    Cool. Thanks. Enjoyed it. I'm leaving early in the morning for a few days, but I'll try to revisit this next week.

    I agree that RJ is better on the outside than Ray. RJJ is more smooth and creates better on the move than Ray. Still, ability wise, I don't think RJJ is so far above Ray that Roy won't be tested.

    I agree that Roy should never have to slug when he doesn't need to but IMO, Ray showed tons of character and heart to dig deep and slug with his eye closed against Hearns. I just can't see Roy coming in and slugging hard to win against a guy he can't just box.

    If Sugar Ray Robinson and Herbie Hide ever fought, it's likely that Herbie Hide would win, does that make him better?

    Which criticisms? That he was too good to be challenged, despite taking on all the best? Those are very different criticisms than the ones Jones received.

    Same Rodney who also says PBF would knock Leonard out cold in five rounds. That's right, five rounds. :nut

    Roy Jones is the best athlete to ever be in boxing, I think Leonard might have been a better fighter P4P though
