    he wasnt scared to fight anybody, its not easy to get every fight he wanted.. you honestly think calzaghe woulda came to US ?

    besides roy at 168 was insane..
    Calzaghe would've come for the right money.
    Not some ridiculous 80/20 split.

      I personally think Roy win's but my opinion dont mean **** neither does your's Roy's career will alway's be based on these type of fantasical match up's because he did'nt alway's fight the best out there ,and that is why he is overated IMO cause people will use these type of analogy's to try & prove RJJ was a better fighter than SRL ,The difference is SRL showed us how great he was Roy showed us glimpses & im sad that i never saw the best of him because he is or was a tremendous fighter

      I Like the way u chose 160 BTW ,Leonard was a natural WW

          what do u want me to say Roy was a better fighter than SRL & would have beaten him so there for Roy should rank along side him

          my opinion does matter neither does yours, i thought Shane Mosley would beat Forrest as im sure u did

            Just tryin to make a point.. You make it out that roy fought nobody.. he fought guys who were top dawgs in the division at the time and dominated them as if they were nobodies..

              Roy fought good oposition but call me a bit fussy but when u claim to be the best u should continuely fight the best or look to prove yourself & not just try & make out that its them not me scenario

              Roy is a wasted talent IMO,great fighter dont get wrong but its like someone said earlier can u honestly say that u regret Roy not fighting certain fighters, if u are a Roy fan suerly u would love him to have fought against some of these guys that people clamoured for

                I think because of his skillz no matter what he did you wont give him the credit deserved.. the guy was 153 lbs when he made a debut as a pro.. Won titles in 4 weight divisions..

                went up 50 lbs from what he started his pro career at to win the heavyweight title..

                come on dude..

                anyways Im done with thise thread.. cong**** on all the points you got with making a thread...

                peace.

                  He didn't beat Lennox Lewis and neither did Ruiz so that statement is wrong

                      No you said he won the heavyweight title. He didn't. He beat someone that was a contender at best. Lennox Lewis was the heavyweight champion at the time.
