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.
