    Just met Roy Jones Jr as he opened a gym in Liverpool...

    Guy was an absolute gent. Talked about some of his favourite boxers, his past and future fights.

    Said he's hoping to get David Haye at some point next year and that the hardest fight was Tarver due to him coming down in weight. Said that he was fighting more with himself than he was Tarver.

    Also said Toney had the toughest chin of anyone he fought

    Jones once said whilst commentating an early Barrera fight on HBO After Dark that Salvador Sanchez was one of his favorite fighters of all time. He liked him because he never changed his expression.

    Yeah he said he admired Salvador Sanchez and also Muhammed Ali for what he done inside and outside the ring. My mate recorded it so I'll get the 15minute video on Youtube. He even done a job on the speed bag.

    Was unreal
