Roy was a A Grade genuine bonafide ATG in his prime still the peak of his fame and all that other ****. He was thoroughly juiced and on a high mentally strong confident etc. He would have juice up even more to 210 pounds (he was 199 unofficially vs Ruiz) Roy might have WON and not even got knocked out. OMG I said it, the blasphemous see sometimes history can go a completely different direction when one element changes. a persons lifespan can be extended by 20 years or more if they have even just one small important thing to do. when Roy chose to ***** down to 175 the world collectively thunk him a coward and he has acted accordingly ever since you dont ****ing throw away the World Heavyweight Championship to fight Tarver Roy had the world as his Oyster Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson big money $$$ like Dela hoya Mayweather Tyson money and he fights Tarver! no wonder that punk has never been the same
Even if Roy whacked 2 or 3 bums at heavy he still could have made a $50 000 000 - $100 000 000 payday. the first boxer to do it. Lil Floyd has been trying to get the $100mill payday for years just **** stirring until the numbers come up. it might pass him by too.
Lennox retired, Ruiz had beaten Holyfield, and the Tyson fight couldn't get made for various reasons. Tarver was baiting him all of 2003, and even crashed the Ruiz press conference. A coward? Dropping from 199 to 175 in a short space of time, to face a dangerous motivated fighter?
He should have fought Barney the Dinosaur or Gumby at Heavyweight and kept his World Heavyweight Championship until a name was ready to line his pockets **** Ruiz and Tarver they don't exist
