    Bit of a random match-up, but I think Roy is too big for Basilio, who wasn't a huge puncher at middleweight.

    Probably similar to the Castro match in Basilio having his moments with Roy against the ropes, but losing a lopsided decision. Roy often didn't open up as much against durable fighters, but if he did he hit hard enough to mess up anyone at 160.
