    The best of all time

    Just watched griffin 1 & 2 again

    O.m,g roy was insanely skilled

    Tat second fight leaping left hook would have kod all non iron chinned hw boxers

    Ali vs jones at cruiser weight, both in their primes

    Omg

    That's a close fight

    Jones probably hits harder than ali
    And the leaping left hook his alis kryptonite

    Hey, the guys 45 yo and still giving it a go and being competitive vs the likes of Ledbedev, Glaszewski, and now Benmaklouf.

    So what if he loses a tough 9th rd TKO vs the likes of Ledbedev at 42 y/o. He got in there and gave the nearly unbeatable Ledbedev a helluva a fight for 9 rds. Even having several moments of his own in the fight.

    I wished Roy would made the move to CW directly after his win over Ruiz. I know the $$$ wouldnt have been there, but without the KO losses he suffered as a result of draining, he mighta made CW a more notable division sooner, and he may have gotten big names like Joe C and Borenard to chase him North for $$$ fights, and he mighta even gotten guys like Adamek to stay there to make $$$ fghts.

    Boxing is a much better game with Roy around it. I hope he can keep beating these Clevel guys, making a decent $$$ in their backyards and earning big bucks to expose posers on HBO.:D

    Still my personal favourite of all time. Hope he has one more national broadcasted fight left in Him to contest for a real title. Not this no name crap.

    Would be nice to see him get one last respectable win, and quit for good.... Even though ill openly admit to him being my personal fave, I haven't bothered to watch most of his fights in the past few years due to the heavy erosion of skills :/

    What's funny is how popular he is in Russia. Can someone explain this?

    Roy dosent have Merk or Roy SR in his corner, the fight looked kind of sad. I'm glad he won, I really like Roy.

    You only have to be a fan of boxing to appreciate RJJ, nationality doesn't and shouldn't come into it. For me, I always enjoyed watching his fights in his prime and liked him as a human being.

    ESB is, I know, extremely nationalistic for the most part and that is a real shame.

    Cool, now he can have a unification fight with the WBF champion Danie Venter. :roll:

    B/t/w, listening to the guy singing the U.S. national anthem before this fight, holy **** it's terrible. He sounds like he has down's syndrome.

    Roy is the biggest reason I'm a boxing fan

    Ali made me take notice of the sport
    Roy was the one who showed me what boxing was about
