Sometimes I Wonder Why Did Roy Ever Waste His Time Fighting Fighters Like.....

[IMDAZED]

I still cant believe the way Nunn let his career get derailed the way it did. I think Joe Goosen is still cut up about it to this day

Liles really should of been much more active than he was 7 defenses in 5 years? Even the Pride of Wales was more active than that

. Liles was so talented that it's weird how his career progressed. And Nunn...I just don't get it.

If Roy had fought Collins Eubank Benn etc people would of complained about him fighting Euro bums

Lets say he fought Collins and Benn... and then left the division and never fought Toney... that would of been the biggest duck that could of happened because at the time in 94, Toney was one of the best fighters in the world.

That didn't happen, though.

Roy couldn't win with his critics regardless. He moves up to 168 and defeats the guy WORLD'S ahead of everyone else in the division and considered the best at 168 and his critics point to the lesser guys he didn't fight. He moves up to 175 and cleans it out and his critics point to the one guy in the division he didn't fight.

He should of got a shot at either Collins or even Calzaghe. He said the Collins fight was agreed on, but it never came off.

And Nunn...I just don't get it.

Even Nunn can't explain it. The Goosens say one day he just uppped and left. They got back together sometime after the Nunn-Liles fight and they all kind of agreed not to talk about it. Nunn has to be up there with Toney and Tyson for biggest underachievers.

You're being sarcastic right?

No. Both of them had the talent to do a whole lot more. After Jones, Toney would slowly disappear into obscurity until around 2002

Tyson was on the slide post Spinks and most of his post prison career is a waste

LOL they are both Hall of Famers

So what? Are you trying to tell me that the period from 95-2002 doesnt matter for Toney because he made the HOF? As for Tyson most of his career post Rooney is a joke, especially post prison. Back in the day they were talking about him going down in history as one of the greatest fighters of all time and retiring undefeated.

Co-sign. Both underachieved...in spite of their achievements.
