    Trust me, I've been there.

    You must have had a double dose if you thought Tito could beat Roy


    I did, it was crazy. I was in my teens. And, Tito was the reason I loved boxing. You thought these extremist Pac fans and Floyd fans were bad? You should have seen me during this time.

    The way he just walked through 154 and Joppy had me thinking "he can pull this off". And, then the Hopkins fight came

    That fight made me a better fan though, it humbled me. It made me really do research not only styles but the history of the sport.

      Roy Jones Jr.

      A lot of people around here talk like he walked through scrubs. Well, they OBVIOUSLY weren't around when he beat the likes of Virgil Hill, James Toney, and Bernard Hopkins.

      And not only did he beat world-class opposition, he blew these guys out of the water!

      Roy was on another level all together.

      The only person I think who you could compare it to, would be pre-jail Mike Tyson.

        Yea Roy was insane. But he was also on peds. That's why he was so good. And boxing didn't do anything to punish him.

                  Never thought any one was unbeatable but there's 2 that have had me close to thinking it,

                  1. Michael Spinks and I hated him for it, I bet quite a bit of money against him simply because I didn't like him (****** reason I know), and every time he would completely dominate his opponent then came the Qawi fight and I bet against him again and after that I just thought what is the point ?, nobody is beating him, he beat most styles of a high tier and in a dominating fashion.
                  One of the best all rounded boxers I've ever seen and he has slowly grown into one of my favourites.

                  2. Holyfield at Cruiser.

                    Prime Kostya Tszyu had everything.

                    Speed, Power, Skills, Heart.

                    He was beast mode in the Olympics.

                      I had a friend in high school who went through the same thing. He was Puerto Rican and Trinidad events were a holiday. He talked so much crap before that fight, felt so bad for him. Luckily I was the only other boxing fan, none of our other friends cared, so I didn't rub it in.

                      I did rub it in when Winky won though, he talked so much sh**.
