Some haters wont be happy until both of them are walknig around shaking & cant talk for themselves.
    I am a Roy fan but how someone can say his career never left a bit to be desired is quite a strange comment to make

    Benn ,Eubank ,Collins,Darius ,etc he clearly could have enhanced his legacy quite considerably with Victories of these oponents

    he found time to beat Hall & Frazier ,WAKEY WAKEY Mate

      Both have good resumes, but the deal breaker here is that Roy was always fun to watch as the talented unearthly fighter that he was who had KO power in both hands, whereas Floyd is not nearly as entertaining. Great fighter, but not as fun to watch.

          Thats your opinion. I respect it. You feel like Roy left something to be desired. I fell like he had an exceptional HOF career & Im not a big RJ fan.

            Technically Roy lost to Montel Griffin also. LOL

              Had Griffin retired after that DQ win he would be known as one of the greatest of all time.

                      i dont buy it these fights would have happened if Roy really wanted them to ,Roy was happy to be recogniseed as p4p & still make a **** load of money & fight his mandatorys

                      that is why he is great but not as great as he could have been ,Floyd will retire with the same credentials IMO
