    probably Wlad. Every now and again he could bust out the fireworks but he was mostly a study on how to shut a fight down and control it completely

    John Ruiz, Devin Haney. For a fighter like Roy he was boring at times. However Mayweather was exciting in my opinion.

    John Ruiz …I can’t think of an athlete in any sport…who accomplished so much with so little

    The irony of that…is that Roy Jones would coast in a lot of his fights ..because he didn’t feel the need to take unnecessary risks and unnecessary punishment…now here he is in 50’s still fighting…taking unnecessary risks and unnecessary punishment
