Truth bro!! I saw that & you're rightMy nikka this is as bad as the Bud fought a fresher version of Canelo than Mell did argument nikkas had in here a week or so ago.
I can't even respond to anymore of this. I'll just break this fight down on the podcast tonight.
nikkas definitely weren't watching Roy at lightheavy weight.
Michael Spinks might be the only 175ber I'd favor over Roy. Hell Moorer got a better chance than fukking Bivol.
And this has absolutely nothing with favoring or liking one fighter over another. Roy was an S-Tier rated fighter who would probably beat more great fighters at 175 than lose to. Spinks could beat him & Ezzard Charles probably could but in a best out of 3, I could see Roy beating both at 75. There's no way in any shape or form would I pick Bivol to even hang with any of them lol. Bivol is at best a B+ to possibly an A- type
And I'll be tuning in tonight too!

Ring Gang Radio with a resounding fuk no to the nonsense of thinking Bivol can hang with Roy at 175
Roy had one of the most disappointing resumes in real time. Nyggas thought it was so cool that he was gonna hoop and fight Eric Lucas on the same day, while I thought it was sad. This is what we are resorting to Roy?
The combination of athleticism, steroids, and carefully handpicked opponents is a significant part of Roy’s career that isn’t really talked about because he lost 17 fights. He tries to rewrite history because he lost so many fights.

What does a tough 160 weight fighter from yesteryear got to do with Roy at 175 again?While we playing this bizarro world comparison game, why don't we pit Naoya Inoue vs Manny Pacquiao? Because that's the logic you're using here.

Underrated and overlooked point you've made here.
People forget how many cab drivers Roy was blessed to stack his resume with.
The steroids we can leave for another conversation.

I had to say something before we switched topics.
Now mind you that was the first time all 5 of us was on at the same time in like a month. nikkas formed like Voltron to combat that nonsense.
The age ranges from 29 to 40 something. So you got late 20's, mid 30's, and early 40's all picked Roy. nikkas from 3 different eras of boxing all chose Roy to beat dude up.

If he is that means Mell turned down the fight
