    But Roy never fought guys 10 inches taller and he never bob and weaved so low to the ground. Who did Roy fight that was on par with the giants of heavyweights? John Ruiz is a ultra poor man's Trevor Berbick and Tyson made Berbick look stupid.

    Mike had the most talent at heavyweight, great fundamentals, underrated boxing skills. Id say hes the most gifted heavyweight. Wasnt the most athletic fighter.

    Gotta go with Jones. Mike was a beast in his own right too, though.

    Roy Jones in his prime was. People easily forget man... go watch his career highlights at least. Roy was a phenomenon unlike I've never seen before or now.

    How come all the big heavyweights sucked? Is it because they had no head movement like Tyson?

    But Roy had shitty head movement. That's why he got one punched Koed so many times? Like 10? If he had fought in the Tyson style of defense (Bob Nweave+ Peekaboo) he never would have been one punch koed.

    But is his particular style of defense and fighting tactic the best?

    Tell me you are trolling ? James Toney is so fat how the hell can he be athletic? Did you even see the Tyson vs Spinks fight?
