    LOL Where is that idiot who kept saying RJJ isn't broke and won't desperately take any BS he can get.

    So you think Kimbo "I made a name for myself knocking people out in gardens" Slice has more technical boxing skill than Jones?

    I highly doubt he's is broke. The money he makes as color commentator is enough to live comfortably, let along his years of fighting at the highest level.

    The money he made of fighting,endorsements, TV/Movie appearances,rap career,the fact he was never known as a big partier like Tyson or has 12 kids by almost the same number of women like Holyfield.

    I literally think he just wants to keep fighting.

    And this will probably make him good money( assuming it true) simply because, rightly or wrongly, Slice has a big name and people will tune in.

    This is sad. Really sad. One has to wonder how bad Roy's financial woes are.

    What the hell is going on?

    Roy should've just hang it up after getting KTFO'd by Tarver.

    After that, we only saw the husk of Roy Jones.

    Roy will beat Kimbo until they're 70, but I don't know if he even has a chin left. It's not impossible to foresee Kimbo landing one by stroke of luck and ending matters.

    I doubt he's saying that, but to completely avoid being hit you have to be levels above the opponent and have physical advantages. Even then a lucky shot can always get through

    I'm quite intrigued by this fight. If Roy wins then it's an opportunity to pack it in for good (but will he?). If Kimbo wins the hype continues, and he also has a win over an ATG so by many in the classic forum's reckoning he could be an ATG himself :lol:

    What is more embarrassing?
    Getting knocked out by Kimbo Slice
    or quitting against a 6 foot tall middleweight when you yourself is 6'8

    Just to be clear, I say this shadow of the shell of the shot Roy Jones still wins this one easily. I expect him to KO Kimbo within 3.

    If he's not broke, why does he owe the IRS millions and they're putting in liens against his property?
