    Roy was still in his prime in those early LHW years, and I wouldn’t have bet on Artur catching him.

    Artur has done absolutely nothing in his career for anyone to believe that he’d have destroyed Hopkins and Toney.

    What are you talking about?

    That’s a big call.

    IF he could have withstood Roy’s offensive arsenal.

    IF he could have caught Roy and hurt him.

    Two HUGE ifs.

    What great depth does this LHW era have exactly?

    Artur himself has only fought 10 world level fighters, with most of them being B to C level.


    Regarding Dariusz, it was Universum who would never meet with the appropriate people.

    Not a single meeting ever took place.


    John Ruiz wasn’t a great HW.

    But he was still a HW, and a guy who’d certainly have been a top 5 win for Artur, if not top 3.


    Nobody knowledgeable would have seen this as being a very easy fight for Roy.

    Artur is obviously a great fighter.

    Artur’s legacy is built on a win against Bivol, who many think that he was lucky to have beaten.

    It would also have been a tough stylistic match up for Artur.

    He isn’t huge, he isn’t fast, and he’s easy to hit.

    Bivol wasn’t as fast as Roy, and look at his game plan and his success.

    Yes, Artur is past his best, but I don’t see that fight playing out any differently, against any version of Artur.

    Gvozdyk is his best win.

    I repeat, Artur has only beaten 10 world level fighters in his entire career, with 8 of those being B to C level guys.

    But please continue.

    And you’re still posting laughable horse manure.

    Please feel free to refute anything that I’ve typed though.

    I’ll wait.

    Which of Roy’s opponents burnt muscle within the space of a few months?

    Plenty of SMW-LHW past and present who have cut more weight than Roid did. It's just another in a long line of pathetic excuses from his delusional fanbase.
