    Prime Roy vs savage punchers. That said, I can't think of any ''great fights'' that ended via HL reel KO1 which is exactly what would've happened had prime Roy (aka Roid) ever managed to summon the courage to step out of his glass jaw protection program.

    Funny, Bowe vs Lewis popped into my head before I clicked on the link. Bowe when motivated was a real good fighter that and the fact Lewis ultimately got knocked out a couple times could have made it interesting. I'm thinking around 1992 or 1993 would have been good.

    I guess I got a little carried away, but I could go on and on.
