    Nope, Eubank is staying there. As is Benn, Nunn, Calzaghe etc.

    So go on, defend Roid's ducking of Collins. Just admit it, Roid ducked the Celtic Warrior.

    What is there to defend?

    1996:

    Roy had the IBF, and he tried to obtain the WBA from Liles and the WBC from Nardiello. Neither guy was interested.

    Collins held the lightly regarded WBO belt that wasn't respected or even rated by the likes of The Ring magazine. Collins was a warrior, and he genuinely wanted Roy, and I have nothing but respect for him. But he'd lost all of his big fights when he was younger, and his claim to fame was beating faded versions of Eubank and a shot Benn.

    Why did Roy have to fight him, when he had no chance of unifying the division?


    1999:

    When he challenged Roy the second time, he'd been out of action for two years and he had no ranking at LHW. Nobody wanted to see that fight, and Roy went on to unify the LHW division against Reggie Johnson instead.


    Happy now?

    How can Eubank stay on the list you fool?

    Are you arguing against what Eubank himself has said? :patsch

    Eubank had the lightly regarded WBO belt and he was happy to fight guys like Ray Close on his ITV contract.

    How could Roy have ducked him?

    Eubank: "Fighting Roy Jones would have been suicide."

    Calzaghe? A relatively unknown European, who was WBO belt holder from a different division?

    That's 3 gone from your list.

    Keep em coming.

    That's one of the biggest win of his career your doing him a dis service if your calling that one of the biggest win of his career ..

    If he beat a ranked opponent in his weight all respect due but beating the shell of the shell of the shell of RJJ is nothing to write home about ..

    How would you feel if he knocked Jake Lomatta out now ? Would you throw a parade ? :lol:

    As brutal as some of Roy's KO loses have been, and I take no pleasure in seeing any fighter get brutally KO'd unless I really, really dislike them, none of them come close to this. This is just one of the most savage and disturbing KO's I've ever seen. The part where Enzo was out cold on the canvas being tended to by paramedics was cut out of this. :-(

    10:25 the replays shortly after

    Hopefully what happened last night will convince Roy to finally hang up his gloves for good now.

    Yeah, Frenkel was an absolutely savage puncher too, and obviously Enzo had been of the wrong end on brutal KOs numerous times prior to that fight so the referee was an idiot not to wave it off after the first KD.
