    Virgil and Reggie Johnson very good wins

    One of Roy's many great moments.
    Making it look easy vs a class opponent.

    I heard this was the fight that wasn't shown in Germany to try and get Dariusz in the ring with RJJ.

    Watch the start of the Fight Virgil 177lbs
    He must have come in close to 200lbs

    Roy wasn't a big Lt. Heavy at all. One reason I think he gets overrated in head to head hypotheticals at the weight. Against the right opponents, anyway.

    That's what I was talking about Did not matter if u could out muscle Roy the power he had could hurt any man if hit clean plus the speed and combinations to make u pay over and over again

    Agree.

    Even at the age of 39 he did fight under the super middleweight limit against Trinidad.

    Roy was always the naturally smaller man fighting at lt heavy ..I think that fact alone gets very underratted imo his speed is what got people ..

    Hill was 177 and Jones was 176.5 I think

    The wbc didi not sanction this light heavy fight as Jones was "inrecess" so there was more free flow on the weight in

    Hill looked almost like a Giant look at his body mass compared to Jones ..Jones arms looked scrawny compared to Hill's
