    Man...Seriously, I don't want anyone to think RJJ hasn't accomplished enoigh because he did. There is alot of smart posters who think RJJ has a better resume then B-Hop which I disagree but if that can be debated then RJJ is GREAT regardless of what anyone says.

    Another thing, people need to understand that RJJ type fighters don't last long. Look at SRL for example

      Well Roy lasted 14 years so he did great.

      I wasn't directing this thread at you. I just heard this and posted it for people that don't know.

        Good point bro. Fighters that rely heavily on speed and reflexes usually are the fastest to deteriorate. It is why, for instance, BHop as achieved such longevity.

          Wonder why that's not been taken up some more..! good point! Watching RJJ make a fool out of Toney, Hopkins and Ruiz .. If i was an absolute top fighter like Nigel Benn .. Well, I would also have been thinking twice before climbing into a ring with Roy in those days!
