You haven't responded to any of my points. There could never have been a SMW unification between Roy and Collins. The clear number 1 and 2 in the division going at it? Seems like unifying a division to me. Collins beating Benn wasn't great. The way he did it? I've got to disagree. Joe was never a two weight world champ. Hopkins never lost IBO belt, he vacated it. He was still the champ. Do you support politics making sub-par fights instead of the boxers themselves choosing their career paths? It seems you do. You can't criticise Roy's career path, while at the same time giving praise to Joe. Joe unified his weight division, moved up in weight and beat the MAN at LHW. Jones never did this. Any other questions?
He was HANDED a HW title. He sure as hell didn't beat any other heavyweights at the time to ya'kno, gain a ranking. Politics seemed to have played apart of the entirety of Jones' career. All Jones did was beat perhaps a top ten ranked HW in Ruiz who himself was handed a title shot. This whole thing would be the equivalent of this. Wilder somehow knocks out Stiverne, Hopkins beats Kovalev and moves up to HW to fight Wilder and merely out-box him for 12 rounds and then proclaiming himself HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.
It is obvious you are not willing to give Roy credit for anything... And believe it or not, before Ruiz-Jones actually happened it was viewed as a risk for Roy... After Roy made it look so easy, people were actually giving him a chance against Lennox. Roy wasn't handed anything, it was impressive what he did against Ruiz. It wasn't until after Roy dropped weight and got knocked out that his effectiveness as a top HW was thought of as a joke.... .
Hindsight is 20-20.. But yes, many people were entertaining the idea of Roy beating Lennox. It wasn't until Roy moved back down to LHW before people decided he would have had no chance.
Hahahah Lewis would have put Jones into a coma. I'm not saying that for laughs and giggles. I mean it. AN ACTUAL COMA. Tua, Vitali, Wlad, Golota, shot to **** Tyson... Fresh from the Olympics Audley Harrison would have beat him. VALUEV? Would have eaten him. Corrie? Another COMA Byrd? humiliated .HASIM RAHMAN? Bodybag.
You don't seem to comprehend very well.. I really believe you are a mental midget, and am no longer going to waste any time with you.
I comprehend perfectly fine thanks. "Mental midget" Name calling is the last resort of somebody who lost an argument. I'd go as far to say actual mental midgets resort to name calling to put their point across. Cheerio.
Lost an argument?? I have proven you very wrong many times in this thread.. You are not even a challenge.. and for all I know were in diapers when Roy was prime. Sorry, but your lack of brains and boxing knowledge has been tracked around like dog **** on a shoe every time you post. I am not resorting to name calling, I am just finally fed up trying to get through to you, and the reason I say lack of brains is because you blatantly ignore facts that have been presented before you by more educated posters.
The "Roy rage" is mighty in this one. Sorry to shatter your dreams about your God being a mere mortal as you and I. You've proven nothing wrong. I've proven the career paths Jones took to become HW champion of the world. You was one of those believers who thought Jones could beat Lewis, wasn't you? Is that why you've turned violent? Also, I'm not even a challenge! I never knew we was in a competition buddy. I'm just stating my opinion here on an internet forum and you're upset I disagreed with yours and have now thrown a temper tantrum. And your final point is another insult? Bravo... You mental midget. Cheerio part 2
Roy rage Perhaps I have got in wrong, and you are a smart, educated person creatively trolling on an alt account?:think
Q. What's a better win Hopkins beating Tarver or Dawson beating Adamek? Hopkins fought Joe in March 2008 Dawson fought Johnson in March 2008 and went on to dominate the division until recently. I'll ask you another Q If Joe never retired would Dawson have dominated that division? Answer honestly.
