    I don't think Calzaghe would have had much of a chance against the 90's Roy.

    Yes, RJJ was the most athletic fighter in boxing history, but I don't think he would have excelled in other sports.

    So, I don't think he's the most athletic athlete ever. I would say Bo Jackson is more athletic.

    I think there's a difference between hand speed and athleticism.

    That lead uppercut that he took out Griffin with was awesome.

    Do they test in the Olympics? Or did that only start from '92 onwards?

    Roy covered some serious distance very quickly in the ring when he was in his prime.

    Hand-speed can't do that.
