i would say DLH...RJJ got a solid resume too though
Who has the more tougher resume, DLH or RJJ?

I just think these are two great fighters from the same era but Roy looks destined to go down as the better fighter despite the fact that Oscar took on all comers and inevitably lost some. Roy didn't really fight anyone and once he did he got KTFO.
That makes it sound like I don't think Roy was as good as he looked - I do, I just wish (as a Roy fan) that he'd fought tougher opposition.Comment

Completely looking past the fact he came down from HW, and the fact that he went 50 straight fights undefeated, from Middleweight to Heavyweight and back down to lightheavyweight, before getting knocked out at 35, would be outrageous.
And the only Disqualification, immediately rematched and avenged by a first round KO... Roy literally made history with his resume
Oscars opponent list is better than roys, but IMO roys achievments are better than oscars..Comment

So if that's the case then what about Calzaghe staying undefeated 11 years, defending his title 21 times, being undisputed champion at 168 and 175...?James Toney > Antonio Tarver...

But he (Calzaghe) didn't fight anyone and that's the problem I have with both fighters. Toney was severely weight drained. Roy's fault? No but it does tarnish the win. Hopkins chased a rematch for years once he became a better fighter and didn't get it, why? It would have been a huge fight but Roy didn't want it. IMO he's one of the most protected fighters in modern history.Comment
