    Roy even says, he had everything to lose and nothing to gain. Back then no one in America knew how good Calz was. So if Roy beats him, we say it was another routine win against a picked opponent. If Roy by chance loses, we say our best fighter loses to someone we hardly knew.

    So you can't blame Roy for not chancing it with a guy his public, the ones who paid for his fights, didn't recognize for the threat we now realize he would have been.
    thats a pretty good post
