Something about the way he takes punishment to the head is COMPLETELY different than 5 years ago, and his still superior handspeed/power is irrelevant because he's gunshy (and for good reasoning).
Exactly!
People can give him the benifit of the doubt, hope and pray all you want, but unfortunately the longer Roy fights on the more chance of him getting serious damage and the more likelihood you'll see him stretched comatose again.
