Why haven’t we seen any new Boxers athletic as Roy Jones ?

Yeah 100%. I remember watching an interview with a doctor who was talking about how easy it is to avoid testing. He said if an athlete was to take a substance (can’t remember the exact one) via IV, testers would need to arrive within 4-6 hours for it to even be traceable.

I really became infatuated with the PED stuff after watching that Icarus doc.

PED’s is what I do for a living mate, been involved with them for 40+ years.

Any questions or anything like that you can message me any time.

Roys level of athleticism doesnt grow on trees. He was exceptional.



You're not being consistent here. You say the athletic requirements differ depending on the sport (which is true of course) but then disregard that when talking about boxing and MMA. Guys like Brock, Yoel Romero, Khabib, GSP, Fedor, Randleman etc etc couldnt box for **** but I dont think anyone would question their athleticism or fighting ability.

FWIW I do think boxers are still better athletes on average. Bigger talent pool etc.

Ah, but my statement spoke specifically to the assertion that MMA is syphoning talent away from Boxing.
Ergo, those in MMA from an accomplished grappling base don't factor. Full circle. Good post.
