Roy Jones's prime competition... exactly how good was it?

[Mr. Ryan]

Most people couldn't put 7lbs of muscle on in a lifetime, let alone five or six weeks!

At the end of the day, Collazo had free hits for 12 rounds and still lost. No offense to the guy, I expect he's a nice guy and all that, but he was fighting a guy who had zero speed and zero sharpness on the night..

I can put on 7 pounds of muscle in a month if I had to, but everyone's body is different.

That was the worst I ever saw Hatton.

[Easy-E]

Hopkins and Toney weren't A class fighters when they fought Roy, Geoff.

Ruiz was definately higher than D, and Julio Gonzalez wasn't D when he fought Roy either.

They were absolutly A's when Roy fought them.
And Ruiz is an A, easily.
Julio and Clintion Woods are both B's.
I think you also have to factor in not only did Roy beat these guys, he absolutly dominated them.
Like that makes knocking out montell griffen out in 1 an A.
Catch my drift?

Not without the aid of a conditionist/nutritionist, and even then anybody would struggle. And bare in mind Hatton already had muscle.

[Easy-E]

That's alot of time to add weight on. I don't think he put it on properly though.

Hatton had absolutly no trouble putting the pounds on. He has gone up to 180 between fights before.

But Griffin got rid of Eddie Futch after the first fight..

With Futch, he put abit of a schooling on Jones.

Lift weights and eat alot, it's not that hard. Of course I've used creatine in the past, which helps alot.

Thats what Im thinking, he was fat before so he just took off less weight.

There is a difference between muscle and fat

I'm talking pure muscle, I'm not talking fat.

I'm talking pure muscle during boxing training.

Collazo has made a name for himself by giving Hatton trouble, and all the best to him, but Hatton will go down in history as a two weight world champ and the rest is to be continued.
