    Johnson was pretty much done by the time Roy got to him, and I thought Roy looked better in quite a few other performances. His performance in this fight is a tad overrated IMO. Not as sharp or as nimble on his toes as he was against Paz, Toney, etc.

    The Pazienza fight was his most impressive, though the quality of the opponent has to be taken into consideration. I'll take the Toney fight over the Johnson fight easily.

    it always makes me laugh when people compare PBF to Jones

    sorry to bing Mayweather up but the way Lampley introduced Roy Jones made me realise that those words could never be applied to Floyd Jr, not even close

    Against Clinton Woods. He looked simply unstoppable there.

    my problem with the Johnson is that Jones coasted to a UD when had he pressed the action Johnson would be koed.

    I thought Roy looked great against Richard Hall. His accuracy was off the charts in this fight, and even against a busy guy like Hall, he didn't get hit clean much.
