No one stops Hopkins or Toney so all he could do was comprehensively outclass them.
Roy was entertaining and brought excitement... when he wanted to.
He had a lot more power than Floyd in both hands, but he also did a fair bit of dancing and coasting in his career. The guy was a human highlight reel but that's over his whole career. He had his share of stinkers.
His first fight with Bhop was one of the worst title fights ever.
But even when he was throwing leather, he was never "banging". He was always defensively-minded and used his insane reflexes to avoid punches. Arturo Gatti "banged". Roy Jones was hardly ever hit clean in the first 15 years of his career.
