    In his prime, he did things never done before in the ring and no one has done since. Unreal.

    Mesmerizing yet unfulfilled. One of the most talented fighter's to ever step in the ring - perhaps the most athletically gifted - yet for all the great performance's, for the unrivalled combination of speed and power, he lacks the resumé to go with his outstanding talents.

    He had a chip on his shoulder from the Olympics too, and conflicts with his father. For a while it really looked like Roy was taking out frustration on people.

    well put Tommy

    he's done things in the ring i've never seen anyone else do. was as close to unbeatable in his prime as anyone i've ever seen. (insert resume knock here)

    i'm biased b/c he was my favorite fighter growing up but still. unparalleled talent

    Very good skills but avoided the best. Overreated by many.
