    Some think that this was the best LT.HEAVYWEIGHT fight of all time...think Roy Jones could have taken this kind of 1st round beating and come back like Moore did?...Nah...

    not a 44 yr old roy jones but durelle wasn't exactly a world beater. with that said, this is one of the greatest fights i've ever seen. the announcer, and his name slips my mind, was perfect in this fight. "has father time caught up with archie moore?" now i need to go watch this.
