    That's your opinion, not mine. He's a great fighter though, you must at least agree with that. His athleticism was just ****in insane. I bet he could of tried any sport when he was younger and been world-class in any of em (baseball,football,basketball,etc.)

      Yea maybe basketball or football. But baseball isn't all about athleticism, hitting a baseball isn't easy.

        Roy should have never came back down from heavyweight. He shouldve stayed and retired after a couple more title defences.

        The only way I would tell Roy to fight a few more is if he goes heavyweight.
        he woujldnt have lost to johnson..but tarver would give royjones problems regardless of when the time was

            Yeah, Roy would have beaten both of them convincingly in his prime. I think he would have KO'd Johnson and decisioned Tarver. You never know, he may beat the **** out of Tarver this time, but as cautious as he fights, it's hard to imagine him just going after Tarver like that lol

              hmm

              Sure, Tarver would have given Roy something to think about, but not enough to BEAT Roy in his prime. Hell, he LOST to an old, dehydrated Roy before their rematch. His chin was only questioned in his late age so there really is not much legitimacy is saying that Tarver should be favored to beat Roy in his prime.
