Was RJJ at 168lbs the most unbeatable fighter ever?

I'm sure Bill Miller said James had much less fire in his belly and ambition after the Jones fight and losing Jackie etc, didn't get it back til Jirov

 

I'd forgot he was still a fighter

 

Possibly. But he obviously wanted to try and avenge his disputed loss to Griffin, and he had too much respect for Mike to not take him seriously.

 

Yeah, he went out of the spotlight for a while. But he had the Griffin rematch just before he fought Mike for the last time.

The Griffin rematch brought him back into the picture.

 

The guy was an old man, a fatty.

 

It doesn’t matter.

He was still a world class fighter.

 

Not anymore. He was the best in the business from 84 to 87 and in 1990 once settled at his new weight. In the late nineties in his forties, no - not big, strong, fast, fit, young or powerful enough, legs and reflexes gone.

 

He’d just turned 40 when he fought Toney in his last fight.

He was still a top 10 rated LHW when Roy fought him.

 

Michael Nunn from 87 to Kalambay fight. Pre-cocaine.

 

Robinson welter
Duran lightweight
Ali about 1967

 

Monzon never looked unbeatable in the way that Roy did.

At 7:05 in the video, it looks like Pyatt clipped Collins on the side of the head with that right hook which caused Collins to stumble. The commentator stated "No that's also a stumble" to suggest the punch didn't connect. After watching the sequence several times, I'm convinced that right hook connected, just enough to cause Collins to stumble. What do you guys think?

 

What point are you trying to make?
