Tell me that THIS is not the MOST TALENTED fighter that has ever lived

I wonder how that fight vs Tyson would have turned out? RJJ vs Toney at heavyweight would have been nice and RJJ vs Holyfield at heavyweight would have also been nice.

Roy was a phenom who blinded with pure reflex,athleticism and instinct.Could have done well in other sports.But he was not the most talented and technically proficient fighter.He beat many who were better text book boxers than he with those qualities Toney,Hopkins,Johnson and granddaddy McCallum.I think Mayweather stands above as far as a skilled boxer.But Roy did not hesitate to close the distance and go for finish when he had a guy tenderized,the majority of the time.

I've always wondered that. I'm a Jones fan but i'm not delusional, Tyson in his prime would have destroyed Roy. But this was not prime Tyson, it was a Tyson that needed to get his opponent out quick or he just simply lost. I think my money would be on Tyson but I wouldn't have written Roy off!
