This doesn't get mentioned enough IMO. Two excellent fighters were bamboozled against Roy - although I feel Bernard wasn't as mentally strong as he had later become, or is now. You can see little traits that he has now that come so naturally (even something as small as putting your hands up in defiance as the end of a close round) were a little slow or even feeble. A bit too 'honest' in his approach IMO.
None the less, Roy did exceptionally well against two (truly) elite fighters.
I think, records and resume's aside - I like Roy's talent better. It's more unearthly![]()
