Zhubin, love cats like u that talk without thinkng things through. 34 is still prime years for Roy's generation. He was coming off the biggest win of his career, and there was no noticeable slip until Tarver touched his chin.

As for the weight, this is where ur lack of understanding in the sport shines. The heaviest estimates for Roy in the Ruiz fight were 199, with most agreeing that he was 193. The light heavy limit is 175, and Roy, like all boxers, could cut at least 10 pounds of water by drying out right before the weigh in and then rehydrating. So.... The weight cut wasn't as drastic as the fanboys try n make it seem.

Roy was a good fighter. EXTREMELY talented. He should be given credit for beating Hop, Toney, Hill, Griffith, Ruiz, and Tarver, but to suggest that he is the greatest or fought better comp than Ward, Floyd, Hop, Sweet Pea...etc. is asinine. Sorry buddy, he just doesn't have the resume of an ATG. Had he beaten Benn, Eubank, Collins, Darius M, Mclellan...etc., then u would have a case for him.
