Omar is totally shot. He has been in more wars than the Marines. Brutal stuff with Pemberton, Tate AND Eric Lucas has left HIM badly damaged IMO. At one time, he was a Rock N Rolla but no more. Joe Calzaghe didn't do him any good as well, but those two with Pemberton were career enders for certain. No one should take that kind of punishment.

Roy could take him out early with a flurry, or play with him and get a UD. Either way, don't bet on Omar.

As an aside, I still hold that Roy's demise was due to his weight gain to fight Ruiz and then his loss of muscle mass to fight Tarver. The Roy who fought JC was just too old and slow and could not pull the trigger.

One other thing, the fact that Omar lost to Tony Booth in 1998 has to be one of the tryly astonishing upsets. Tony is now at 52-105-9, but was 28-44-7 when he beat Sheika by UD in the UK!!! Omar then went on a tear before he fought JC.
