Well since 168 didn't exist? We're stuck with things. Foster and Mike Spinks would have annihilated Roy at some point in 12 or 15 rounds. Roy would have won a lot of rounds right up until he was looking up at the lights wondering what the hell happened.
A pre-Sam Baroudi Ezzard would just have kicked his ass
That's if we just dropped a 1997 Roy in. Like I said, had he been taught and tempered the way those guys were? WOW!
So you agree he could live with them.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
