    Good one, but I like Roy's speed here to frustrate COnteh, who was used to dictating the pace with his great athleticism and activity... he would be for once overmatched in those departments by Roy Jones and Jones had the power to keep him honest... I could see COnteh winning some rounds, but ultimately this is a 116-112 type of affair for Roy jones

    Yep that's how I see it Cdogg. Roy will have a fair few rough patches but should get the nod

    By the way, just wanted to point out that Conteh is the most underrated British fighter when it comes to praise from the British public. He never gets mentioned alongside great British fighters such as Benn and Eubank when he was, in my eyes, better than both.

    Would you also like to point out that he would have been the best British fighter Roy ever fought?

    Conteh was outstanding and I agree clearly better than Benn or Eubank... He just didn't stick around long enough to make a bigger mark... He was immensely talented
