    Love Roy, but by no means was he the ultimate boxer.
    Ali was not a perfect boxer either but he the greatest heavyweight champion ever.

    Roy was breathtaking and showed a great athlete can beat a great boxer(s) Toney and Hopkins.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    You're right, Ali wasn't a perfect boxer, but we found out once he athleticism faded about his mental and physical toughness, if not boxer... he was a near perfect 'fighter'

    There will always be guys who think they can duplicate another's style but what made Jones special was reflex, instinct and athletic speed in buckets, but he wasn't perfect in fundamentals and unfortunately he could not master a second skin-adapt when it all caught up. He's training Jessie Vargas now and on the Manny v Algeiri undercard he looked like he had bulked up..was trying to emulate Roy to the T in the late rounds.

    Roy Jones Jr.

    A 'special' boxer, but his Star faded fast.
