Roy fought 4 times in 1996 and 3 times in 1998, so are you saying he needs a vacation after a quick workout (one round KO of Griffin)

And i've like Roy Jones rivalry with James Toney that they fought so many common opponents, from Sosa to Reggie Johnson, McCallum, Thormton, Griffin and even years later.

thats why Nunn would be a good name to his resume.

Okay thanks. I guess Roy was one of the few big names in the light heavyweight division then. I used to hear very little about it at the time, heard more about heavyweights, middleweights, some welters and lower weight classes too. Plus the guy did become undisputed and Ring light heavyweight champion.

You say it was a quick workout but I guarantee you Roy trained like a mad man for that fight. Just because he might have done it before to expect Roy to fight 3x legit title fights in 7 months is just silly

Did I say Roy must fought 3x in 7 months, backread and use common sense before posting, read it carefully, Jones fought Griffin in August 1997 and his next fight against Virgil Hill was in April 1998, he could defend against Michael Nunn around December of '97, I didnt said RJJ must fought 3 opponents at that period, only Michael Nunn.
