    As much as I would have LOVED to have seen RJJ take on: Benn/Eubank/Collins....he would have flattened every last one of them. Roy was quicker than everyone else, he was more powerful than everyone else, and he did everything better than anyone else IN HIS ERA of course. Did he not take very many risks? Sure he COULD have flown overseas but why risk it when you see what he got by playing it safe? Yes it gyps the fans out of fights but RJJ created an aura about his skills and ability and it's bigger than any of those guys you mentioned

    Now in hindsight I really wish Bernard Hopkins and James Toney fought Benn/Eubank/Collins. Those would be more even and I think the Toney-Benn styles really mesh well the same with Hopkins and Collins....although Bernard's style doesn't really mesh with anybody's.

    Roy Jones would have beaten Benn, but if he landed that punch Jones would have been KOed like he was against Tarver.

    Roy would have had a better time against Eubanks who could not deal with counter punchers but his best chance was when he was still hungry when he beat Benn in the first fight.

    Roy Jones handily beat Toney and Hopkins and achieved more in boxing than Benn and Eubanks.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
