Boxing skills>athleticism - Roy was never must watch for me

Roy's skills were more essential to his success than his athleticism. He's much watch for anyone who can recognize and appreciate skill.

Being athletic in boxing is important but overrated. Berto, Broner, Khan, Gamboa, Gary Russel Jr., Tim Bradley, Devon Alexander all had incredible athletic attributes but lacked the skills, ring IQ, and timing to maintain an elite level. Khan is probably twice the athlete Garcia is, look what happened.
