    There's various links from 95, where Roy and Greg Fritz stated that Don wanted future options.

    After he'd beaten Paz, I also saw an article where Stanley Levin was quoted as saying that he wouldn't be turning Roy over to King, for Liles and Benn.

    Then the following year, in 1996, HBO backed Roy, when he said he'd offered them both 7 figures to fight him. Trust me, if that hadn't have been true, HBO would never have backed him.

    Roy is also on record, stating that he sent his advisors to the Benn-Malinga fight, to work on a potential deal.

    In a moment, I'll put a link up, that'll shut these haters down.

    :good

    Rico, Rumsfield, KillSomething,


    These following links, are for you and all of the other guys, who genuinely believe that Roy took the path of least resistance throughout his career.

    Jim Thomas, was Evander Holyfield's former attorney. He was highly respected, and he was involved with Evander for numerous years, helping him to secure many of his big fights.

    Read this link, for a brief overview of their relationship.

    Now read this link, that show excerpts from Jim's book.

    If you are able, scroll to chapter 14, page 220.

    He talks of how a fight with Roy in 2003, was almost made.

    But one way or another the fight was stopped, so Toney stopped him.

    No sense in arguing or accusing someone of not watching it.

    A puncher, is more of a style to me... Toney was a slick defensive counter puncher, but to deny his power is silly... He hurt fighters from MW to HW..

    Do you not rate what he did to Michael Nunn?

    Name Toney 3 best KO's.

    yes he was slick yes he was very good on defense but he wasn't a power pucher. He also wasn't feather fisted either that is not what I am saying.
