Why is Roy Jones praised so much?he is overrated

Oh for ****s sake, I'm a proud pinoy, and a boxer.
Dude you gotta stop with these posts.

 

You can't count to two?

 

I don't get it..

I have never openly trashed a professional fighter. When I post, i try to imagine that I am sitting right in front of the man. Just out of respect... I would feel like a coward typing **** on the internet, discrediting world champions. Especially looking like Pinoy, if that is in fact him? I bet my wife could beat him up.

 

RJJ in his prime was simply god-like and you'd have to be an idiot or a hater to not see that.

 

Nah Jones is placed where he should be. Roy beat an ATG in Hopkins, a near great in Toney, and many elite fighters (Hill, Tarver, Gonzalez, Griffin, etc). He won a Heavyweight title coming up from Middleweight. He has also challenged himself, something a ***** like Mayweather has not done [hell a fighter like Sosa who Roy bombed out Mayweather would avoid like the plague (talking comparable fighter, not actually Sosa)].

I'd only say he is overrated if you Jones is proclaimed the G.O.A.T., which he is not. BUT I would say he is a great fighter.

 

Couldent have said it better myself . It was almost like watching Magic in a ring .

 

Even a blind man can see RJJ was the best of his era. He's devalued his legacy by continuing to fight probably because he lost all his money foolishly.

 

Loudon's posts on page 3. End thread. Hellen Keller would've been able to recognize that this thread is absolutely ****ed....like every other one trying to discredit RJJ through blind hate/jealousy and agendas. Yeah mandatories, former, current, and future world champions, HOF'ers and two ATG's are cab drivers and garbage men. Learn something about the sport. You don't get to the level of those opponents by being a BUM. Roy simply made them look ordinary. On another level until he foolishly yo yo'ed in weight at an age where that can seriously harm your physical attributes. Anyone who has ever played a high level sport, been an elite athlete, or trained seriously in their lives will agree with that unless they have mental disabilities. He should've moved no lower than CW after ruiz. In his prime, incredible. Past prime, a sad example of not knowing when to quit.

 

Because in his prime, RJJ did things that no other boxer on this planet was able to do. At his peak he was P4P an ATG.

I don't need to look at Boxrec to judge Roy, nor do I let the end of his career change who he was in his prime.

One of the most gifted boxers I've ever watched.

 

It never ceases to amaze me how little emphasis the posters on here place on whether a fighter is clean or not. Roy Jones is a cheat, he is boxing equivalent to Lance Armstrong yet blinded fanboys just want to sweep it under the carpet as though its an insignifcant aspect.

 

It never ceases to amaze me how people who play the PED card when discrediting fighters are too far down the rabbit hole in outright denial to realize that some of their favorite fighters were using as well. It's COMMON. Fact. Get over it.

 

delusional steroid apologist in the house :dead

why, which of my favourite fighters were using them? :nut

.....or high level athletics, obviously. It's commonplace, and i'm willing to bet a portion of the fighters you like are "dirty". I don't need names. It's a foregone conclusion. Remove your head from the sand.

Apologist...more like realist. Buy a clue. No amount of posturing or patheitc holier than thou morality on PEDs from you will change the fact they are used by a healthy percentage of elite boxers. More than just the tests say.

Continue living in the land of denial. Willful ignorance and a steadfast refusal to face the truth doesn't lend credibility to your PED crusades. It's a level playing field out there.

 

Just because american sport is riddled with cheating PED users, do not tar everybody with the same brush.

Real greats like Sir Bradley Wiggins and Sir Joe Calzaghe wouldn't dream of cheating like absolute ****ing disgraces ( though Joe did like a line or 2 in his retirement . . . . . . LAD!!).

 

Continued denial. Tons of british, and euro fighters (especially old bloc countries) have and do use. Legally speaking, Peds are much more accessible on that side of the pond. And in sports culture, many countries have and do consider them part of the training regime. Arguing over this won't change someone like yourselfs' mind. I happen to be pretty accurate in my assertions, and you are not.
