Haw far do you think Roy Shaw could have gone....?

Who knows? There are many could have beens in boxing. Tony Ayala Jr won 20 fights by the age of 19 but then went to prison and when he came back was never the same. Great chin, speed, and deadly power, what could he have done? Billy Collins was undefeated before Panama Lewis put plaster of paris in his opponents gloves and permanently ruined Billy's vision, how far could he have gone? Now Roy had a good start with his power but was his defense good? We will never know. Wins at undergroud fights don't mean much. A trained boxer would kill someone who swings wildly and tries to fight street. Look at Kimbo Slice, ruled the undergroud but fought someone trained and got koed. Sadly Roy joins boxing history as yet another what could have been and we can speculate but not much in only ten fights about what COULD have happened.
