hehe Roy made Don King out to be the devil in that clip. Well later on he made a deal with the devil then.

Agreed he was blatently robbed but so were many others, but they didnt bleat whine and cry like Jones did. His being robbed of gold brought him more fame than if he'd actually won gold. Of course if he'd got the gold he wouldnt have the excuse not to fight away from home country.
Has he ever fought outside the U.S?? Nah he stayed here and fought postmen and garbage collectors while ducking his real contenders

i remember lewis got loads of sympathy from america after that defeat, in a way it was the best thing for him. but as soon as he beat holyfield all the americans went back to hating him if i recall correctly

1st fight was a pretty bad robbery. I though Evander clearly won 7 rounds in the second fight. I remember having a real bad taste in my mouth about Lewis after the second fight. It seemed he knew he already had it in the bag barring a KO and simply fought not to lose.

I remember watching Roy lose in the Olympics and tears came to my eyes when Roy began wiping tears from his eyes in the ring after the decision was made. I also remember the Korean raising Roy's hand and pointing to him, basically acknowledging tha Roy was the winner. That was truly class in any language.
I always thought that Roy was a pretty good commentator, especially when commenting on what was going on in the ring during a fight. If you want proof of this, just pull out the tape of Trinidad vs. Mayorga and you will see what I mean. Everything Roy said that night came true by the end of the fight (while Larry Merchant kept jabbing Roy about getting KO'd in his recent fights, which, by the way, Roy took in stride and joked about it, showing his good guy qualities)

Where can I find the fight Rican, any idea? I've always wanted to see it.
