Great fighter yes but that is over playing it especially when you consider what went on with Roy from Tony - Tarver and the "ripped fuel" thing.
Was a great but not the best athlete in boxing history.
Leonard and Oscar looked human because of who they were fighting......... now who was Roy fighting when you made that assumption? i rest my case.
Ok so who had better athletic gifts than Roy Jones? WHo could play a semi pro basketball game and then dominate an opponent 12 rounds the same night? Hit a guy with 4 left hooks in a second? Whip guys WITHOUT using a jab?
There was no better athlete in boxing that Roy Jones, simply put he was a freak of nature and there will never be a guy who can do the things he could in the ring.
