roy was never a big attraction commercially. i don't think people "turned their back on roy" after he got sparked because roy simply wasn't the same fighter after fighting ruiz and coming back down to fight tarver. boxing is a sport where your standing can change in one night but there isn't the 'diplomatic' period you have with women... if your number is up in boxing you have to deliver or that's the ballgame, with women it's more like playing chess and maneuvering (sp?) for freedom once you know you have to call time on them.
