    Lost only to the very best

    Incredibly strong and had some skills to back it up.

    He was about as smooth as a rhinoceros but twice as strong.

    Always came to rumble.

    RIP to a warrior.

    This covid is such a sad situation how devastating and in a way how random it is. We really don't know how it will affect anyone. All the best to Roldan's family. He really was a tough fighter who gave it his all. All action. The fights which stand out sometimes were not the ones he lost to with Hagler and Hearns or Nunn, it was his wins.. he could be devastating. He sort of smoothered the heck out of decent guys like Fletcher and Kinchen. I wish he could have fought in another era because that style would have been great at different times.

    Didn't expect that myself. Frank never should have fought Wilford Scypion in the first place. At least he would have had his title shot.

    He also had Hearns in deep water. Just couldn't drown him.
