Once his speed and reflexes left him Roy was Ko'ed and he is now desperately trying to develop some skills to help him through the remainder of his career.
So would you agree with people who are worried about RJJ actually beating Tito and getting back in the ring with a genuine world champ who could cause him some serious damage?

I agree that some fighters can lean on the skills better than others, and I'm not convinced that everyone can overcome the loss of speed and reflexes. Whether RJJ still has it in him to learn those, we'll see over the coming year.
