    Did Antonio Tarver only beat Roy because of the juice?

    Discuss! Could Antonio Tarver have permanently ruined RJJ because of the juice? Maybe that's why he won and Roy was never the same. We know the PED testing definitely wasn't up to snuff in those days. Thoughts???

      nah he beat him because RJJ never recovered from losing all that w8 to fight him, his body was shot after he cut w8.

          Two guys caught cheating at different points in their careers? Fair game. Tarver beat him because he jacked his jaw with a perfect shot.

            Pot kettle black, it's been well documented RJJs added weight and muscle to make the Heavyweight limit had been with the aid of PEDs as Victor Conte alluded to!

            People pointed to that as the reason why he didn't perform well against building up that weight then immediately losing it had a detrimental affect on him

              No he lost because he got caught with a perfectly timed counter shot.

                Roy lost because of a combination of his reflexes fading and losing all that weight from HW.

                  I think the fact PED's could only garner Tarver a draw vs Cunningham is an under appreciated aspect to this story. Horrible advertising for PEDs. Whoever supplied Tarver with this product should see a drastic reduction in business.
