just got brainwashed by HBO...and the general public..

Give me a break. Benn, Eubank and McClellan punch much harder than those cats, and Jones' chin has been proven weak in his last couple of fights (the chin was always there!).

                Jones wrecked this adventure because he was too scared to fight these guys, if he wasn't too scared then why did he back out?
                yeah the chin was there, but no one could touch it.

                  I love The Truth references, all the Jones haters blame everything on Roy. Its kind of funny to me...

                    I dislike Byrd as well. To much boxing press builds him up way more than what he is, not as much HBO as some other press outlets. HBO thinks as I think that Vitali Klistchko is the best heavyweight.

                    People always ***** that Vitali is not fighting anybody. These people are probably aware but convienantaly forget that Don King is doing everything in his power to keep his heavyweight title holders away from Vitali Klistchko. Vitali should just have done with it and sign with King. Then he would get the fights with Ruiz,Byrd.
