Jones Hoya Trinidad Lewis Morales appreciation thread

Love for Erik and not Barrera? **** that. Sort your thread out.

...You're right though, their first fight was unbelievably good...the best there ever has been as far as I'm concerned. Humbles me.

 

Nah. I'm a fan of both.

 

A few stick out

• Hoya rallyinging in the 12th against Quartey
• Jones beating Ruiz
• Trinidad destroying Joppy
• Hoya's LA pitch battle with Shane
• Hoya ripping Vargas a new *******
• AND Barrera vs. Morales 1 - BEST FIGHT EVER

PS - Great movie in your avatar....

 

no american should post any appreciation for lennox lewis, they mocked him, heckled him, and doubted him until the very end, until there was no-one in the heavyweight division left standing and then they be-grudgingly gave him a pat on the back :deal

 

How can you not be a fan of both? they're ****ing brilliant, both of them.

 

:good Correct on all accounts.

 

my favourite moment of jones was when a shot to **** joe calzaghe came to jones' backyard and despite corrupt officiating delivered one of the biggest beatdowns ever witnessed in an american ring. calzaghe didn't beat jones through power on his fragile glass jaw, he 'lacyied' a proven anabolic steroid drug cheat with pure boxing skill. the gulf in class was HUGE :vonnecunt

my favourite lennox lewis moment was when he spent his whole career fighting in america, trying to prove himself to people who heckled him, mocked him, and doubted him his entire career simply because he didn't have an american passport. my favourite moment was when he finally cornered undisputed champion evander holyfield in the ring after being ducked by bowe and tyson in his persistant attempts to fulfill his dream of becoming undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. then after a thorough beating of holyfield that could only be scored by 9 rounds to 3 by any sane person, america proceded to robb lennox lewis of the greatest moment of his career. i loved that moment because it perfectly symbolised the relationship between lennox lewis and america :deal

Jones did not use "anabloic steroids" and if you have proof of that then let's see it. There was a steroid derivitive within an "over the counter" product called Ripped Fuel, which is used to cut weight, and Jones had no idea that it was a banned substance. It also came prior to his fight against Richard Hall. Are we to believe Jones needed steroids to beat Hall? Any other proof of Jones taking steroids? Didn't thinks so! You're a biased fat ***** who needs to come up for air!

Your analysis of Calzaghe and Jones is too ridiculous to respond to.

Agreed with Lewis on a couple of points but even that's laced with complete crap. Go overdose on Twinkys you fat ****!

 

This American always appreciated Lennox Lewis. He's always been my favorite fighter.

Manny Pacquiao has only been suspected of using steroids – and the media has blown it so far out of proportion, some wonder if the baseless charges could actually be true. Back in 2000, Roy Jones really did test positive and admitted to using steroids, however the mainstream sports media barely touched that red-hot story, for mysterious reasons.
The Jones situation only came to light after his 2000 Indianapolis opponent Richard Hall inadvertantly revealed the fact in a 2003 interview with Braggingrightscorner.com’s Alladin Freeman. I picked up on the story, contacted Indiana State commissioner Jacob Hall, who unequivocally stated Jones did indeed test positive, but the blockbuster story never really broke big like you might have expected, compared to the Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Ben Johnson, Shane Mosley and Marion Jones controversies.
Here’s the original story which was posted at BoxingInsider.com in 2003. Note the double standard in how the media has avalanched on the Pacquiao-Mayweather war of words, yet virtually ignored the fact of Jones testing positive. (Don’t believe it? Google search Roy Jones and Steroids and see what you find.)
Roy Jones Did Test Positive, Steroids
By Scoop Malinowski (Story was originally posted in 2003.)
Richard Hall’s astonishing claims – that Roy Jones, possibly the greatest fighter in ring history – tested positive for steroids after their May 2000 fight, have now been confirmed today by Jacob Hall, the Commissioner of Indiana Boxing.
Here is our exclusive interview.
Boxinginsider.com: Did Roy Jones test positive after his fight against Richard Hall?
Jacob Hall: “Both of them did. Roy Jones tested positive for steroids. He was five or six times over an acceptable level. Hall was about ten times above an acceptable level. He didn’t mention that in his interview (the now infamous interview of July 18 with Bragging Rights Corner and Doghouse Boxing).
A letter was sent to both (Jones and Hall). The Indiana Boxing Commission followed up – I talked to Jones’ people and said we were going to declare the fight a no-contest, suspend and fine him. And at that time, Jones’ attorney Fred Levin and the Indiana Attorney General’s office got involved.
Indiana has no law on drug testing as probably the majority of the states in the U.S. do not. The drug testing company sent us the results. Most states that don’t have drug testing laws, the test results go back to the sanctioning bodies. I think most people are surprised at that. What do the sanctioning bodies do when they get positive test results? Suspend? Fine? They didn’t in this case. And there’s no way you’re going to know about it.
Through his attorney, Jones admitted he had been taking an over-the-counter product called Ripped Fuel. That’s not illegal but it is an anabolic steroid according to the IBF and other other sanctioning bodies.
So he did test positive. He did take Ripped Fuel.
Whether that’s what he took or not we don’t know, but he did test positive and admitted to taking a steroid.
The IBF chose to do nothing. They wanted a second test to be done. But why take a second test when he failed the first one and admitted to taking a steroid? That’s where it ended.
No action was taken. Nobody did anything.
We couldn’t take action (because there is no drug testing law in the state of Indiana) but what we agreed to was before his next two fights, Roy Jones would submit the results to more drug tests to Indiana. One fight was in Louisiana and those results were negative. And the other was in California, and those results were negative.
What surprised me about this is that the IBF chose not to do anything. And I have documents…what I’m saying, I can back-up. So I’m not concerned with that.
