    Would Roy have fought LL ,I think so would he have got killed in the process I think so ..But I highly doubt either man feared the other.


    And Holyfield actually turned down a fight with Roy ..His ego would have put him in the ring against any of these guys but the mass would have been too much for him..Oh and no version of Shannon Brigs beats Roy come on now.

    Roy would not even fight Nigel Benn. why will he fight a 6'5 245 Pound superior version of Benn?

    Shannon Briggs would have beaten Roy. We talking about a 230 Pound 6'4 heavyweight with brutal KO Power and a never say die heart. He will literally walk any version of Roy down and knock him out. What can Roy do? He is not dancing around Briggs for the 6 rounds he need for Briggs to run out of stamina.. Briggs got shattering power .. if half the punches Ruiz landed on Roy was from Briggs. Roy would have been badly hurt.

    Briggs actually has pretty fast hands and can throw some pretty hard counters while moving back.. Brigg's hand speed is severely underrated, there is no way Roy will not get caught within 6 rounds.

    I will love to hear your theory on how Roy can beat Prime Shannon Briggs.

    One thing I notice about the Calzaghe vs Roy posters is that the vast majority of you are great at posting boxrec information and long well written out detailed posts regarding your fighters careers and various break downs of rankings.. but none of you can actually break down an actual fight.

    Saying Roy can beat Shannon Briggs is ****ing absurd. He will get knocked out.

    Did you even read the link, and what I'd wrote?

    Did I say Roy would have beaten Lennox? No!

    Did I say Lennox had ducked him? No!

    Lennox was more than up for the fight BEFORE he fought Vitali.

    Did Lennox or Manny Steward mention anything about retiring, or only having a only a few more fights going into the Vitali fight? No they didn't.

    Lennox beat Vitali, but it was a lot harder than he imagined, and he knew afterwards it was time to let go.

    He could have rematched Vitali for millions. The whole ****ing boxing world wanted a rematch.

    The fight with Roy would have made even more than the Vitali fight.

    Early 2003, Lennox and Manny were more than willing to face Roy. Late 2003, he made the decision to retire, and he publicly announced it early in 2004.

    Do some research.

    Roy approached Lennox, and Lennox said he was definitely going to retire, and Roy gave him his best wishes.

    Nobody was ducking anyone. Lennox felt it was time to let go, and Roy and everyone else respected his wish.

    So stop twisting my words, and try to take this information on board.

    What you think would have happened between the two, is NOT relevant to what I'm telling you.

    Again with this Benn crap ,right because Roy was afraid of Benn:patsch


    Briggs is front runner the man has poor stamina Roy would have made him work and gas out .He'd be tap dancing all over Briggs .

    And don't ever compare me to the boxing rec warriors ..The majority of which are Calzaghe fans !


    Briggs had fast hand :lol:against whom ? Thats a good one ..

    Laughable.

    1- Stop lying about Vitali rematch. Nobody wanted to see that. VItali fights on Epix. HBO was trying to hype him up as the next Tyson but failed. HBO lied about people wanting a rematch.. the only people that wanted a rematch were Klittards.

    Vitali is a EPIX Fighter. Lennox is a 1 million+ PPV SuperStar.

    Old Shot Lewis was on his way to knocking Vitali the **** out.

    2- The way you write it make it sound like Lewis ducked ROy

    Think about it

    You said
    Did I say Lennox had ducked him? No!

    Than right after that you said

    The fight with Roy would have made even more than the Vitali fight.

    Early 2003, Lennox and Manny were more than willing to face Roy. Late 2003, he made the decision to retire, and he publicly announced it early in 2004.

    Do some research.

    Roy approached Lennox, and Lennox said he was definitely going to retire,

    Which is a nice way of saying Lewis ducked Roy. Which is laughable.That **** is entertaining as hell. LEWIS would have put Roy into a coma.


    What is this Roy approach Lennox ****.
    Roy was NOT going to fight Lennox even if Lennox said Yes.. What the **** :D:rofl

    Dude Roy won't even fight NIGEL BENN :nut:nut

    yet he's going to risk his VERY LIFE to fight Lennox? :rofl


    Did you know what people called Roy?

    Cautious Roy.

    He was cautious for a reason..

    Roy Jones Jr himself stated numerous times he was NEVER going to fight a super heavyweight like Lennox.. he wanted to target someone like Holyfield because Holyfield was shot and smaller. (Lennox was shot too, but Shot Lennox>than Shot Holyfield and more dangerous)


    Look I'm not saying Roy is a bad fighter. He's a good/very good fighter. But the idea of Lennox retiring to 'avoid Roy' is laughable and that's exactly what you implied in your semi laughable post.

    Why the **** are you in here? Pacquaio is winning the Poll. Your interest in this thread should be restricted to randomly checking in to see if Pacquaio is still leading. Don't even post.

    BRC: Do you think Roy Jones Jr. ducked Nigel Benn?


    JS: Yes, I think Roy Jones ducked Benn,who he feels is a threat. I don't think Roy likes to get hit, even in fights where the other guy is way overmatched Roy seems to be very cautious. Because of that, he's became a very dull fighter and I think anyone who has any punching skills at all at a tough time getting a fight with Roy Jones Jr. I feel he's afraid he's going to get hit and end up like Jerry Quarry, and it has really tainted his boxing career.


    Roy never wanted to end up like his friend.. hence the ducking of Benn. Ironically after he suffered his first coma inducing Knock Out.. he threw caution to the wind. maybe he decided he liked getting hit after all :think

    You know less than nothing about boxing.

    Your last line proves that.

    Your brain tells you that Johnson and Tarver knocked him out, and as Lewis obviously hit much much harder, then Lewis would have knocked his head off.

    Ruiz was 16 and a half stone, and he hit much much harder than Johnson.

    The version of Roy that fought Glen Johnson, was not he version that fought Ruiz.

    Before the fight with Vitali, NOBODY would have given Roy a chance to beat Lennox. But afterwards, people came around to the idea.

    Either Lampley or Foreman thought it was possible.

    Lennox looked old and slow.

    You're too ignorant to take anything on board.

    Now look at the facts.

    Lennox would have made millions and millions of dollars fighting Roy.

    Again, early 2003, he thought it would be an easy nights work for huge money.

    He said "Roy is a great fighter, but fighting me would be a bridge too far."

    So at that point he was more than confident.

    Then after Vitali, he retired.

    So work it out.

    In March he thought Roy would be easy.

    In September he retired.

    That was an awful lot of money to turn down.

    So this tells us that Lennox didn't have the confidence in Sept, as what he'd had in March.

    He obviously didn't think Roy would be easy in the end, and I know this, otherwise he'd have taken the fight.

    It's not beyond the realms of possibility, to suggest that Roy COULD have beaten THAT version of Lennox. Roy's speed would have caused Lennox huge problems at that STAGE.

    It's irrelevant what Glen Johnson did the year after.

    Lewis turned down a multi million dollar offer to fight Jones.

    Apart from Vitali , Lewis only ever fought guys on the way down and never on the way up.

    Extremly overrated. He ducked Herbie Hide.
