    He would've beat Byrd, Holyfield, Toney and Tua. Tua would've been dangerous, but RJ would've hit and ran all night. Absolutely no chance against Lennox.

    idk about toney though, that would have been a good fight


    toney is far better defensively than ruiz and thats all we seen roy fight at heavy. What if toney could get inside on him? I mean on roys very next fight he had a close close fight with tarver that could have been a draw then after that he got sparked out and has never been the same.

    I dont think it was a guarantee that he would beat toney at that point.

    NO!!!! Early in that fight with Ruiz i noticed Roy do a little shake off which made me realize he was out of his element.Lennox would have killed him....

    The RJ that Dominated Ruiz wouldve gave Lewis Problems

    It would have not been a walk in the park like everyonee thinks it would

    He wouldn't beat Lennox Lewis. The size difference makes it completely impossible.

    He wouldn't have beat Tua. Moorer couldn't beat Tua. But I do think he would beat Toney, Holyfield, Byrd, Tyson, everyone but the big heavies.

    Though Roy was ranked 3 at Heavyweight for a while, there were a handful of fighters I would have picked over him due to size and style... Corrie Sanders would have been one I would have picked to beat that version of Roy.

    i would love to have seen the effect a huge lennox lewis uppercut would have had on roys chin. it would of made the zab judah chicken dance look like a routine knockdown.

    If he could have landed that punch, Roy was pretty quick... It would be a straight right from long range I would be worried for Roy about.

    Anybody else think a victory by Roy over Lewis would have been up there with the greatest victories of all time?

    He might beat Holyfield. Lewis 4get it. Byrd might of have giving him problems 2. Roy would of been 2 small.

    Byrd, Holyfield, Toney. Lennox was too tall and heavy.

    No doubt it would've been. But not as big as if Manny Pacquiao were to beat Vitali Klitschko.
