    You might think I'm pretty ****** for saying this but, Mike Tyson would of been the perfect Heavyweight for Roy to fight in my opinion.

      Cosidering Roy wasn't a big puncher at Heavyweight, I feel that any form of Mike Tyson would have been all over Roy knowing this. Roy would to have dealt with Tyson's pressure for a large portion of the fight and I am not sure if he could have done that.

        Yeah but Mike was way past it at around 02-03, I really think he'd have a legit chance of winning. Tyson had lost everything that made him great at that point and Roy still had the footwork and skills to out-box Tyson + if he succeeded imagine how great they would look on his resume? "Beat Mike Tyson at Heavyweight by wide UD". How about Corrie Sanders?

          Yea that's a good one, after the Klitschko win. Roy could have unified against him and Byrd making him the WBA/WBO/IBF Heavweight Champion of the World.

            if roy fought lennox lewis at HW, or unifed the HW division after Lewis, then he would be a legit top 10 ATG.

                when would he have fought Calzaghe? Calzaghe didn't have a big name until 2006. Roy was done by '03
