Rjj was my all time favorite fighter, he was too good and made his competition look really bad in his prime it worked against him because people would call them bums after he beat them... even if they went on to win a title after... Its kinda like teh heavys today Vitaly and Wlad make the others look like bums when they dominate them and it works against them.
RJJ had the same problem that Hopkins had even more most of fighters he fought were B to C Level in terms of talent so they made for one sided fights that lacked drama:nono
How so look at Hagler the middleweights he fought were A level in terms talent Hopkins fought second raters the middles were a weak during title run:tong
