    I mean, I DO rate the guy, but when I read stuff like "Roy was the greatest boxer of all time" I have to raise an eyebrow.

    Actually, I'd probably put Floyd above him.... agree/disagree?
    thanks. good talking with you aswell. I don't think hes the greatest of all time, its just not reasonable to say that. No knock on roy, just too many other greats in the history of this sport that had greater resumes.

    you could put floyd over roy, I'm not sure if i'd do it though.

        yeah but it was John Ruiz and Jay Nady broke it up anytime Ruiz got close which definately helped Roy alot

            Exactly, so people shouldn't talk about it on those terms. He fought A heavyweight, not a real champion.

            And I did agree it was impressive.

                        Complete rubbish. Ruiz was completely outclassed in there and had no idea what to do. The referee had nothing to do with it.

                            besides, nady is hated because he doesnt allow illegal ways of working in the clinch....maybe fighters should just learn how to fight inside properly.....

                            theres been plenty of good infighting in nady reffed fights.......you just need to do it legally......which ruiz cant do....his fault....
