[VirusTI]

See the resume is just bull**** way of looking at things...

I want you all that count him out of the top 20 p4p to name me 5 people,under 200BL, that you think would beat him in his prime.

[chinoy]

nope....barely coming in at 50.....

Hopkins was better...a lot better

SRL/Hagler
i dont think so
Hopkins is a better Middle than Hagler, and we saw what happened to hopkins when roy fought him. SRL... even less of a chance than Hagler, considering Hagler bet him(Yes he won).
I dont think Holy at Cruiser was as good as holy as heavy, thats why he moved up to heavy. His body was made for heavy not cruiser, kind of like David Haye.

But even if they might beat him, thats 5 people that you think MIGHT have a chance. We would be hard pressed to find a fighter that would be favored against roy. Thats why looking at things based a resume is ******.

Look at pac. Some of you are saying that he is already high up on the P4P ATG list, yet between 130-140 you can name alot of people that would be favored to beat him.
PFB by ud/ko,Kostya by ko, Shane Mosley by KO, ARchie, Pernel, JCC, and so on.Willie pep would make pac look like a little kid trying the speed bag for the first time, he just cant hit it....

No is not ******, just because you have the abuility to do something doesnt mean that you did it.

By your standar Zab Judah and Emmanuel Agustus are ATGs


You have to have the accomplishment, by beating quality people, to back up your skills!!!!!

[VirusTI]

There is a very big difference between Zab/Agustus and roy. Roy between the man who is a top 3 MW of all time, and beat a p4p number 2 fighter in toney. Not to mention going up to HW and beating ruiz.
He went undefeated from 154-HW , Zab did nothing close. Bad arguement.

[TheManchine]

No. He was great at avoiding challenges and taking no risks though.

[AKATheMack]

Skillwise most definitely. There will never be a fighter as athletically gifted as Roy in my lifetime. The man had insane speed and power behind that speed. SRL beating Roy? I can see ranking him higher ATG but Roy would demolish Ray in the ring. Speed is damn near even and Roy had much more power at 160 than Ray. I hear a lot of Roy only looked good against tomato cans but Ive never seen another fighter look that good and they all fight bums. Id be inclined to say Hagler wasnt big enough or fast enough to trouble Roy but Im not 100 on that. Michael Spinks wouldnt land a punch it would be a 12rd beating.
