      Rj Power

      Roy was very quick and controlled and had what I call SHARP power. By that I mean he wasn't a BOMBER, like a Foreman type. RJ was the type that could hit you and you feel it like a ZAP. There are basically two kinds of 'punchers'... there are the BOOMING, HUGE punchers (like Foreman) and there are the fast and sharp, zapping ones like RJ, Hearns, etc.

        Where would you say Tyson's power fall between the two types you just described?

As for sparring I like to spar with anybody I can... amateurs, pros, top guys, champions, novices etc. I am up for most things that can happen in a ring
              Did you ever spar with Roy Jones Jr?

                  I never sparred Julian, No. The hardest one punch hitter I faced was probably LAMAR PARKS. And yea Tyson was probably a good mix of both types (good call on your part!!)

                    Kid Fire was one of my favs as I have told you before, when McClellan went to fight Benn his next fight was scheduled with Lamar...that would have been fun too watch-I loved Lamar but I was also real worried about him tangling with Gerald.

                    Crazy how Lamar Parks and Gerald McClellan were to square off and then they both gat tagged with seperate tradgedies, I still hurt over both mens departure from the sport!

                      You know, I had talked to Roy Jones Sr around that time and he had picked Lamar to beat Gerlad. Lamar was a better boxer-puncher and as heavy handed I believe.
