Criticizing Jones' resume

It's just butthurt, racist, Americans who hug the nuts of any American fighter because they're paranoid that a white European will be regarded as better.

 

he defiantly ducked collins

 

So I will state it again. You claimed it was reported that Rochigianni was reported to be drinking heavily and out of shape.
Why claim unfounded runours are reports if you are not trying to slander someone?

Kery davis was either lying or only telling half the story. The fact that Rochigianni was forced to drag Murad to court should tell you that. It was then that Jones agreed to make the fight and then killed it at the first chance he got.

He was telling half truths there also. I would later post a interview in which Jones stated himself that Peter Kohl offer of 5m was unaceptable.

This has to be the third time I have posted this article up for you now

He abused his contract surely you are not going to deny that?

When HBO agreed to pay the ludicrous sum of $5m for a Jones fight then they effectively killed any chance of a DM fight ever taking place.

Who did he fight that was better than Roch?
Toney and after that you are going to struggle
And for the record Rochigianni was a much better fighter than Liles.

He would of been at least his 2nd best win at lhw. Roch was better than R.Johnson(past prime), Harding (green), Hill(past prime) and (post Futch) Griffin

Then he would of had a good win on his resume.

I cant speak for the Calzaghe fanboys

 

This post highlights your own views

 

They both fought alot of nobodies while milking their long term contracts. It's the reason that neither Showtime or HBO give long terms contracts out anymore.

What are you referring to?

 

Calzaghe also ducked a lot of fighters but no one here seems to notice that

 

I checked it out yesterday and the thread was moved and even the title was somewhat changed ..But then it was moved back


HBO is to blame for the defenses against Ricky. Friazer I did agree with that guess why Floyd also never got that big contract but when it came to. Jones and. Joe Joe fought more nobodies than anyone

 

If you give a fighter 9 fight options with the opponents to be named at a later date then you are just asking for trouble. Showtime got a lot of Pudwills, Ashiras and Staries. F.W himself said it was basically Larkin that protected Calzaghe because after Larkin was sacked Showtime dropped Calzaghe.

HBO themselves got burned time and time again with Jones. Jones fights with Harmon, Kelly and Woods cost the network a total of 15m, which explains why they now offer only 3 fight deals

 

Who did Calzaghe duck?

 

Rocchiagni would stand absolutely no chance whatsoever against prime Roy Jones Jr. He has almost no notable wins except a disputed SD over a faded Michael Nunn, who incidentally was KOed is prime by a green James Toney.

He had a draw with .. Frederic Sellier. Is Sellier another killer that Jones Ducked? Roch lost to Eubank, a guy who said on film recently that he never chased Jones because fighting Jones would be quote unquote "suicide". Let that sink in a moment.

Roch's second best win is arguably his points win over Thulani Malinga, a guy that Jones toyed with and KOed in spectacular fashion.

Get out of here with this utter nonsense. Review the film. Go watch RJJ in his prime. Use your eyes. Open them up and observe. And stop bringing up total nonentities who fought in Germany and lost all his big fights.

 

Graciano Rocchiagni: stiff, slow-footed, fighting behind a high guard. This guy is going to trouble prime RJJ?

get out of here! Open your eyes.

Hey KillSomething,

Question for you. Do you think the South Korean had a pretty good argument for getting the gold medal in the 88 olympics? You think the Park Si-Hun deserved it, don't you. You think it was a close fight but that Park Si-Hun landed the cleaner blows.

 

There is a clear and concise documented history between HBO and Jones that he was ducking fights. Jones is the sole reason HBO changed their multi-fight deals so other fighters could not rip them and the fans off with meaningless fights. To dispute this is irrational.

Jones took the path of least resistance his whole career. He didn't want to fight the best or take risks and it is hurting his image/legacy as time goes on. That is something Roy and his fans will have to deal with. He has nobody to blame but himself. The fights were there for him to take. He chose not to.

 

Yeah I remember that Jones made out like a bandit ..Seems the. Maywetaher formula is similar .


Do you think the fact that Roy had no major promoter is the reason for some of those defenses? Seems to the be route with guys that aren't tied to a big promoter
