    Danny Green was his next fight after that

    Decent wins where?

    He hasn't beat a ranked fighter since 2003, 6 years prior to his fight with Calzaghe. What part of that don't you understand?

I think the wins were good for him considering his age at the time yes, but that's really just putting it in perspective of his age. I admit I may be biased because I watched some of those live since I was too young to watch early Roy.
        consdierng his age isnt the same as flat out abilty, true.

            He beat no ranked fighters since 03. Fact.

            He beat no decent fighters since 03. Fact.

            That's the truth sorry if you can't handle it.

            Roy in 09 was no where close to a decent win.

                      Walcott loses %26 of his fights. Who are the guys Archie, Jersey, Ezzard beat that makes them great opponents? And these top guys that they beat who did they beat? I know Archie lost to Patterson. He’s also fought the same guy six times. These guys all really could have been amazing but they did all lose to Rocky. My point is we know what we’ve heard and read but nobody has any real first hand data save the few fights on YouTube and even then we know less about the guys they are beating. Could u offhand name their heights without looking?
