I am not sure about Tyson. But I know Roy signed to fight Buster Douglas, but his dad came in and stongly insisted Roy back out, so he did.
Above average for sure.. I wouldn't call it iron though.
There were big talks of it after Roy beat Ruiz... And also after Roy beat Tarver.. I am not sure how close it was to getting done, but it went...
Also, the other guy in Ward's weight collecting all the belts would have to be P4P #1 to put in in a proper perspective. I would be pretty quick...
What do you think was the tougher weight IB? 1999-2003 LHW or JLHW?
It would depend on who the fighter was, but being as how Ward is rated as high as #2 Pound for Pound, it wouldn't be likely.. The Jones-DM case...
After that fight I viewed Hopkins as a very good fighter.. He had more sucess finding Jones with right hands than anyone would for years.
Yep.. DM could claim the belts all he wanted, but the fact of the matter is, Roy unified all of them, and they were around his waiste, and DM...
Hopkins' elite boxing skills were put on display against Roy Jones in 93.. Roy was a very popular fighter at that time due to the Olympics.
Anyone who wants to argue that Jones was not the man at LHW, and DM was the rightful owner of the ring belt, needs to also argue that Calzaghe was...
Is it not pretty much well known that DM turned down a double header on a card with Roy Jones here in America to help build up the fight?
:lol::rofl:good
Bailey, Around the time 1998-2002 would you call LHW tougher than SMW?
He wants to say no, but he is not sure if he can.:lol:
This would be a perfect example for me, that the true lineal champ isn't always the man in the division.
