Since there wasn't the easy to respond media outlets like today- Roy couldn't counter the claims that happened after fight one. I vividly remember several commentators saying Roy's best days was at SMW.

That as well didn't sit well with RJJ. What an answer to the critic and Montell in the rematch. Tarver did a great job of tactically breaking down Montell with his win, but Roy, whew! Just annihilation at its finest.
I always felt he had to grow into light heavy a bit like Floyd at welterweight. I think Roy could have stayed at supermiddleweight
