    It is sad news, he did seem like a nice guy.

    What is sad is if the cunt who hit him hadn't run off, they might have been able to revive him.

    Also worth pointing out that Gonzales ended DM's undefeated streak. He had a pretty good career.

    Fuck! Definately one of those under the radar favorites, I mean one of those we all don't talk about much but definately have respect for and loved watching him fight.
    R.I.P. exciting and brave fighter.

    Sad news. I liked him, brave as they come, I remember his war with Letterlough and the bravery he showed getting up from multiple knockdowns against prime Roy. As SD says he also ended the Dariusz streak although I didn't see that fight. RIP.

    i thought his upset win over d mich was excellent. the dude always came to fight and also seemed like a good guy outside the ring.

    r.i.p.

    Agreed! I still have that fight on VHS. Great fight.

    Fucking sad. Always liked this brave fighter (pgm = leverage; pds =accuracy). I liked his straight left to the body, palm up. He hit RJJ with it. I liked the way he relaxed his arms when he threw.

    I saw him fight live a couple of times on smaller cards. He actually broke this guy Joseph Kiwanula's nose and it shot out a geyser of blood. He seemed like a decent guy. I always wondered why he wasn't more popular. He had an honest fan friendly style.

    Roy was NOT in his damn prime when he beat Gonzalez.

    Prime Roy = 94-00.

    Please, if he was out of his prime it wasn't by much. He was still frigging good.

    It was before Sleepy Roy started taking over, anyway
     
  25. Free Ike

    I just want to note that not a single one of Roy's nutticks said a fucking word about his prime being gone until Tarver clipped him.
     
  26. word.

    Enhancing Roy's legacy in the process. :hammert:

    That's a lie.

    Kiwanuka was a good fringe contender at one point with good power. To this day, I do not know how he let Pazienza beat him.
     
  29. Free Ike

    Free Ike WBC Silver Diamond Emeritus Champ

    No, it is true. The slipping from his prime argument came after Roy lost so that the nuttick's could still gorge on the undefeated scrotal blood of their fallen hero.

    Still, you can't argue that Roy was anywhere close to his prime as a fighter after the weight loss.
