    ???? I think Roy needed Joe.... at the very best, they needed each other equally.

It's ridiculous to suggest otherwise, when your top dog no matter how you got there, loads of people want to fight you. Did Roy do enough, well he had 3 fights to slowly get him back up in the rankings and looking better, but Reed's right it was also his previous stuff and legend, name that made the fight.

        Nard was the #1 guy he'd already beaten, Chad doesn't bring much money or anything really, and Johnson just got beat by him and same applies.

        It was, what it was.
        I wasn't talking about their current status as fighters. I am talking the period where they "avoided" each other.

                Fact is, if Roy was as good as he was in his Prime. Calzaghe would not have faced him.

                He had his chance in 2001 but he never took it. His own loss

                    I read Reed's response and thought so, then read your opening post again. You don't make that clear at all, in fact everything suggests it was on actual events.

                    Anyways despite that sorry for such a response but that was the reason. If your going to talk retrospectively then it might help if you actually state that and also narrow down exactly when in history?

                    When Roy was at MW, when Roy briefly visited SMW, when Roy was at LHW?

                      Are these people ******ed? Charlie Zelenoff could get a shot at the current Jones.
