    Considering of course the island has a fat HD TV and a DVD player.:D

    My choice I'm betting won't be the popular one, because it's not one of his highest calibre of opponent.

    I would take the Bryant Brannon fight:
    1) No matter how many times I've seen it I enjoy the in-ring interview where Roy is sitting on that stool and answering questions from 3 boxing writers and a couple fans in attendance.
    2) Brannon comes out like a tornado with vicious shots, and he is a very big man, with Roy weathering the storm on the ropes with a nice tight defense and cool movement.
    3) Roy ends up opening that can of whoop-ass on him, and looks to the ref like: "Man, are you gonna stop this or do you "really" want to hit this dude some more??". The ref is like "go", so Roy just kind of shrugged his shoulders like "OK then" and bombs him out for good.

    The whole package IMO was great entertainment.:yep

    What one would it be for you guys??

    Roy did show his class asking for that one to be stopped.

    I like the Brannon one as well, however, i also like the Toney fight because he put on such an awesome display against a fellow great fighter who was barely able to win a round.

    The Pazienze fight is also noteworthy. Such a domination and my God, what a finish.

    I would take the Toney fight or the Ruiz fight if I could take the build up too, Ruiz was acting up before that one and got shut down, :yep

    Yes 196, you may. That's why I mentioned I wanted to bring the pre-fight thing with Roy sitting on that stool in the middle of the ring answering those questions, and he did such a cool job with that whole thing too. I don't remember the exact question, something to the effect of either who would he consider a tough fight or something, and he said "Well I've got a guy here tonight, Bryant Brannon that I'm not gonna overlook at all" something to that effect, you big Roy fans could help me if I'm far off.

    Cool to you first couple of guys that agreed with me. I at first thought I may have been the only one that enjoyed that show as a whole to take it to a deserted island with me.:good

    True, and some of my fave performances were REALLY quick KO's. That one reason I picked Brannon with all the pre-fight entertainment as well. They said on the HBO broadcast that Roy even performed a "concert" for the fans, but I've never seen footage of that.

    It was something like that, I watched that not long ago, I rember an interveiwer having a go at him about his level of oponent and him saying that Brannon could be his toughest fight, people having a go about him playing basketball before his previous fight.

    That kind of stuff, but my memory is **** poor. :lol:

    NO, your are right. I haven't watched it in a while, but they were takin shots at him. That's why I said I was so impressed with how COOL he was with the whole thing.

    RJJ=THE MAN!!:yep

    Do you know anything about the "concert" he gave the fans??
