          That's probably where Roy would make sure he won comfortably in their primes, inside. He was so fast and so good with his punches at close range, even in this terrible fight he did well against Hopkins there.

          It's one of the most impressive things Roy did against Toney, maybe the most impressive, was how he was masterful at close range.

            I bought this fight, can't believe you could watch this fight more than once. This fight set boxing back big time, 2 fighters that looked and acted their age, instead of showing their skill. It was even worse than Roy's 3rd fight with Tarver.
            I think I would have fallen asleep if I ever watched it again, I fell asleep watching Wlad vs Haye (what a letdown after all of Haye's mouth).

              That's what makes watching these fight so much tougher...you always see those glimpses, maybe it only lasts a round, or 30 seconds, or just a flurry...

              I'm only old enough to have watched one full generation of fighters from the 90s fade out and it's still hard watching the ones who are still around fade off like they do!! but damm, I still watch every time for those small moments that u are talking about

                I dug up the 1st fight and watched that. The second one never happened!!
