Roy was fighting at or around 154 in the beginning of his career, even still making 154 in his 12th fight. For him to beat Hop for a middleweight title. Winning the SMW against Toney. A light heavyweight title against Montell Griffin. Another against Del Valle. Another against Johnson. Another against Harding. Remaining against Gonzalez. And jumping up to take on Ruiz is tremendous. As much crap as Ruiz gets he has like 5 heavyweight title fight victories and fought many great fighters. As much as I hate Ruiz I felt he was robbed of a couple title victories too.(could say gifts as well so it evened out)

Roy is a freak of nature, embrace his career and enjoy it. You may never see that again.
