It's funny how everyone wants to hate on Roy Jones now that he's washed up

    I hope Roy beats Hopkins' ass. That would be sweet.

    Duran is Duran but he also lost to William Joppy when he was in his 40's did that tarnish his legacy ? No ,the man publically quit in the rematch with Leonard did that tarnish his all time great status ? No so why am I going to knock Jones' legacy for his losses ???

    Durans quitting made me less of a fan, hence my bias taking over in rankings him worse.....

    Of course his last 10 fights factor in, maybe not for yourself but for future generations, it shows the lack of longevity.

    In his prime he will always be one of the most gifted H2H and a bonefied ATG, what more do you want?

    Don't go preaching to me about Duran.

    What the you yappin about anyway!!! What's yer point about Roy in this thread??? No one's knocking Roy here, the simple & obvious fact is that no one in there right mind should want to see Roy in the ring again.

    Actually I just realised, 10 fights ago he was undefeated, that's why you don't want them factored in, how ridiculous, yeah lets just rank guys upto the point they are defeated, absurd.

    So one moment of out of charector split second madness in New Orleans made you less of a fan did it!!! Not me!!

    Don't yer think he redeemed himself after that episode of self-inflicted humiliation to come back in his 30's well out of hi natural weight class & beat Moore then become the only lightweight to fight the superbeast Hagler at 160 & go the 15 just to get pipped by a few rounds, get blasted out in 2 by Hearns & then become the only Lightweight champ in history at 37 to win the 160 crown from the man who KO'd the man who KO'd him

    SO you're a lesser fan because of New Orleans where he told that running dog Leonard to in effect **** off as 5 months earlier he handed Leonard his arse by beating the crap out of him & becoming only the 2nd Lightweight in History after armstrong to succesfully navigate the path to the WW title & beating the accepted P4P champ Leonard into the bargain.

    So know one gets a 2nd chance with you then, there ai'nt a man alive that has'nt made an impulsive loon decision done in haste that he don't regret but everyone should get a 2nd chance.

    He probably doesnt have to plan ahead and pick up anti-impotence drugs when he thinks he has a shot at getting laid though.
