    1. If Griffin was a 5'7 bum, what does that make Toney?

    2. Between 1988-2004 (154 lbs-205+), who did RJJ duck? If you say nobody, then that defeats your whole argument.

        benn, eubank, calzaghe (2002), hopkins rematch, Michalczewski, mclellan pre benn, steve collins

        and don't even say "oh he would've beat those bums" because he never stepped up to the plate, he would rather fight part timers and a 5'6 light weight named vinny paz.

          Jake Lamotta was a pretty good fighter believe it or not.

            True, but is it a far fetched statement to say if Lamotta can do it, so can Roy?

              Also, at 154 Roy wouldn't have been in his prime yet.

              Even though fantastic to see. He was still somewhat of green. And, not at his best weight-class. Really out growing 160 pretty quick. Let alone at 154.

              Just throwing that out there.

                Lamotta, an ATG MW, got the best of SRR 1 time out of 3. It's not like he whupped him.

                  Roy is obviously alot more athletically gifted and skilled than Jake Lamotta.

                  On the other hand, Jake is alot more proven at the weight and brings different yet just as problematic things to the table that Ray Robinson would have a hard time with.

                    I am of the belief these are the two most naturally gifted fighters to ever exist. What a spectacle it would be.
