A guy who was the worst heavyweight champ in the division who was stopped in record time by Tua?? Yeah good accomplishment.. Skills? The guy was fast but he did not try and excite. So he will go down as a rather boring fighter. Hearns wont. Hearns will live more in boxing history.
Yeah Hearns was exciting all right but he was KO'd by SRL, who wasn't half the great boxer Roy was, and was iced by Iran Barkley and Marvin Hagler. Roy Jones was damn exciting I dunno what you are talking bout. Ever see a guy put both hands behind his back then leap in with a left hook and knock down a world class LH? Roy did. Roy dominated a prime Toney, dropping him and showboating the whole time. Oh and the Virgil Hill who Tommy outboxed, yeah, Roy took him out in 4 with a wicked body shot. Come on! Roy was 10 times the fighter Taylor is, and won his titles legit, all four of em.
