Will we ever see a fighter as dominant as RJJ again?

    I'm not dis*****g the athleticism and skill. Just the pace is a little baseball-ish for me.

      Watch Jones vs Richard Hall highlights to get an idea of what I mean. Or jones vs Malinga. Or Jones vs Clinton Woods. He was a goddamn BEAST in his prime.

        You must have been in prison for the last decade or so. Let me bring you up to speed.

          Bro the PED thing was really weak on evidence. He tested positive for androstenedione. He claimed to be taking Ripped Fuel and at the time there was lots of contaminated Ripped Fuel(Twinlabs offered both products). So I give the guy the benefit of doubt. Not to mention, Androstenedione effects were VERY VERY weak. To see ANY effect, he would've had to be taking a huge amount of it. If he was gonna use something, Andro would not be the one to take.

                  I doubt it. At least for this generation. RJJ was, IMO, the greatest fighter to ever lace on a pair of gloves. I'd pick him against anyone all time P4P.

                    Barely any of his fights resemble this one. This one was a tad ugly. Jones' fights were typically entertaining. But he was so dominant and consistent that I think even he got bored.

                      Unpopular opinion: Head to head and prime for prime, I think Roy beats anybody in history from 160-175.
