My question is when did guys like Bika ever give Roy problems when he was anywhere near his prime? The most similar guy to that is Merqui Sosa who Roy knocked out in 2 rounds. They are similar fighters Roy and Joe, but Roy is that much faster, and hits that much harder, and punches that much straighter.

Once again didn't Glen Johnson beat Roy THAT easily? And Roy was actually throwing combinations in that fight, Didn't Tarver beat Roy THAT easily in their third fight?

Thats why Joe is not getting any respect, because he doesn't deserve it FOR THIS FIGHT

Against Kessler I give him all the credit in the world, Kessler is a really good fighter and Joe beat him handily. Joe had a very close fight with Bernard where he kept on imposing himself more and more in the fight, but I think that was because Bernard is so old, but still Bernard is still an amazing fighter, and Joe gets a lot of credit for what he did, but still Jermain Taylor fought just as well against Bernard, Roy fought better against a much younger Bernard who was on the verge of his prime IMO.
