    Roy never faced anyone on their level ever at 175lb.

      He would have if they were active when he was.
      Roy didn't duck anyone IIRC.
      Biggest rip-off in boxing history was when they gave the gold medal to that Korean dude instead of Roy.
      I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

          True.
          I don't remember any accusations of ducking on Roy's part.

            I think eventually we saw that for all of Roy’s gifts he didn’t have a great chin.

            That would be bad against Beterbiev.

            Against Bivol I could see him winning on points.

                We didn't see Dariusz vs anybody. So who's the duck?

                Even Abraham and Sturm came over for smoke. Because it ain't none Germany and Poland

                  I never never used the word duck. I just said we didn't see the fight. My argument was Roy never faced anyone at 175 at Bivol or Beterbiev level and thats a fact. Dariusz was the lineal champion so it would had been a nice name on Roy's resume since he stated out of his own mouth he was washed up when he faced Tarver.
