RJJ represents all that is wrong with boxing!

Roy Jones is an All Time Great. He Fought Toney, Hopkins and Taver! Not when they had to rely solely on their boxing know how to compensate for their lack of athleticism but when they had YOUTH. How can someone even post that? It is your opinion, you are entitled to it.

 

Jones just was just to egotistical to be great. He would price himself out of fights. Bob Arum said it best when he described Jones. He wasnt a promoter and he was lazy with that side of boxing. That is a promoter's job it to create villians for you and generate some interest. James Toney gathered all the interest in their first fight and Tarver gathered all the interest for his fight with Jones.
Jones didnt want to listen to anyone and now he's paying the price for it. He looked pathetic against Trinidad, slappin his stomach, shakin his hips. Trinidad started fighting as a welterweight and hadnt fought in almost two years. Yeah real impressive Roy

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:nut

 

Roy Jones is a bag of **** ... that may be a true depending on how the **** smell like.

Roy was definitely the most gifted fighter in his era and true ATG in
terms of skills. However as potential ATG his accomplishments and his cherry
picking of opponents fill his bag to the top with stinky cow ****.
You may not complain about his chin because it was not his fault
he born with a china glass but this attitude in and out ring is clearly filling his **** bandwagon.

 

Clearly I did not as I am questioning his ridiculous generalization of all fans of Manny Pacquiao. Clearly you missed the day at school when your teacher told you that ignorant generalizations are wrong.

 

Seems like half of these people tend to forget that maybe alot of these fighters wanted NOTHING to do with Jones in his prime and yes he was that great. I hate to tell you but more fighters ducked Jones then the another way around.

 

Why don't we ban these obvious trolls. atsch

 

Please explain with proof, who was available that he didn't fight?, how did he hurt the sport?

As far as I know he's bringing a major PPV very soon and brought some very good PPVs in the past as well. Fought John Ruiz for the Heavyweight title, fought Toney in his prime, Hopkins, Griffin x2, Tarver x3, Johnson, Hill and MANY others. He beat the best available if there is anyone missing please mention them and I'd like to discuss it with you.

 

Please mention who was available that he didn't fight, someone seriously risky. Don't tell me names like Benn and Eubank, with all do respect to those guys I think it's pretty easy to guess what the result would have been, even those were offered and turned it down.

Names of fighters he could have fought but didn't please.

 

You must be an idiot to mention the Trinidad, BOTH Jones and Trinidad were shot at the time, who did you expect him to fight exactly?, Wladimir Klitschko?

Right now the man is shot and is still fighting a dangerous opponent no one is giving him a chance against in Calzaghe. Got any fighters he could have fought in his prime but didn't?, PLEASE mention them.

Typing rubbish coming straight out of your ass proves hate, back it up please.

 

Benn
Eubank
Collins
Michalsczewski

Benn and Eubank both have a chance to beat Roy, certainly more so than some guys that were actually granted an opportunity. Collins is a very long shot, but DM would have made a cracking opponent.

 

but since they faded into euro obscurity and never did anything about it, no, they never had a chance.

dont ever build up fighters who never cracked the US.

 

Hilarious , every time someone is asked to mention a fighter Roy possibly ducked Lennox Lewis is immediately dragged out, like moving up to beat Ruiz(something Golota failed to do, remember?) was "cherry picking" and easy. If you don't see that as impressive then you have mental issues or know jack**** about the sport, especially for a former Middleweight champion. Like we all forget how MANY were picking against Jones in this one, of course it all doesn't matter, Jones won, right? atsch

Even if he decided to fight Lewis, what was Lewis' plans at the time, do you even know or at least read about Lewis' situation or you're just pulling out any name you can?

Lewis was in possible talks to make a rematch with Mike Tyson and was inactive for one full year till the Kirk Johnson tune-up type of fight came up, then Klitschko replaced him and the rest is history. Even at that time Lewis confirmed he's semi done with the sport and a possible rematch with Tyson is a major fight he would consider since Wladimir lost to Sanders, who Lewis was also looking into. It wasn't like Lewis was super active and free at the time for that fight to even be negotiated.

 

I never accused Roy of ducking them, all I said was that they were better than some of the names that Roy fought.

At the time, there were adequate opponents over here - but you could turn it around and ask why didn't Roy come over here?

The Olympics is an obvious (and perfectly understandable IMO) reason for not doing so, but he wasn't the first fighter to get jobbed abroad and not the last either.

Benn did cross the pond for about six or seven fights and beat everyone, maybe an RJJ fight was likely then, but the rematch with Eubank was a huge lure, for both men.

 

Would a win over Jones mean anything to Lewis?

Because unless he won, and won easily, it would affect his legacy negatively.

High risk, low reward - for both men = no fight.
