Prime RJJ's weaknesses.

I've heard people say prime RJJ was one of the best fighters ever, and nearly unbeatable. But, did he have any weaknesses?

I see the theme, mate lol..

Of course he had weaknesses ffs. Chin being one of them

Ali was also a naturally talented freak with limited technical skills.

No body shot ability and I mean, NONE!

He was so athletic, and cat like reflexes, it was almost impossible to capitalize on any fundamental weakness.

I watched roy's whole career, and always thought the only way to beat him was to tag that chin.. You weren't going to outpoint him, he wasn't gassing, the only way was to catch him. Nobody ever did, but i think that was his one weakness that could be exploited..

Would have loved to seen how roy handled getting caught flush by Mccellan or someone like that..

he was so good that everyone thought he was in a weak division, when really it was very very strong.

People have this misconception that if you dont have a few close fights that you are in a weak division, they some how think that supreme dominance doesnt exist. They are wrong

RJJ is p4p GOAT Fact

I haven't watched enough to make a top 10 list.

It doesn't matter, because P4P is subjective.

I wouldn't say his divisions were strong..

while 160-168 were deep at the time, he only fought one top guy in each division.. Hopkins at 160, toney at 168.. The rest of his time were against no-hopers...
His light heavy reign was good and long, but not really a super strong division.. Guys like lou del valle, old faded jr mid reggie, a 42 year old jr mid mccallum were the champs.. Not exactly a murderers row and nowhere near as talented as the late 70s-early 80s light heavy division.. I think the current light heavy division is better with kovolev, ward, adonis, beterbiev,pascal, hopkins, fanfara, barrera, etc...
