Whoa Roy fought a lot of good fighters people
THE GUY HAD LIKE 100 BELTS! LOL he didnt take belts from cans
Reggie Johnson, Otis Grant, Percy Haris, Clinton Woods, 1 win over Antonio Tarver, Glen Kelly, Montell Griffin all solid to good fighters
Bernard Hopkins, James Toney... LEGENDS and he didnt beat these guys when they were up and comers they were good when he beat them.
Movin up to HW and beatin John Ruiz is another milestone as well.

Hill owned the LHW division until he fought RJJ. He was the Recognized LHW champion, and Roy made him look like a amature. Hell I think a prime Virgil Hill would beat Antonio Tarver pretty easily.

I gotta post some RJJ clips
one where he hit the dude with 4 hooks back to back to back to back, the sickest combo and hardest to imitate as well
and the one where he went behind the guys back and then KO'd him! amazing!

Hell I think a prime Virgil Hill would beat Antonio Tarver pretty easily. | Wrong, Hill owned LHW untill he fought Dariusz Michalczewski. When RJJ got to him Virgin didn't have a single title nor was he linear champ.
I don't mean make a flame war here, I just don't think RJJ is on same level as SRL, neither skill- nor legacy-wise.

The early 90s, I was about 15 year old and I was watching RJJ before anyone new who he was, most people who hate on him never seen him fight in his prime because they were to young to remember or care. Most of my friends have never watched RJJ until he was in the LHW division but by that time he was slowly on a down slide. Like I said, I think he was arguably the best MW ever.
