Can someone tell me why RJJ is such an attraction? I've never been a fan, i know about him. But why is RJJ made out to be something supreme?

.Only the second ever man to be win the Middlweight Crown and then go on to win a Heavyweight title. (Other fighter being Bob Fitzsimons)
.4 weight wolrd Champion.
.Olympic Silver Medalist but in reality a gold medalist because a fixed fight cost him in which there was no dout he won.
.At one point was P4P best fighter in the world.
.In his prime took people breath away with unique but breathtaking way of fighitng.
.His best wins come over Hopkins, Toney, Hill, McCallum, Hill, Ruiz, Tarver,Trinidad. Also beat other good fighters.

Only downpoint was will be getting rembered as a caution fighter, not taking enough risks.

Roy beats everyone above him on the list except Ali, Forman, Holmes, and maybe Dempsey and Sugar Ray.
