    1) Roberto Duran 2) Sugar Ray Leonard 3) Muhammad Ali. If the timespan had been forty five years,Ali would have been top. It says a lot for him that I still have him at no.3. His resume circa 1970-75 is that strong,that I could n't have scored him any lower.

    no, I'm not kidding. Roy has all the guns and the speed. probably the greatest body puncher the world has ever seen. Numerous time I have seen Roy drop a man with a SINGLE body blow. How is that for effectiveness?

    Ever check out the Hill fight? That pain is for real

    and this talk of Roy never meeting anyone is bull****. Roy dont have to duck anyone of sucj low caliber as DM or Steve Collins

    That's just a laugh :lol:

    Why didnt Roy refuse to meet Toney in their big matchup? That along with his win over Hopkins (broken hand + weight drained) gives even more proof that Roy is among the elite-well above the Canzoneri's, the Ross's, and the George Dixon's of the world.

    You cant just be ONE of the better fighters of your generation, you got to STAND OUT the way Jack Johnson did or Ali or Robinson, people like that and the truth of the matter is Roy has skills most others don't. He was a freak of nature, that's why he was so great
