    Lol please

    Prime Roy does what he wants in this era in any of those divisions. An absolute freak of nature.

    Expect lot's of easy wins, but then afterwards turned into NC's when the drugtests came in.

    How many shut outs did Roy actually win in his career? Seem to remember him losing rounds to Griffin and Hardin and struggled early on threw Dell Valle, plus Roy`s work-rate wasn`t that high which is why he wasn`t countered more.

    Jones eventually regained himself and by round nine, had taken a narrow lead on two of the judge's scorecards with scores of 77–75 and 76–75. The other judge, however, had Griffin ahead with a score of 76–75.

    Charlo hasn`t been in the ring with anything like Roy before, he`s far slower and has less power.

    Its not nostalgia, the guy was about as close to unbeatable as a fighter has even been in his prime 160-175 years. (1993-2003)

    He beat Toney, Hopkins, Johnson, Hill, with EASE.

    Beat a host of other legitimate title holders/challengers like Griffin, Harding, Gonzalez, Woods,Grant, Lucas, Malina without even being pushed.

    There a reason why people are still talking about Jones prime 20 years on.

    Virgil Hill had a GREAT jab. Didn't help him much against Roy.
