RJJ, i think he has a bad style for canelo. canelo is flat flooted and RJJ was very mobile, enjoyed that reach advantage and his speed will allow him to land despite canelos quick defense. canelo has gotten good at closing the distance and using pressure but this is RJJ and RJJ has enough pop to keep canelo cautious

In all my years of watching boxing I’ve never seen a better talent in their prime. RJJ in his prime beats anyone IMO

Canelo takes it better chin better skills.

I can't see an opponent that could make prime Roy sweat.
Nelo hasn't beaten anyone near RJJ's talent. One can say he's a bigger version of May.
Definitely not a knock against Nelo.

I saw Montell Griffin and Eric Harding give prime Roy some troubles

Meh.....

Tyson, the baddest man on the planet, had more than some trouble with Buster
Some constantly mention Chuck Wepner as almost killing Ali

Midget Conn gave it to Louis in the 1st fight
Mayorga gave Vernon the business 2x
Rahman and McCall > Lennox that 1 time

on and on

Pre HW RJJ > everyone, IMHO

you really need like a holyfield shrunk to 175 to beat roy, i think that would be a good style for him. hagler a good style but i dont think hagler was big enough at 160 to really pressure him. roy lost a few rounds to hopkins when being landed on towards the ropes. roy was just so fast though nothing hopkins could do he missed a lot. canelo has fast t rex arms and slow feet, hes been able to break down eurobums but prime RJJ is on another level to those guys, his mobility, handspeed, reach. canelo gets completely outboxed from a distance and roy has the power to keep canelo from just rushing in on him wrecklessly
