      It was a great win for Roy over Ruiz, although I don' t think he would have went the distance with Lennox Lewis or, at the time, a past his prime but still dangerous Tyson. He was untouchable at middleweight n super middleweight.

        People who's top 5, that are on black and white film, are closed minded about newer talent. I'm not afraid to say someone is better than Ray Robinson, Ali and the other late greatest.
        Really over SRR??? Wow! That's different. I would take me some time to make that list for you. Boxing has an rich history, but roy would not be on that list.

          Although finished when Roy beat him.

          But to say he wasn't an elite fighter is ridiculousm
          When I say elite I am talking something like hagler. You got good great elite and GOAT classes.

            That's not good enough to go around saying your the goat of boxing that's my issue.

              McCallum is elite.

              He's an ATG.

                James told me he was on the beach in Hawaii 3 weeks before the fight, only trained 2 in a half weeks for it.

Toney isn't in the hall of fame yet because he hadn't been inactive for 5 yrs. He's first ballot once eligible. Roy also beat Virgil Hill who's in the hall of fame. You're sounding very much like a casual.
                  Hopkins changed his style of fighting and got better over time. Am I lying? I didn't say Toney wasn't good enough to go. All I said was he is not in the hall of fame. Am I lying? If the bodystacher I'd elite then Andre ward and others are gods.

                    When you put that list together, combine their best 10 opponents, to their worse 10. Today's boxers don't have to choice to load up on a hundred bouts, that won't sell on TV, vice to fighting on a radio, or at the time second rate media, which was a TV then. But I will definitely wait for the list and share mine.

                      He's not Top 30 all time. Am I lying? Maybe not even top 50 if we're cutting it up right. Hard body punches tho def ATG in that regard
