    Nallage was making it seem like Glass Jaw Roy was forced to fight Tarver 8 weeks after the Ruiz fight which is not true. Roy had plenty of time to adjust back to light heavyweight for the first Tarver fight and even more time for the second Tarver fight and then the Glen Johnson fight.

    That weight drain excuse does not fly.

    Maybe/Maybe not...

    However, I do know this.... Jones was hit with harder shots throughout his career than the two that KO'd him with Tarver and Johnson. And he took those shots pretty well. In fact, Ruiz (although not a heavy puncher for a HW) hit Jones harder than both of them and he wasnt faized. Ruiz hits harder than Johnson and Tarver.

    Ruiz can't punch ****. Sure he hits harder than Johnson and Tarver probably has very close to the power of Ruiz despite the weight difference.

    Ruiz was a handpicked opponent in a fight that resembled a glorified sparring session.

    :lol: Close to Ruiz?

    Jesus you hating has gone to a new low.


    You also realize Jones could never get the fight with LL who turned down the fight because he would gain nothing from it and didn't want a murder charge on his record.

    The guy came up as a middleweight. To fight any HW is a major accomplishment. You cant look down on him for never fighting Lewis. Thats just crazy.

    Going back to my point... If Ruiz hits harder and in fact did hit Roy with harder (and clean shots) in their fight, why was he not even fazed? Yet he was KO'd by two guys not known for their power?

    If he had a glass jaw, Ruiz would have KO'd him.

    :good

    In fact, didnt Jones challenge both Tyson and Lewis at that time? But since he couldnt get either fight he went back down to the **** talking Tarver.

    Not that Jones would have beaten either one of this guys but this is hardly an act of a cherry picker that Rico calls Roy.

    Roy is all talk. If it came down to it he would have never signed to fight tyson or Lennox at heavyweight. Hell, he would not even fight Chris Byrd at Heavyweight because he actually had some skill.

    How many times did Glass Jaw Roy say in his career he would fight someone only to either price himself out, claim the other guy was ducking him or go and fight a useless mandatory fight.

    We all saw what happened when Corrie Sanders called his bluff and signed that contract. :deal

    This is what I'm talking about. What excuses are you talking about? Jones didn't start training 8 months ago for a fight with Tarver after he beat Ruiz dumbass. He didn't even know if he would go back down to LHW at that time. Wait, first off, your first three sentences already shut you up lol. Second, my thread topic is not asking did the weight loss affect Roy after his FIRST fight with Tarver now is it pusshead? Third, so what Jones won the HW title 8 months ago.

    Jones was sitting around with a portion of the heavyweigt title, and during this time bouts were being discussed with Corrie Sanders and other guys. Fans kept asking what is Roy going to do. Maybe you weren't watching boxing then. Jones, during this time had a decision to make whether to relinquish the HW title, and take on his mandatory at LHW, or face being stripped. By the time Jones decided to relinquish the title, and agree to a fight with Tarver, he had a bit over 6 weeks. If you followed the sport, you would know this, but you are so busy talking doofus shite about glass jaws.

    There is no excuse in thinking the weight loss affected him as Jones told boxing fans how hard it was to take the weight off he gained for the Ruiz fight. If you followed the reports on both fighters on espn and HBO, you would've known this. Jones didn't start training 8 months ago for a fight with Tarver dummy. As far as Jones losing to Johnson, inactivity, ring rust, age, the damage from the weight loss imo, it finally caught up to him. It's easy to kick a man when he is down, but when Roy was winning, you weren't saying shite.

    You keep talking about hero's and nuthuggers because it is fun for your sorry ass to do, yet Jones and the other great so-called glass jaw boxers you have made fun of will be in the h.o.f. This is why NOBODY respects you as a poster. You don't know anything other than being the kid that you are and wanting to be heard lol.
