    He had a better defense than Roy, on the basis of him fighting Canelo Alvarez?

    It wouldn't surprise me if you had both GG and Canelo beating Roy at MW.

    The amount of rounds RJJ lost in his first 15 years as a pro is just amazingly small seeing how he had faced almost 20 ranked fighters and had about has many title fights. I don't know of any other fighter who can rival this.

    Yes, he didn't use his jab, yes, he leapt instead of stepping, yes, he didn't have a good guard or the chin tucked, but that doesn't change the reality that he was just ludicrously superior for about a decade.

    Hmmmmm......not sure? But he was P4P number 1 by ring 1996....you would think that should count for something!

    Big, but not Tyson big. But no one can compete with those, that's just not fair.

    Bob Foster, Michael Spinks, and Archie Moore. Possibly James Scott as well.

    Both Canelo and GGG would have landed far more shots on a fighter the level that Dell Valle was at when he dropped Jones in their sloppy bout and neither of them would have been droped by Dell Valle, plus they wouldn`t have got caufght flush by the punch Dell Valle landed that dropped Jones, he was wide open!
