    He was caught with something ilegal that was an ingredient of a sports suppliment.

    Wouldnt it be easy though to find a sports suppliment that has whatever cheaty drug you want to take and use that as an excuse after being found cheating?

    Most older men who get into a fix seem to do so cause their mind thinks like a 20 to 30 year old.( I am one I know of this stupidity well):
    The old neurons cant fire down the channels as fast anymore but we still think like they can. So our legs walk our heads into stuff we can no longer take as well and once there, cant fire fast enough to get us out of the situation as fast either so to survive we have to think differently. If you sit in a good paddock a few times or dont train naturally or use roids or play with your weight in any way after middle age you are probably going to slow down even faster than someone whos done nothing, so you will have to choose your future marks even more carefully and fight a different fight.
    Roy should of given up thinking about head hunting after he failed to catch a few of his chickens by hand.

    Jones never learned how to fight. With his ridiculous speed and God like athleticism he never had to. Muthafukkas don't really understand how many levels he was above everybody else in skills. He did everything wrong in the ring and got away with it. He played basketball in the day and the defended his title at night. He was that gifted. Jones should of retired after the Ruiz fight. He would of been considered one of the top 5 if he did. He should of never fought Tarver. Cuz he didn't have too. Tarver had a chance to fight Jones before but blew it when he lost to Eric Harding. So Jones didn't owe Tarver shit.

    Should've retired after the Ruiz fight and worked in promotion or commentary. The first Tarver fight saw the writing on the wall, that should've convinced him to finish and no rematch given. He was 34 when he first fought Tarver, what was the point of continuing? It's a been a sad decline ever since culminating in the embarrassment of the Green loss.

    Yeah Im Australian but a boxing fan first, it depressed me no end that he was fighting Green and I was devastated that he lost,Roy should never have given it a chance to happen.

    It was ripped fuel and its not a steroid. It was purchased over the counter at drug stores and he was only accused of using it once and it was in the Richard Hall fight. Of course the story spun out of control at the time because his accuser Richard Hall tested 14 times higher then Roy did for the same product.

    Roy should have quit after the Ruiz fight instead of tearing down muscle to make 175 at his age. Ego won the day just like it continues to do. I may rank fighters higher then him on weight lists but that's cause he never stayed long but even at those weights like 160 and 168 I dont see anyone in history beating him in his prime. Not many could match him at 175 either except maybe Langford or Charles.

    *well it does..and u herd it here first. anyone that say it doesn't if full of shit. boxers on steroids look like machines..unstoppable machines. just cuz it can't be proved doesn't mean it doesn't happen. if u want to keep believing JOnes wasn't on steroids..then fine... I know better. I know that u don't look unstoppable , ko'ing guys with ur hands behind ur back... then,all in a matter of 1 year, u have no power, ur a shadow of ur former self, u can't take a punch...even ko'ed in 1 round. I don't mean to challenge anyones boxing knowledge..BUT, u have to know something is going on, don't u?

    Produce the evidence. It should be everywhere or STFU already.

    On a side note good ole Victor used to play in Traffic. They came in pretty hot on stage sometimes and Victor on that Sax.....

    Cant see Foster getting to him but Spinks would be a tricky fight for him and the later version of Hopkins who kind of has the same style as Michael or shares many qualities.
