Roy Jones "Floyd needs to fight Prime fighters"

It was a close fight that could've gone either way, similar to Hopkins/Taylor 1. Wouldn't be pissed if they gave it to either Castillo or Mayweather.

 

Minor point made, Roy still is a *****.

 

To Me Roy was just ahead of his time period. There was no person back then that could have beaten him. He came into the sport at a time where he didnt have the peers to give him the most impressive resume.
I wish RJ was younger and was coming into boxing around now way more competition for him.
I hear what you saying. But i dont understand the scrutiny he gets, when he damn near woops all his challengers. Mind you these are either #1 contenders or mandatories, ex champions. All at least in the top 10.

 

Tarver was in his prime and Roy FAIRLY won the first fight.

 

Well boxing is not exactly a high paying job unless you're at the top. Guys having other jobs is nothing new. With the exception of Michalczeswki (which hurts Roy's standing), Roy beat most of the contenders/titlists at light heavyweight. All the guys he beat were top 10 contenders in The Ring, it was part of the HBO contract.

His short time @ 168 hurts his standing more, since there were a lot of quality guys there.

 

He never faced a school teacher or a fighter with a 9-5 record in his prime. This is how things get exxagerrated.

And the Garbage man has already been explained....he was an unbeaten top 10 fighter who would later on win the Lineal title. So he wasn't a bum.

As to the guy who asks can't top 10 fighters or champions be bums? Not in my estimation. Bums are the guys with 7-22 records journeyman beat up on.

 

I am not aware of the school teacher. And until you bring up a name, I won't believe you, for obvious reasons.

Even if he did fight one, it was certainly a top 10 Ring ranked LHW. I know this because I know the ones who weren't ranked that he fought. On top of this, as has been pointed out to you and others, MOST fighters have part time jobs until they make it big. And they are certainly not all bums.

Was Johnson a bum because of his part time job? He beat both Jones AND Tarver.

 

Just so I can get this through my head. I know you dislike Jones, maybe even hate him, but do you actually/honestly believe that Tarver is better than him?

Feel free to give me a reply that dosen't involve saying Tarver 2-1 Jones.

 

I remember Glen Johnson also saying he worked in construction.

 

So it doesn't matter what they were ranked by Ring or what they had accomplished....it only matters that you think they were bums.

Well, as I have always told you, if Jones was so bad, then Tarver gets little to no credit for beating such a low class fighter. So why do you like him?

 

he won 2wice ina row not three times. And hes not better than RJ. It was just like the Spurs and Cav's.
During the season the Cav's smacked the Spurs evrytime they played. And in the championship I dont think the spurs did much, they put all 5 on lebron but other than that, if the team would have hit all the wide open 3's they had they would have won the game. With that being said, jus b/c the Spurs won the championship, i dont think they were necessarily better than the Cav's. The Cav's jus didnt apply themself like how they were suppose 2. If 1/2 of the open 3's they took went in, the spurs would have gottern swept.
And its the same thing with RJ and Tarver. RJ got the skills to woop Tarver. Its evident evrytime they fought. RJ jus didnt "do him" he was boxing scared. IN the 3rd fight, whenever RJ threw his punches he was wooping Tarver ass. But as soon as he let Tarver back him into the ropes is when he starts losing. IN round 5 when RJ actually fought tarver off the ropes, he was f***ing tarver up. He hurt Tarver in that round, but backed off. Tarver know he aint better than RJ in his heart. Some people jus get lucky breaks sometimes.
People say Raja Bell is the "KOBE STOPPER" are you mad lol. Kobe would starch that kid. But jus b/c Kobe may have an off night once or twice against him, that doesnt make Raja bell better.

 

Dipper's hate for Roy blinds him from any type of reasoning.

 

ROY JONES WAS KO'D IN SUCCESSION and now is the Joke of 29.99 pay per view trash shows... he needs to GO AWAY- HE IS WASHED UP AND HIS LEGACY TARNISHED

 

Jones' legacy is cemented by his work from 160 to winning a HW belt. What happens in the twilight of his career AFTER the age of 36 isn't ruining anything.
