Bert Sugar On Roy Jones And His Legacy

Yeah but he predicted a couple of upsets like Pac-Oscar and Mosley-Margo and I respect him for that. He is a funny old guy

 

'93 or '94 Wbc champ(MW) Gerald McClellan, '94 Wbc champ(MW)
(after McClellan vacated) Julian Jackson, '94 or '95(SM) Wba champ Frankie Liles, '95 Wbc (SM)champ Nigel Benn '97 (LHW) IBF/WBA champ Dariusz Michalczewski. Roy Jones had options in his prime but (similar to Mayweather) for whatever reason chose the path with the least resistance, so his place in history could be much higher.

 

One positive about the decline of Boxing is that there will be less Bert Sugars. Boxing historians are only a few slots above kiddie porn producers on my list.

yeah ****n right

 

How does anyone mistake Hopkins for being just "borderline"? He's a bonafide All-Time Great.

 

Bert Sugar is like an historian version of Roach,two reporters ask him the same question and he gives two completely different answers to both.

 

Solid post.

 

Summed up beautifully. :good

Agreed.

 

LOL I love how people like to discredit Roys resume. When he came from 154 beat champs, future ATGs and #1 contenders his whole career all the way to capturing a heavyweight title.

I wanna know exactly who he was suppose to fight.
Outside of DM there isnt really any1 I can think of who you can say he really ducked him.
Roy was fighting bigger men his whole career, champs @ that in higher weight classes off other fighters for it.

 

Shouldn't you have bigger problems to worry about than Roy Jones, like your pinhead and erectile dysfunction for starters you massive ****.

 

A lot of the "bums" Roy destroyed and showcased some of the best boxing talent ever seen, fought close fights and sometimes beat some of the fighters Roy "ducked"

And since those fighters did not show any huge interest in fighting Roy, I have to side with Roy.... He was just the better fighter, and will go down in history as a great, while the people he "ducked" will not.

Even if he had beat a Eubank or Benn, I can already hear it..... They would have been past their best.... Idiots would have always found a way to discredit Roy..

Based on who he DID beat, which counts for much more than who he didn't, he is a sure all time great.:yep
