If Roy Stayed at HW

I was wondering if RJJ stayed at HW and did not go back down to LHW(which caused his body to really take it's toll). How would he fare against the Heavies at that time?

I think that maybe most of them were too big for him,I mean could you imagine him with a Klitshko but hey,this is RJJ,one of the greatest talents ever! I just wish after beating Ruiz that he would have retired,what a fitting end that would have been aaaaaaaaaaaaand we would have been saved from that speaking ass known as Tarver >:mad

he would of probably beaten most of them except both Klitscko's and Lennox Lewis....
Was David Tua still in his prime during that time? Because he would of beaten Roy too imo

I loved Roy to death but I see him handpicking the Heavies Remember Roy is gunshy now from getting hit by Tarver and Johnson, imagine if he got Hit bty a legitimate heavy????Roy at heavy is spreading himself to thin...its like entering a corvette in a demolition derby "sure its the fastest in the race,but when that bi^ch gets hit its smashed to obvillion"!

I think RJJ would have been crushed like a roach by the gigantic guys.

I think he would have been competitive against the Rahman's of the world, but I also think that Toney may have had his revenge. Roy would not have had the speed he used to.

Tua may have literaly killed Roy if he tagged him....Roy wouldn't of had the pop to keep Tua from leaning and keeping him on the ropes...IMO Roy wouldn't have out boxed Byrd....Either Klitschko would have man handled him

Considering the way Roy handled the LH title and avoided Michalczewski forever, I think he would have fought the Guinns of the heavyweight division and reigned for a year or two. Just my thought.

That's what Toney has done and will continue to do.

He would have fought Corrie Sanders for the WBO title. But Sanders pulled out because he didn't want to fight Roy. And Lennox was packing it in so there was no one for Roy to fight except Byrd who Don King wouldn't let fight so Roy would have just done a lot of waiting

If he had avoided Lewis & maybe Vitali, he would definitely being ruling that sorry division right now...HWs at an all-time low with flabby Toney even competitive at top levels!! Unbelievable!!

Re: If Roy Stayed at HW

I laugh at these so called boxing fans, there so fickle and biased it's unreal, i mean alot of people rave about RJJ and the fact he won a heavyweight title, against the poorest of the title holders and then moves back down without beating none of the beat in that division.

But Hatton moves up weight wins a title, yes not against the strongest of the Champs but quite similar to RJJ wants to move back down and is crucified for it!!!!

You so called fans or should i say haters should sit back and post without using your hatred because you contradict yourselfs quite alot of the time, it seems it's ok and praised for one guy to do the same thing as another but if you dont like th other guy he is critizied insulted about doing the same thing.

Please tell me whats the difference?

Re: If Roy Stayed at HW

ummm......the fact that Roy started out as a middleweight and completly outclassed Ruiz.
He was the first middleweight to do it in 100 years, that is a much bigger accomplishment that Ricky Hatton's move up in weight.

the true hw were just to big....Lennox was 6'4" 245 Wlad and Vitali are 6'7"+ 250. Ruiz was his only shot at a title in the HW division because Ruiz was never a real hw champ....should have never left SMW...RJJ was great....
