    There are so many fighters that Roy has on his resume, that if he hadn't fought them people would say they could've given Roy a hard time.

    That guy JC, the Mexican I think, or whatever. Roy beat him undefeated, but he's not a guy people mention as a good win for Roy. Yet after losing to Roy, this guy took Dariusz's 0. He also beat Glen Johnson. But do you ever see anybody mentioning him as a good win for Roy? It's pretty unfair if you ask me.
    He also beat Letterlough who was an unbeaten ko artist in a very entertaining fight on FNFs and that fight I think was some kind of eliminator to fight Roy.

      Or when they mention the SMW's he didn't face... they say he didn't face Mclellan, Eubank, Liles...

      I always say... If he fought and beat Mclellan, Eubank, and Liles... but never fought Toney and then left the division which would be worse?

      The fact of the matter is, he beat the best MW, who went undefeated for the next 12 years, moved up and beat the best SMW in the division. Regardless if there were more fights for him at that weight, at minimum, he beat the best fighter there.

        Nor Leonard nor Jones is the best fighter ever when it comes to resume.

            He's the best i've seen ( Along with Floyd)

            How he stacks up to some of the older legends i'm probably not the best authority on

                Lol, I kind of exaggerate with prime Roy, but most of what I say would probably end up being true if it had happened.
                cant exaggerate prime Roy..... as a nmatter of fact words dont do it justice

                even looking back at old footage I dont understand how he even physically was able to do the things he did.... it almost feels like he's cheating !! lol

                His final resume lets him down a bit so maybe not GOAT but certainly ATG and my pick in ANY fantasy match from 154 - 168... if the weight category has the word "middleweight" in it then prime Roy OWNS it.
