    I scored it 8-4 to Merchant, based on ring generalship and effective aggression

    That was no fight.

    It was Merchant once again telling it like it is.

    Frazier was a cop for **** sake.

    Larry's slugged it out with quite a few people.....Hopkins, Mayweather, Jones, Lennox, and even that random guy who tried to interrupt an interview.

    Well, Roy will be dead soon, as he wants to fight Wlad or Haye before he retires.... I wonder if there is any shot of these coming to fruition, because I'd at last watch.

    That was hilarious

    Merchant should of interviewed Collins, who was in the background. Jones did come across as very arrogant as well

    Glass Jaw Roy fought a disgraceful list of opponents. He handpicked just about everyone he fought and his Mandatory fights were atrocious. Roy knew if he were to risk it with anyone with a pulse that fragile Glass Mandible was getting shattered.

    welcome back rico

    I have to agree, this was the year after he vacated his wbc belt to avoid fighting Nunn. The following year, he would write letters to the ibf to avoid Tarver. I also caught the fact that Merchant said that Darius was willing to come to America to fight Jones

    It really just shows how arrogant he was during his prime, now he is on the slide his willing to take all kinds of high risk fights. He should of done that back in the day

    Wow! You forgot to mention that Frazier was Roy's mandatory and they threatened to strip him of his title if he didn't face him! He should said **** the title but he was obsessed with belts at the time which don't mean **** now in boxing!

    Nunn was also Jones mandatory and Jones vacated the belt to avoid fighting him

    Cringeworthy. When put on the spot regarding his rivals, Jones just replied with nonsensical yelling.
