Nah, Roy wasnt defensively that good. Ever! His defence has always consisted of putting the earmuffs on and leaning on the ropes. Like he did with Bryant Brannon at super middle for the first round. That was in 96 and the first minute is an exact replica of how he now fights every fight. He has now slowed down so opponents dont fear him and just wail away hoping to Ko him. Nigel Ben wouldnt have relented, he was a much bigger puncher than Brannon and was much harder to catch because of his bobbing and weaving. It would have been a good fight.



He was fast and threw good combinations and that really was what his style was based on. He intimidated opponents who didnt really open up for fear of being caught.

Now, think about this. Which 2 super middleweights of the Ninties really didnt mind getting in hard fights and coming back from the bring to win spectacularly

You may say that Benn and Eubank never fought anyone as athletic as Jones but again, did Roy every fight anyone as aggressive and powerfull as Benn or as hard and determined as Eubank?
