    I thought Roy's failed drug test was from a GNC product... Let's not put him in the same boat as BALCO

      Harold Johnson's an ATG, my third favourite fighter ever and greater than Roy IMO and certainly at LHW but H2H I don't see him winning. Johnson would cause him problems most definitely in a similar way to Montel Griffin with a solid jab, timing and countering but Roy speed advantage is going to be a problem and eventually I see Johnson getting stopped late.

      Tunney and Spinks would be competitive but again I see the speed advantage being key same with Conn.
      you might be right about the speed of roy being too much,, but you totally read my thoughts about harold causing him problems like montel did in the first fight. That was my exact logic

        Johnson's far more skilled than Griffin but I'm he's not the athlete Griffin.

        I'm not sure Johnson's chin would hold up against Roy because he's going to get hit and late in the fight he might catch him and hurt him.

        If he made it to the cards it would be a close fight.

            Thought for a while but a LH goat in Archie Moore I wouldn't doubt that he could lay the hand that could KO a prime Roy.

              Honestly i think moore would get the james toney treatment from roy..

              Moore was a great fighter, but he needed that aggressive type fighter to bring out the best in him, much like toney,,, put them in with jirov, barkley, marciano and you will see them at their best, but a mover like roy, with his speed to hit and not be there for the counter, roy would be a nightmare for moore IMO
