Roy Shaw

How well do you think he would have done on the pro scene?

i suggest he wouldnt have beaten Ali....

He would have been a George Chuvalo, Tony Galento type.

Tough and brave, but with limited skills, I think?

He'd be a tough nearly man. Quarry, Chuvalo etc.

he would have made it to the top of the british scene perhaps..But would never come close to a world title or anything..

I remember he beat ron stander..and admitted that stander was a great fighter and would have beaten him if it werent for him having broken ribs having just come off a stoppage loss to joe frazier..

You don't take a Volkswagen into the Indianapolis 500 unless you know a short-cut.

Ali would have beaten him easily with just his jab :)

Very good analogy.

u have to watch his fights on youtube. this guy is awful. reputated to be a great brawler, but would get killed by far FAR lesser HW's than ali.

i watched alis fight against berbick. lemme tell u somat, ali of that fight would have ko'd shaw early. i saw glimses of ali in the berbick fight that he showed in 1975ish. he wasnt as bad in 1981 as i expected wen i first watched it on utube. but he had slowed down at alot. i mean ali punched alot harder than ppl think!

roy shaw wrote in his autobio, that he couldnt hurt ron standers at all wen he connected on his chin. roy was a natural middleweight, he bloated up to heavy thru weight training.
