Yes i know but it wasn't only in the 1st Tarver fight he looked nothing like the old Roy Jones after Balco scandal, thats why i want more information on it before i make my mind up.
You also have to understand that Jones was in his mid 30's...and I don't care who you are to put on and then take off 20+ lbs of muscle in less then a yr takes its toll on the body....Also it was so evident on Jones because Roy was never a guy that relied on the normal boxing...EG a Barrera, Lewis or DLH style kind of way....Where he worked off the jab and kept his hands up for defense...Jones always relied on his natural ability...so it was just more apparent then anything....

Reguardless though....The amount of time Jones was said to be using balco was really not long enough to have much of an effect on him...it was very very short term
