    There is an overwhelmingly shocking lack of Roy Jones Jr in this thread.

    Jones Jr
    Walcott
    Charles
    Moore
    Duran
    Pep

    Just there on the spot without thinking, there's loads more.

    Roy had a bit of trouble feinting fighters like Malinga out of position though, Duran would have landed far more on Malinga early on than Jones did.

    Duran VS Palomino.

    This is THE feinting masterclass.

    Emile G. was darn good! Monzon said he was the ONLY fighter he ever fought that made him do things he DID NOT want to do.

    You never noticed that we're usually on the same page, Cec?

    To be fair, I probably noticed it just before you did! ;)

    You gotta be taking enough drugs to overdose an elephant if you are comparing favourably the super-middleweight version of Duran with the super middleweight version of Jones of 1993.

    No, Roy fought Malinga at 160, I`m talking about Duran at 160 in the early to mid 80`s.
