Floyd's competition vs Manny's competition

[mikeeod]

Oscar lost big fights.

Floyd ducked Manny.

Roy did not duck those fighters they ducked him.

Roy was supposedly, according to Roy, very good friends with G-Man. After Benn ended his career, how could he find a reason to NOT fight him? Steve Collins called Roy out repeatedly after beating Eubank and Benn. Doubt Collins was ducking Roy. Darius called Roy out constantly. Roy was the name at that weight and a win over him makes any of those guys a superstar.
NO ONE was ducking Roy. It's why they called him Reluctant Roy and created the Roycott.

Collins ducked calzaghe..

All this ducking talk seems to suit every individual boxing fans needs.

Dariuz should have come to Roy if he wanted the fight instead of losing to some one Roy had beat. Benn was finished after the G Man fight and cashed in on some easy defences before losing the title to someone who Roy had beat.

Collins is not even worth discussing.

Huh. So you're saying that Collins was so bad that he shouldn't even be mentioned as a possible opponent for Roy, but Vinny Paz, Tony Thornton and Antoine Byrd were?!? Roy fought Vinny Paz. Former lightweight title holder. The guy who was humiliated by Hector Camacho. You're telling me Steve Collins wasn't worthy but Paz was?!? You can't even say that with a straight face. When guys try to say Floyd ducked everyone, I disagree and don't take it seriously. When they say Roy ducked people, I agree wholeheartedly. Roy missed too many big fights vs real competition during his prime. Once he lost his abilities he then tried to fight the best to stay relevant but it was too late.
