      ive heard roy didnt train for johnson but its probably an excuse.im glad to see roy has hung up the gloves and has done the right thing instead of hanging on like vander and bowe.roy has said he will fight the winner of the tarver/johnson fight if they mention his name, which i think is a good idea if he is indeed still as good as he says he is. if roy could muster a comeback like that and defeat the winner it would be the perfect ending for a great fighter

            yeah i agree. that'd be a huge a fight and it'd be sweeeet. i wonder if he should beat both of them though? fight the winner of the tarver-johnson fight then fight the loser.

                if hes going to fight the winner of tarver-johnson, maybe he should focus on boxing instead of promoting his CD.

                    roy's time is up... if that's not obvious after his last 3 fights, then you're just fooling yourself, just like jones is... he's going to be the next holyfield, if he keeps this up... i wonder if he feels that holy should retire?

                      I think Roy could still be champ. Much like Ali had his before and his after the whole Vietnam boxing ban. He had two different fighting sytles. The first style was to dance and be hard to hit, the second was obsorbe punishment until his opponent tired some.

                      Roy was use to using his speed/feet to avoid getting hit, he's gotta change his style and learn how to block. The blow that came from Johnson, he turned his head away from the punch rather than block. As a result he got lumped on the side of the head. So, if Roy changes his style and relys less on his feet, I think he could regain and hold the light-heavy title for another couple years.
