    You idiot. He's not going to enter the ring with 7lbs extra bodyfat!

    He's near fighting weight within two weeks of camp, and during the Tszyu camp had to force-feed himself seven meals a day to actually keep the weight on! These were all-carb meals, with just extra protein shakes to keep the protein up.

      But for how long? You see his face? Those aren't ******* comments, those are the scars and signs of a brutal career. He's 40+ fights deep already, and they have been 40+ wars.

          As a sidenote, Richard Hall wasn't the cop if that's what the little smiley is referring to. That was Frazier.

          Hopkins was a B opponent when Roy fought him and Toney was an A. Found it odd how some people were rating Hopkins high and Toney low.

            You saw the worst of Toney and the best of Jones. Toney ate himself out of the fight with Jones.

              It's no secret that boxers with Hattons Style have relatively short careers, but Hatton still has enough left in the tank for at least a couple more defining fights, providing he gets them of course.

                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?
                I do, but that's not answering the question. That's like saying Amir Khan's opponents are As because of what he does to them. To reiterate: I'm not asking about the PERFORMANCE, I'm asking about the opponent.

                  Don't name-call, Juice, that's why I put you on block. Block's not active at the moment anyway, but I took you off it cos I thought you'd be good.

                    With Futch, he put abit of a schooling on Jones.
                    Futch made absolutly no difference.
                    It was only one fight, and Jones knocked out Griffen in the first fight.
