Was Roy in his prime when he fought Eric Hardening?

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

I sparred Eric many, many round and believe me, he could PUNCH, despite having less than 10 KO's on his recrd...I was talking to a guy just the other day who did pads for him later in his career and he said Eric was the hardest puncher on the pads he had ever worked for

just going off the topic of the thread to answer the question.....

yes i think roy was in his prime them, but i also think that he was bored with boxing at that time. he had a bit of a time with harding, he was winning but he was getting hit and harding was making it a fight until he tore his bicep muscle............

but at that time in roys game i think he was on top for such a while that he was bored with fighting a little bit.........
