      Great Article......but Roy Jones Jr needs to fight The Executioner on a ppv co main event and I guarantee that ppv would sell like hotcakes....with dennis miller as one of the commentators

        Would be an amazing fight

        I consider Ward elite and Kov a very good fighter but if the Stone Cold Krusher beats Ward in pure win or epic fashion then I'll consider him elite!

        I expect Prime RJJR taking both out!

        He'll take Kov out early since he'll be the most dangerous of the 2 solid champions!

        Ward will be a methodical fight for Roy but he'll eventually get to him but I expect SOG to survive!..

        Ward takes a very wide decision loss as he stays on lock down defense mode after being decked HARD in the 6th!

        He KO's Supes cold out in the 3rd after figuring out all his routines and tendencies for when he tries to set up the Nuclear Left!

        RJJR was just cut from a different level!

          Has Roy been smothered before? The only time I remember is in his later years against Calzaghe and Roy looked lost when Joe had him against the ropes.

              He didn't use steroids. He bought an over the counter product at GMC and explained the situation and it was dropped when they determined Hall had measured for a banned substance.

                Exactly! Roy was over the hill when he was stopped. It happens to the best of them. He took shots all the way back from Gerald McLellen all the way through Toney and Hopkins and proved to have a solid chin in his prime.

                  From punchers in the AM's through Hopkins and Toney and others, he proved a solid chin. You don't get hit with THOUSANDS plus punches from when you are 12 years old to the AM's through the Pros well into your 30's without being stopped if you have a glass chin.

                    Jones was CLEARLY on a different level than Ward and Kov.

                      Glen Johnson smothered RJ on the ropes all night long in their fight. I can never forget Manny Steward saying throughout the fight how Johnson looked so amateur. He thought Johnson was wasting energy and nothing was connecting....but Jones was slowly being worn down and beat, right up to the point when he was finally KO'd.
