    The guy was awesome in his prime. There are few people if any that could match him for speed. The guy was fast as lightning.

    Frankly, he will never get the respect he could have done if hed have picked up his level of competition a bit. He has been a great fighter, but I dont think history will look on him as being everything he could have been.

    No doubt RJJ had awesome skills in his prime, but i also tend to believe that a lot of what he could do was based on his opponents being so intimidated. They would get completely sucked out of their gameplan.

    I'm sure that tends to happen when you face a guy with his skills. I'm sure most guys would be tentative because of the fast counters.
