    Who said foregone conclusion? You asked the question would they catch Roy. Southpaw Tarver & Harmon immediately sprung to my mind.

    Did they catch him?

    Seriously, are you trolling, or have you got issues?

    If you're trolling, it's really not funny.

    You're not even reading the posts.

    Like I keep saying, come and have a proper debate instead of wasting time.


    Tarver was a top 3 LHW at the end of Roy's reign.

    I'm not taking it personal, but it's frustrating going back and forth in this manner, when we could have a great debate.

    Just reread your own posts.

    You're upset with anyone who says they'd have favoured Roy over these guys.

    You're very argumentative.

    Are you mentally ill?


    I've given you MY list already.

    There was Dariusz, and then Tarver and about 4/5 others, were all on a similar level.

    In my opinion, there wasn't a clear cut top 3.


    If you're asking for official rankings of the time, then they were interchangable, depending on the timeframe.

    Would you like me to try and find the Ring rankings for certain years?

    Would that satisfy you?

    I'm not saying that it wouldn't have been possible. I'm saying that after watching both of their careers, in my honest opinion, it wouldn't have been likely.

    I'd honestly have only given him a punchers chance.

    IF he'd have caught Roy like Tarver did, it'd have been lights out. But I think the best versions of Roy at LHW, would have been far too fast for him. I think Roy's speed would have given him a nightmare.

    Yes, Tarver caught him. But only once out of 3 fights, and again, Roy had slowed at that point.

    If you're using Tarver's knockout as some sort of evidence, then personally, I think it's pretty weak evidence.

    Why don't you go and watch some more of Adonis' fights, as well as some of Roy's from the mid to late 90's.

    If you put both guys under the microscope, I think it's only logical to have favoured Roy. That's not to say Adonis couldn't have won, but I think Roy would have been a clear favourite. Let's not pretend that Adonis takes everyone out. He doesn't. And again, he's been stopped before, and he's never fought anybody like Roy at all. He hasn't fought anyone who even resembled Roy.

    I'm saying they were very good fighters, all of similar ability.

    I think they were both of similar ability when they fought at LHW.

    Again, I can't really say who the top 3 were during Roy's 7 year reign.

    Again, if you want to look at official rankings, we can do so.

    Reread your posts.

    They clearly imply that you believe Adonis would have beaten him, and you have laughed at the notion that he wouldn't have.

    Not only don't you read what I write, you don't even know what you've written yourself.


    Harmon? Derek Harmon was a keep busy fight in 2001. Roy was in cruise control, and made the fight look like a sparring session.

    Are you sure you've got the right fighter?


    Yes, Tarver caught him. And? It doesn't mean Adonis would have done, especially if he'd have fought the versions of Roy who fought Hill and Reggie etc.

    Rico,

    Where are you?

    Me and my Asperger's are still waiting on the list of fighters who Roy ducked, who were available to him.
