You're one of the biggest Roid nuthuggers on this site. You always have been. Your man crush on Roid is even more nauseating than the wretched glass jaw the gods cursed your idol Roid with.
Roid says in this interview that he would never not fight someone if they came to him and called him out mano et mano. ''If you come to the champ and call him out man to man, how can you turn him down and call yourself a real champ if you don't accept their challenge'' --Roy Jones Jr. [YT]X7AXvP-HdUQ[/YT] Well Ireland's finest Steve ''The Celtic Collins literally flew half way across the world over to Roid's backyard to do exactly that. He crashed his post-fight interview and practically begged him to man-up and fight him but Roid clearly wanted no part of him. [YT]G0Erh4RKbHE[/YT] An Irish fighter named John Reid shattered Roy's disgraceful steroid enhanced glass mandible in the amateurs. September 1986 - Roy Jones Jr L-RSC3 John Reid (Ireland) [Dublin, Ireland] Listen to another fighter of Irish extraction (''Irish'' Bobby Gunn) call out Roy at the 2:30 mark of that video. Coincidentally Gunn also goes by the moniker ''The Celtic Warrior''. Roy categorically promises to fight him only to once again pull the duck. Steve Collins is still begging for Jones to locate his ***** and to man-up and fight him to this day, but ''Reluctant Roy'' is still running scared of the ''The Celtic Warrior''. Funny how he doesn't have a problem fighting part-time sanitation workers and Egyptian street vendors but won't go anywhere near ''The Celtic Warrior'' despite the fact that he's only fought once in 17 years, in an unlicensed bout against a shot to shit Neville Brown. [YT]I1cLwJgLQmA[/YT] [YT]L9_171vbhRg[/YT] ''Reluctant Roy'' keeps on clucking and a ducking like his roosters. :yep
I understand! atsch What could be done about it? The only thing to settle it, would have been to fight. But if you compare their resumes, and look at who they fought and when, and the manner of their victories, then to me, Roy was the best LHW in the world.
Collins called Roid out again (decades later) during that Sky Sports SMW feature too, again right to his face, and Roy is still ducking the challenge. Roid didn't even know Collins was going to be there. He thought it was going to be him, Joe, Eubank, Woodhall and Nigel Benn. I doubt he would've showed up at all had he known beforehand that Collins was going to be sitting across the table from him. Roid clearly never had any intentions of stepping within a 1000 mile radius of Collins if there was a boxing ring and two pairs of gloves to be found within. And why is Roid still ducking ''The Celtic Warrior'' now even though the guy has only fought once in 17 years and has passed all the relevant medical tests with flying colours. "All the medicals are good and actually I'm a lot healthier than I expected and I've got really, really good results from the vision. My brain scan was described as being excellent so everything's very good, yeah. Healthy old thing you know." You do know that John Reid, aka the Irish amateur who shattered Roid's pitiful Tiffany glass mandible whilst wearing reinforced pillows and head guards, actually knew Collins don't you? They actually fought in the finals of Irish national championships a couple of times, not against each other though. They both campaigned at different weights. Collins fought at 75kg and Reid fought down at 67kg and 71kg. 1985 67kg John Reid Brendan O'Hara PTS 75kg Samuel Storey Steve Collins PTS 1986 71kg Kieran Joyce John Reid PTS 75kg Steve Collins Henry Byrne PTS >>September 1986 - Roy Jones Jr (USA) L-RSC3 John Reid (Ireland)<< So Roid obviously would've been keenly aware they knew each other and therefore that Collins also would've known his (Roid's) little dark secret too, ie. that Superman wasn't quite as super as the US PR spin merchants had lead everyone to believe. Collins knew full well long before the rest of the world found out that Roid's chin was forged out of the most brittle substance found on planet Earth, even during his prime years when it was artificially augmented with all those steroids he was on. In this interview Roid says ''The Celtic Warrior'' mark II Bobby Gunn was next. He swore to him he was next in line after Gunn called him out. He gave him his word and then ran over to Russia to fight an Algerian fishmonger who nobody even in Algeria or France had ever heard of. Listen to the interview again. [YT]X7AXvP-HdUQ[/YT] Gunn was extremely reverential towards Roid during it. Said Roid was his idol and that all his family loved Roid more than they loved him. The only reason he wanted to fight him is because he was desperate for the cash because he had a young sick daughter to care for. Look how crestfallen and disappointed he is with Roy now. He sounds like a broken man now. 'Was it tough in training camp when you had to train for a different style after Glen replaced Roy? Bobby Gunn: It was more of a personal let down. I put a lot of weight into the fellow taking this fight (Roy Jones). He gave me his word and he didn't come through. Here is the bottom line. when the bell rings every plan that you train for can go out the door. It is a fight. It doesn't really make a difference in the style change. It is going to be a dog fight. Styles make fights and if anything we are two fighters looking to fight. You don't have to come looking for us. I think it is going to be a better fight for the fans and boxing world. What do you think about Roy Jones Jr taking your "Winner takes all" idea to Russia for that fight? Bobby Gunn: Bottom line is that I threw that out and he never came through with the challenge. If your a proper fighting man you better back it up because I am coming to fight. I am not one of those guys making youtube video and making a fool out of myself. My fights speak for itself. I have fought the best out there and if you know me I come to fight. Whatever he is doing I wish him the best and I hope he wins his fight. If it was in the streets I would have went through him quickly and if it was in the ring I would have knocked him out.'
/thread. Basically I've just owned every single Roid fan, nuthugger and cum guzzler in it. Mods shut this shit before we have a mass suicide on our hands.
The writer of that article - Pat Jordan, has obviously just made that assumption, based on the fact that Michael was a LHW weighing 175, before he moved up to HW. Here is an excerpt from one of Mackie's books. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id...a=X&ei=KUa4VNCBNcrX7QaBhoDwDA&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA :good
If Roy doesn't deserve any credit for winning the WBA, HW title from Ruiz, then I give up. Again, if we applied your criteria, hardly anyone would have achieved anything. There's nothing else to say. Joe Calzaghe won the vacant WBO, SMW title, and defended it numerous times. Was that meaningless?
