Honestly, I'd much rather see Roy behind a mic than in a ring nowdays anyway (just as long as he's not fucking rapping!!)

To be honest watching Wlad last week has got me thinking about how the Roy who completely shut Ruiz out would have done. I'd give him a shout. I think he'd be more effective at getting in and out than Haye was and would hopefully take the risk of throwing in bunches too.

Not sure about the size as he is a touch smaller than Haye was, but Haye boxed scared and even still, Wlad was very tentative. If Roy could sting him a few times he might get his respect.

The advantage he'd have had over Haye was that I don't think he'd have thought that he could get Wlad out of there in one shot so wouldn't have spent about 95% of the fight waiting to land one.
To each their own, I've just never have been a fan of "PPV" RJJ, and I like him even less as an announcer, but that's just me, more often then not I have to mute him.
