    Good find. Roy was on top of the world. Not to sound prophetic or anything, but once in a while you see someone with the kind of talent and greatness that Roy had and you can see it in their eyes. Kind of like seeing the face of God in someone (how ever you interpret God). Roy had that look in his eyes. After the first Tarver fight, it was gone. It never came back. But Roy was special, a phenomenon.

    People forget it seems.

    First time I saw Roy Jones Jr fight I was amazed. Something special. He was unothordox but it worked better than any so called othordox. As a boxer RJJ was a superman athlete. There will be haters that will discredit him. But there is no athlete in boxing who was better than RJJ.

    Ward is awsome. I remember seeing him early on in a doco after 4 pro fights, you could clear as day see he was something special. He is fast and slick like RJJ type, but also does the simple things rights. If you want to learn, or show someone an example how to box then Andre Ward is the man. He is one slick G.

    Cool. But I am not surprised. Young American boxer goes to the fights and gets the chance to hold the champ's belt. Not big deal. He surely has come a long way.

    I remember first watching this fight a couple of years ago after Ward had already turned pro maybe a year before the tourey started and caught Ward holding Roy's belt.
