I'm a big fan of Roy, so don't misundertstand what I'm saying. But, from the period of 2003-2008, its highly debtable that Roy has "looked better" than Oscar.
co-sign thats just the difference made btwn. fighting a live opponnent and handpicking bums, of course De La Hoya's not gonna look great in comparison to Roy, i mean...when you fight Pacquiao and when you fight Calzaghe, which one is the tougher fight? or prior to that....when you fight Forbes and you fight a shot ass Trinidad? or even before that....when you fight Mayweather and you fight.....*hold on let me check Boxrec to see which bum he fought prior to Trinidad*....ok, and you fight Anthony Hanshaw ? c'mon now he went the distance with Hanshaw a fighter who a very green Dirrel destroyed early, Roy's been done for half a decade, if it looked otherwise it's only because he's been fighting horrible competiton
