    Never seen that said in my time here

    At worst I've seen people say he isn't a heavyweight puncher (which he isn't) but he isn't underrated

    Whoever said that must think you need to hit like Tua or you're feather fisted. They're a rare breed but they exist and pop up every now and then.

    Been on here for 12 years and don’t think I have heard a credible poster say this yet?

    Well Julian Jackson went the distance with Thomas Tate. Close fight tough fight.

    I think Roy Jones KOd Tate at the hotel.

    Roy is the best offensive fighter ever and is on the short list of the short list of greatest punchers ever. True 1HKO power in both hands.

    Stopped numerous guys who were peoven as basically unstoppable

    Woods
    Sosa
    Malinga
    Tate
    Hill
    Thornton

    I've never seen anyone write that here, and I've been a member since 1932.

    I’ve literally read every post that has ever been posted here since 1980 and that’s the first time that I’ve heard anyone mention that.

    I swear I made a post about RJJ's punching power and someone replied to me that he was not a big puncher. I think it was Wass
