He is one of the great ones of this generation defiantly. Alot of the opponents he beat were either past present or future belt holders or contenders even after he beat them easily which means something. The only thing about Roy is the fact he should have made better career choices after the Ruiz fight like a Cruiserweight belt and not dropping back to a division he already conquered. Its a shame now that his skills are eroding now he wants to take chances, but in his prime he would shrug off going to another fighters country to fight them or he would not show up to a press conference to promote a fight, now he dresses up like a stupid pirate to promote a C lvl fight. What he could have been was a legend an icon now he seems to be a great fighter staying way past his expiration date and it is diminishing his standing because this is what people except hardcore boxing fans will remember.
