Roy Jones Appreciation Thread

Larry said it too timely for Alton to have said it after Roy got knocked out, he must have said it before.

 

no other fighter has captured my imagination like roy did, its been an absolute pleasure following his career & watching him make history. i feel privilaged because fighters like roy do not come around that often & im just glad he did while i was growing up...

 

Roy got me into boxing, I have always risen and fallen with him........Fantastic boxer, great person and father will always love Roy Jones Jr......

 

Roy was flashy with it in his prime and even up to the 3rd Tarver fight...

 

Sad sight tonight. I hope Jones does not have a problem with his health. I wanted Jones to win. I want to see Hopkins/Jones rematch very badly.

 

I remember Roy Jones as he was in his prime. His losses at the age of 40 years detracts nothing from his legacy in my view.

 

We will never see anyone like RJJ in the ring again.

 

Jones has been shot since he lost to Tarver, its been 6 years people, learn to deal with it

 

Omar Sheika, Felix Trinidad at 170, Anthony Hanshaw, Prince Badi Ajamu, Derrick Harmon, David Telesco, Richard Frazier, Lou Del Valle, Bryant Brannon, Merqui Sosa, Antoine Byrd, Danny Garcia.

Why should anyone appreciate those wins? Half of them were defenses of some alphabet title, im sorry but Roy Jones had the potential to be on of the greatest boxers ever. But beating C and D level fighters for most of your career does not gurantee greatness

Also I think everyone is glosing over the illegal substances Jones used, and his subsequent decline after being caught

 

Thanks for the thrills Roy!!!

Now hang 'em up!!!

 

Thank you Roy and goodbye. Please retire and keep your health. Enjoy the wealth

 

Enjoy retirement Roy regardless of what some may say you had the balls to step in the ring and become something...everyone has to lose sometime...thanks for the memories...
