My defense to that would be... Roy had more of a case as champion, as to who should come where to fight him.
At lightheavyweight anyway, which was his main weight class.
The only fighter that could make a case for Roy coming to them, instead of them coming here to fight Roy, would be Darius.
That's because he was the "lineal" champion.
However, at the same time Roy held the WBC, WBA, IBF, IBO, NABF, WBF, and IBA light heavyweight titles all at the same time.
So maybe Darius was the LHW champion by technical standards... but Roy has a case to make holding 7 titles in one weight class.
