BERNARD FERNANDEZ ON GERALD McCLELLAN
There is absolutely no question in my mind
that the greatest challenge to Roy Jones Jr.'s domination would have been Gerald
McClellan, one of the hardest-hitting natural punchers I have ever seen. Jones-McClellan
could have been Hagler-Hearns all over again. Watching Jones toy with an overmatched
pretender like Rick Frazier again reminded me of how much Jones has missed by not having a
great opponent. The fact that Jones has worked to raise money for Gerald's medical bills
is as great an achievement as anything he has done in the ring. Certainly it's more
praiseworthy than his beating up on Rick Frazier.
