Roy Jones, pound-for-pound best 10 years ago, when it was announced he's gonna fight WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz, people are predicting Ruiz is gonna rough him up and beat him, the size difference and outweight by more than 30 pounds, Roy put on a sensational show, dominated the bigger man and everyone was hailing RJJ as the best ever, what happen next, Jones barely won over Tarver and got knockout twice the following year.
Manny Pacquiao, when he fought Miguel Cotto in 2009, Pacman is fighting someone more dangerous than Dela Hoya and Hatton, promoter Bob Arum even joke on Manny to stay away from Cotto in one of his post-fight interview before, Pacquiao had his most impressive victory against Cotto and lay a claim that Mayweather must fight him, but from there, Pacman has never scored a knockout win again, and could have lost to Marquez in their third fight in 2011.
Mayweather's last fight against Canelo, other than Pacquiao, Alvarez is viewed as the biggest threat to May's unbeaten record, and Floyd responded with yet another dazzling performance, just like Jones win over Ruiz and Pacquiao's win over Cotto, they turned a most satisfying win against opponents given a shot to beat them, and after their signature victory, were never the same again, will these give hope to Amir Khan fans if Khan gets to face Mayweather next year.
