In fact his pulling out of fights had Tarver draw a cartoon of Don King dragging Jones to the ring tied up to fight Ruiz because everyone thought Roy would pull out of that too.
The douglass fight was mentioned after roy just got to LHW from 168, and it was possibly too early...The holyfield fight didn't happen because Holy lost to lennox, then ruiz beat holyfield. So he fought Ruiz who was a alphabet title holder, much smarter than fight lennox lewis...
the fact that you're suggesting Roy is a "chicken" for not fighting heavy's is flat out disliking for a great fighter. Roy started at 154, was still bascially too small for 174 but managed to stay there for most of his career.
Him being chicken for not fighting professional heavy's when he's 30+ pounds smaller than them probably the dumbest shit I've heard on here in a while. And since you mention Tarver, he gained all his muscle for a fucking movie, then came back down and was torn up by bernard hopkins a man smaller than him. And after the fight he clearly realized what Roy went through but still managed to beat his ass but Tarver couldn't bring himself to admit it on television because he knew it would take away his only claim to fame..his victories over Roy. At least Roy gained a HW title for putting his body through that..tarver just got exposed...
