    I can't blame Roy. Who would want to go over to Germany after what happened to him in the Olympics last time he was away from home? And he had all the belts and was the draw, I suspect he felt in his own mind he was the true champ.

    By winning belts other fighters where unrightfully stripped of? Yep, that makes you a true champ. :lol:

    Well, except one. He had an absolute tonne of titles, like 7 or 8 at the same time, he was unarguably the draw and as I said, he probably felt in that respect that Michalczewski had to go to him and not the other way round.

    Hence why I said 'in his own mind' he probably felt he was the true champion of the division.

    Personally, I think he just didn´t want to take DM because he could make as much money fighting police and firemen. He was all about business and money. Like PBF. Those are bad for boxing IMO.

    DM would have brutally Shattered that Glass Jaw. It's irrefutable.

    Roy Was regarded as pound for pound the best at the time why should he go to a country where if you're a foreigner you need to knock the home fighter out twice in order to win a split decision? He already knew what it was like to win every round and not getting the win after what happened to him in Seoul he simply didnt felt like going through all that **** again.

    You mean like Chris Eubank who beat G. Rocchigiani in Germany despite even his own corner was thinking he lost and called that win lucky? Around the same time?

    Yeah. :good

    I think he would have fought Michalczewski if the fight was in the US, the problem was after the robbery in the Olympics, he probably didn't feel comfortable fighting outside of the States. And Michalczewski never fought outside of Germany except once, in neighbouring Poland, against a fringe contender at best from the US, making him affectively the home fighter again.

    Come on man, you can't deny it doesn't happen. Ottke-Reid, even Sylvester-Karmazin recently, you never know what's going to happen.

    You german weirdos didnt like Rocky for some reason, he probably was too exciting for you guys,he also got jobbed against DM in his own country in one of the most pathetic displays of acting i've ever seen in a ring.

    Only in Germany :good

    He's in the twi-light of his career, he's got nothing to lose. Why would he have risked it all in his prime? Come on man, you know better than that.
