Remember this like yesterday. Roy's last 'great' performance even though him gutting out that first Tarver fight was very impressive & on the same level to me. If he would've stayed at HW or just retired....

shyt is a classic!!! a perfect spoof of the 90s heavyweight scene
i remember like it was yesterday. i watched it in my boys dorm..winky and mormeck on the undercard...oquendo was losing to mo harris when he karate chopped/ rabbit punched this nikka and put him OUT..mo harris never recovered any momentum after..roy was masterful...i hated john ruiz man
I remember thinking that he could give it one last hurrah nectar by this time it was widely known that Macho was sometimes undisciplined...

If they had stopped after 3, I would have that as the best trilogy ever for consistent action and close competition. All 3 fights were excellent.
2 of the top 3 wins are James Toney and John Ruiz. The 3rd? Maybe beating Bernard Hopkins? Both guys were still relatively green. Otherwise it would easily by one of the top. Gutting out a tough win over Antonio Tarver in the first fight? Virgil Hill body shot?
I thought him at his peak might have been Bryant Brannon. Not one of his best wins due to opposition level, but just in terms of him at his best. It was like his version of Muhammad Ali-Cleveland Williams.

the 4th fight was one of the few times i couldnt even be a bloodthirsty ghoul even if i wanted...it was downright criminal..marquez just happened to be slightly less finished than vazquez, who was completely finished..then marquez after would proceed to be knocked out by anybody considered a live body..while vazquez lost an eye...vicious fights man
bhop doesnt complain about losing that first fight...he knows he got schooled with one hand...toney, hill...he had some other good wins like reggie johnson, merqui sosa, tarver of course, montell griffin, old mike mccallum...id replace bryant brannon with thomas tate....tate is the only guy to go 12 with julian jackson and roy put him out in 2...only time he was stopped

Marquez impressed the shyt outta me in this fight. I'm always impressed when little guys move up in weight and show out. Like an absolutely washed morales moving up and touching up Danny. Makes me wish they moved up in their primes.
