    THE TRUTH: roy>bernard , bernard>joe , roy>>>>>>antonio , bernard>>>>>>antonio , joe>antonio , roy>>>joe

      If Roy has a single regret in his career, it's fighting Glen Johnson just four months after getting knocked out by Tarver. Most fighters would come back much later after a brutal knockout, but HBO's forced Roy's hand a bit in claiming the Sep 24 date was the only one available.

      Considering what the win at heavyweight meant for his legacy, as well as the payday that came along with it, I seriously doubt Roy regrets making the move.

        the guy on your av is underrated.

        magic man is overrated.

            the greatest trick magic man ever performed was convincing the boxing world that he was an elite fighter.
            he should have been in THE PRESTIGE instead of ROCKY

              I agree. You can't really use this logic, as it is flawed...

              I don't think Jones regrets going to HW. Even though he lost twice by KO when he moved back down, that doesn't diminish his accomplishments that he achieved throughout his career. Historically speaking, almost all of the great fighters have lost by KO late in their careers. Just an unfortunate part of the game.
