    His resume is pretty good, not spectacular.
    LOL

    tito was a ww who fought hop at mw
    oscar was a ww who fought hop at mw
    wright was a jm who fought hop at lh
    pavlik was a mw who fought hop at lh

    i think his best win is tarver, and even he moved down two weight classes

      RJJ should of retired years ago. His greed has tarnished his legacy and its impossible just to forget about it. When I think of Roy, I think about his knockout losses.

        Right. I mean people say Roy fought no one great. Dude... None of these guys in the super six would even be recognized today if Roy was still Prime. They ould line up, and be embarrassed, and forgotten. Roys greatness is his only weakness to his resume. He made peple look like bums.

          Don't confuse me with someone who likes BHops middleweight resume, with the Lipsey's, the Frank's and all those guys he had on there was special.
          Nobody knew who he was until he beat Tito.


          I was thinking in regard to Jones, Michalczweski beat the same dudes Roy did, too bad that one never went off.

            He would have beat bernard with ease if bernard would have took the rematch back in 02.I dont think there has ever been a fighter that would have beaten that jones, I just wish he could have got more meaningful fights while he was prime.
            yea you can pretty much tell even from the small flashes of greatness he showed in the fight.

            Bernard did basically the same thing he did in the first fight only Jones is shot.

              It definitely leaves a lot to be desired, but its also far from full of bums.

                Roy was incredible. It's sad to see him like he is now. I hope he retires and lives a great life.
