You keep saying this but it simply isn't true. You just aren't knowledgeable enough to appreciate how good of an opponent guys like Julio Cesar Gonzalez, Thulani Malinga, Virgil Hill etc are.

I do appreciate guys like Hill and Gonzales. I just didn't remember the fights off the top of my head.

But please with Malinga. He was a tough guy who lost damn near every time he stepped up in competition. He already had 8 losses when he fought Roy, Roy gave him is 9th, and he finished his career 9-4 after that

Highlighting that fight is like highlighting James Quick Tillis on Tyson's resume.

He was a journeyman. Had a good career, got some good fights, lost them all. Is a good tough opponent for anyone, but can't beat top guys.

He's safe. A crowd pleaser who will take a whopping from a legit contender and won't fold early

Malinga gave Chris Eubank HELL and a lot of people thought Malinga had won. Malinga would go on to become a 2 time champion at 168 he got his first belt by beating the great Nigel Benn who hadn't lost in like 5 years. More than anything though Malinga was thought to be absolutely impossible to KO and Roy did the impossible.

Also remind me when did James Tillis ever upset someone as good as Nigel Benn?
