    Archie is undoubtedly greater, well, at least to me, but Roy's got that speed and athleticism that could befuddle an Archie that is boxing regularly and hasn't had time to really prepare for Roy.

    I'm thinking Archie either solves the puzzle through rounds 13 - 15 and lays him out cold or Roy just beats him to the punch and manages to stay off the ropes long enough for Archie to not be able to put him in a compromised position that he can exploit. It might be the case where Archie needs 1 or 2 fights against Roy to figure out the timing or lull him into a vulnerable moment where he just cracks his chin completely.

    Make no bones about it, once Archie cracks it, I think Roy's jaw shatters - nevertheless, Roy's chin wasn't the china we make it out to be, but neither was it Hagler, McCall, Chuvalo territory.

    Morrow catches Moore, Roy Jones catches Moore.

    Such a simple, shallow and biased game.........as usual.
