hmmm...... haven't read every page on this thread so i don't know if anyone has brought it up.
a lot of roy discussion lately......so i just remembered.
remember when there was discussions of buster-jones but roy's dad killed the deal.
imagine if roy had fought buster instead of holy. imagine how that would've changed the course of the division.
roy would've beat the buster that evander had koed. then roy would've fought evander afterwards? hmmm...... then maybe tyson?
RJJ vs B-HOP II
RJJ vs any heavyweight after RUIZ
roy vs. tyson.
i think he gets koed but he would have made $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!
then retire before losing to tarver. what could've been roy! what could've been!
i would favor erik to beat juanma yeah........not as easy as you say though......juanma could conceivably exploit morales' sometimes sloppy defense and plodding footwork...
oscar was waaay out of shape and out of his prime against sturm......but yeah winky would beat him fairly easy...its stilla fight i would love to watch...my 2 favorite fighters going at it.....
speaking of winky , what happened to the cartoon avatar?
i didn't even recognize you 'til i looked closer at the name. that was one of the most recognizable avs on here when i first jumped from esb to here.

i don't know...... erik was sometimes sloppy but i don't think juan could make him pay. he'll land punches but erik would walk right through it imo. erik is also longer and naturally stronger than juan imo. great fight though.
oscar was out of shape , the difference can be seen in his 2nd bout at 160 when he did better than i thought pre-liver punch of course.
winky is a bad matchup for oscar. it'd be good but i can just picture oscar with his energy wasting , ineffective flurries while winky stands there with his hands up not really getting hit and after oscar tires he'll eat a long jab......and another......and another 'til he tries to flurry again.
morales would've knocked him out. he couldn't dent erik's granite chin. he can't outbox erik like he did manny. even a few years ago erik woud've given juan a hard time. prime for prime at 126 erik no question. it'd be a great fight but juan would definitely lose.
oscar knew what he was doing by not fighting winky. he couldn't penetrate sturms hand's up defense how is he can do against winky's?

I agree...Plus if you watched their Olympic fight....Lewis got the better of Bowe...IMO with the way Lewis handled Bowe in the am. he didnt want any part of Bowe...It sucks for us fans thought because that had "Great Fight" written all over it.
boxers are too scared of losing nowadays. back in the days boxers didn't care it's how you lose and how you win NOT about the numbers.
brian nielsen was like 49-0 once for god's sake!!!
the fact bowe thought he'd lose probably played a part in the "negotiations"......
i bet you after seeing mccall and later rahman get lucky and starch lewis , made riddick question his decision to not fight him. i know people will say it's all about the money , politics or whatever. my personal opinion? bowe was scared of lewis.
shame. prime bowe was very talented and probably could've beat lennox. especially since lennox had yet to realize his one weakness , the average chin.

Somebody already stated...but for me I would say Lewis vs Bowe...That was going to be a good fight but for some strange reason Bowe didnt want any parts of Lewis.
