    You are dealing with someone who can only think in binary code.
    There is no " human " element to factor in when making comparisons, hence all the video clips he relies on.

    I think that the John Conteh of the Jorge Ahumada fight on Oct 1 1974 would be very troublesome for Roy Jones Jr.

    But as I have said before, prime Bob Foster would have beaten prime Roy Jones Jr. Foster was champion from 1968- 1974. He had longevity on his side.

    Foster had height and reach on Roy plus ridiculous power. He always looked bad against the Heavyweights because all his advantages were nullified. At Light Heavy he was a monster.
