Wouldn't last long if he goes for a guy like Wlad, plus he hasn't even moved up to 175

Joe doesnt have the reflexes of a Roy Jones, or the mass/power of a Toney to keep 220+ pound fighters off his back.

Man this guy is so overrated. He can be a HW champ? Hah!

**Nacho_Analstain** · 10-17-2006, 09:02 AM

well maybe champ is an over statment,but i think he could compete,im not even a big calzaghe fan 2 be honest,but the heavyweight division does need a spark so i thought i would ask oppinions

I've no desire to see him at HW. Him or Hopkins moving up would just make the division more of a joke than it is now. It was gimmicky as hell when Jones did it, especially with them chosing the weakest belt holder and then getting Nady to handle the fight to pretty much nail on Roy's victory. If these guys are going to do it, then go for the best in the division. That's the only way it would mean something to me.

Remeber, Jones and Toney used steroids to compete at HW.

Toney did test positive, but Toney made some valid points: he did test positive for nandrolone, but from what I heard that is a chemical or at least it shows up as nandrolone, that is used in some medicines for recovery from injury...Toney said it was medicine given to him from a Doctor, so I don't know...he never tested positive before, and it would be ****** to use a steroid like Nandrolone since it takes 12-18 months to get out of your system...then again, I think he did fire his weight-lifting trainers so...

And if you want to talk about injury, when you are in your 30's, you tend to get injured more because your horome levels are lower...and yes, you can get injured with steroids, but nandrolone is not usually one of them.

For Jones, how long ago was that test? and the other guy tested positive too...plus, I don't think they ever said exactly what chemical it was, if it was actually a steroid, or if he just failed the "Drug Test" based on an alien substance in his system.

Man, your VERY naive if you think Jones wasn't always, absolutely, juiced up to the gills.

99% of people (ie naive idiots) would be shocked at the high use of chemical assistance in professional sport. Everybody uses these days. In boxing terms it's the American's, especially this generation and the next.

It's easy to say everybody uses, but you need proof

So what is Joe on again?

Lennox was on ?

I would like to know what each person is on and when they started to use

Did Ricky Hatton use steroids to beat Tszyu? He did seem to get stronger, and he is training with Kerry Kayes, who I think did train bodybuilders, like Dorian Yates.

Tyson was injected at 13?

Wayne Rooney?
