    No he did not, he took ripped fuel which is an over the counter supplement. Its a banned substance but its not a steroid and its not used for building muscle.

      No disrespect to SRL but no one remembers who was the first person to run the first sub-5-minute, they remeber the first sub-four-minute mile (roger bannister) Roy Jones jr went all the way from 154lb champion to heavyweight champion, SRL went to SMW. Like I said i dont mean any disrespect to SRL but if youre gonna hand out awards for someone going up in weight to win a title, Roy Jones Jr is the ONLY one to do what he did in the history of boxing.

        Roy Jones never won a title at 154.

          Roy Jones started his career at MIDDLEWEIGHT! Not Welterweight. So you are being disrespectful to SRL. Not only that, but Toney did the same thing Roy did. The only other fighter to do what SRL did from Welterweight, was Thomas Hearns I believe. He went up to Light Heavy against Virgil Hill. Remember him? He was a very good fighter.

            And it doesn't matter anyway Hearns started at Welterweight like Leonard and went up to Crusierweight whereas Leonard went to Super Middleweight.


            Who's talking about height? Mike Tyson was 5" 9 according to many sources and there are featherweights like Amagasa who are 5" 10. Hearns dwarfs him in terms of stature.

              What Jones did was impressive, but it was John Ruiz not Lennox Lewis, who was the lineal champion at the time.

                I stand corrected, but he fought at 154 and still went on to win the Heavyweight title. Still the only person to do so in the entire history of boxing.
                Thanks

                  How about Whitaker winning titles from 135 to 154?

                    Thats admirable, and I liked Sweet Pea, but floyd went from 130 to 154 and fought more champions than anyone in boxing and went Undefeated doing it, he took sweet pea's defensive style and took it to another level and made boxing fans appreciate that style, became the King of PPV #1-4 top PPV's maybe even top 5 and what he got paid in his last fight will probably never be broken in sales or his payday. Oh and a little nugget, floyd used to spar with sweet pea and get the best of him. But cong**** to any boxer that laces them up

                      Are you serious!? Floyd took Whitaker's style to another level?? Really? You don't know boxing, man. Between this post and the previous one about Roy out-doing SRL is down right "ignore list" worthy. You sound real ******. He used to get the best of Whitaker in sparring, ey? He made the fans appreciate his style? Floyd did all of this??? How old are you? Are you foreign? Matter of fact, you are going to the blocked list. I cannot deal with such ignorance on here any longer.
