    I'm almost certain
    roys a legend of the sport, not hating on him just saying people are getting carried away on this thread. He fought a lot of bums, wasnt unbeatable. Tarver worked out how to deal with him, and weve seen roy get badly rocked by bum before. He'd have beaten ward but they'd have both lost to joe calzaghe in there primes.

      You still didn't answer the question

      How old are you and when did you officially start following the sport. Please be honorable and answer truthfully

          Prime RJJ steamrolls Joey Zags, I know it, even Joey knows it.

              Cool, so I was right. Thanks for the honesty.

              Point being is you weren't old enough and your brain wasn't fully developed enough to have followed Roy during his absolute prime.

              Youtube is great for viewing fights that you missed, but it's a totally different story when following as they happened. Take it from some of us that followed prime Roy since the 88 olympics

                    Roy Jones dominates Ward, late ko. James Toney also destroys Ward. If Ward tried that inside s**t with JT he would of been eaten alive by JT's supreme ability to fight in such close quarters.

                      Love the comments. Yeah you had to be there when Roy was fighting. You would expect the guy to dominate every round. Crazy.
