Watching this made me realize (Roy Jones jr.)

1) Prior to the turn of the 21st century, the WBO belt was not regarded as an actual world championship by anyone who wasn't rooting for a fighter who held one.

2) WBO titleholders were not even listed as champions in Ring Magazine the way WBA/WBC/IBF beltholders were. It was given no more respect than the WBF or something like that is given now.

3) Some ****** may try to tell you that nationalism has something to do with this. This is, of course, horse****.

4) When Lennox Lewis held the undisputed heavyweight championship, no one in the US cared that he didn't have the WBO belt. He was still undisputed.

5) Conversely, even when huge US stars like Oscar De La Hoya briefly held WBO belts in the nineties, they were still not regarded as legitimate championships.

6) Nobody outside of the British Isles ever regarded guys like Eubank or Collins (or Calzaghe, for most of his career) as world champions in the first place. Nobody was in a hurry to fight them, fans did not demand fights with them, because they were stay-at-homes without real belts.

7) Deal with it.

 

This.

Roy Jones is the best fighter to ever be recorded on film. Deal with it.

 

****ing Euros :rofl

 

:deal

 

Lamotta's win over Robinson tops every win any fighter has ever had since.

Your theory is flawed.

 

He looked great against cab drivers

Amazing reflexes...freak of nature indeed, the guy is a drugs cheat. Lets not forget.

 

How in the hell is that relevant?

 

Nah. A lot more comparable to an Ali or Ray Leonard.

 

What is this bull****? what the **** does the WBO have to do with legitimate criticisms of Jones?

 

He is the naseem hamed of the higher weights but with no chin

 

Roy Jones Jr... (or should I say ROID Jones Jr ammirite? ) was a coward who ducked fights with Benn, Calzaghe and Collins.

Fact.

He or his management team, just didn't want the big American boxer of the time to get defeated by a European fighter. He was a coward who ducked fights and a drugs cheat. I lolled when Calzaghe cut this overrated, overhyped clown open

 

Ha! Just PLEASE tell me that your trolling and having a laugh.

If you're not, you need urgent Psychiatric help.

 

Nope, I don't like cowards. Any fighter who ducks another loses my respect unless there is a legitimate excuse.

Roid Jones Jr was a coward who ducked euro fighters. Fact.

He was also a drugs cheat, another type of person I have no respect for. Fact.

 

What about the following?

Castro
Malinga
Tate
Toney
Griffin II
Hill
Reggie Johnson
Woods
Gonzalez
Ruiz

He looked GREAT against all of those.

I suppose they were cab drivers too?

 

Roy ducked/dismissed Collins.

Eubank has openly admitted that he never chased the big fights.

You can have a whole page full of links if you wish, on the lengths that Roy's advisors and HBO went to, to try and make a fight with Dariusz.

Nigel Benn was a Don King fighter, and according to Roy wanted a three fight option on him. Fred and Stan Levin, who were Roy's handlers at the time, did not want to deal with Don King. It's called boxing politcs.

Joe Calzaghe as explained yesterday, fought in a different weight class, and in a different country, and showed no desire to chase Roy down for the fight.

Let's stick to facts.

Joe had a 15 year fight career.

Apart from a brief period between 94-96 when Joe was in his early 20's, he NEVER fought in the same division as Roy, up until his final year in 2008.

For around 12 years of Joe's 15 fight career, he fought in a different weight class.

You can't duck someone who's unknown on the world stage, who fights in a different weight class.

What don't you understand?

Roy was the best fighter in the World fighting at 175.

Joe fought in Europe defending his WBO belt at 168.

How could it have been a duck?

When Roy was at his peak, Joe was a NOBODY!

Joe could have moved up to 175 and gone to America years before he eventually did in 2002.

But he didn't!

I suppose Roy aso ducked Sven Ottke?
