Watch that fight again...Roy was out on his feet and only the ropesand him leaning on johnson, kept him up in round 4 or five think. He recovered and threw a few hooks. Point is he was already getting hit too much before the knockout.
The entire time I kept saying "he's going to get knocked out again", He just didn't look right at all. I was actually in Memphis, Tn for that fight. Once I heard that his home was wrecked in the hurricane, then he drove from florida to tennessee for the fight, I knew he wasnt going to look good.

I watched that fight plenty of times, he was badly stunned once before the KO, but Johnson was landing 90% of his punches on Roy's gloves.

Big difference in their second fight. Jackson goes back to the ropes and G-Man threw a flurry of punches and later on connects with a body blow to finish with a KO win.

Around this time I think it would have been a very tough fight, I think Jones would have gone on to win by pts but you never know if McClellan had have touched him it could have been all over!
Re: Roy Jones Jnr V Gerald McClellan Circa 1994
I would favour RJJ at his absolute best. Gerald had massive power though, I have no doubt he is one of the hardest P4P punchers ever.
