Roy Jones Is A Freakin Monster

Prime Roy makes prime Floyd look silly

 

The Hopkins and Toney fights were both boring stinkers filled with more circling and posturing than fighting and Toney was severely weight-drained and would never make 160 again after that bout. Jones did not fight Eubank, Benn, McClellan, Calzaghe, or Michalczewski and consistently dodged punchers by pricing himself out of fights, refusing to travel, and just outright ducking. He knew then what everyone knows now, that he has one of the worst Glass Jaws in Boxing and stood a good chance of being brutally and embarrassingly KOed by any of those guys. Instead he beat up off-duty police officers, sanitation workers, and blown-up and shot 135ers.

As for you assertion that Michalczewski should have travelled to Roy, why? He was the lineal champion and Roy could have just as easily travelled to fight him. The man is a disgrace and his career was a dog-and-pony show characterized by more skillful matchmaking than actual fighting.

 

WTF would an ATG travel to another country chasing a no name like Darius? And don't even include Calacrappy, please. He SUCKS.
Pretty sure Roy beat Tony with one hand due to one being hurt, so that's the reason that fight sucked. Regardless, Roy made everyone look dumb in his prime. Roy didn't fight Mclellan cause Gerald was in a wheel chair, and as for Benn, wow, one guy he missed. He still iced Virgil Hill, Hopkins, Toney, Griffin and came up to face Ruiz, which sucked but was a champ and took balls for Roy to do that, much less do that in the fashion he did.
Not every great fighter gets to fight everyone.
Trinidad missed Mosley
Oscar missed Winky
Floyd missed pac
Pac missed Floyd

What Roy was able to do in the ring has never been done before. The way he moves, speed, unorth style. I was around when he had gone several fights without losing a round. I remember how damn good he was before he got old. He's the greatest boxer of our generation and it didn't matter who got in the ring with him, nothing would have changed, he would have dominated them just like everyone else.

 

:rofl:rofl:roflatsch

Delusional Royboy nuthuggery at its finest.

#1- Michalczewski was anything but a no-name. He was the lineal champion and Roid wanted nothing to do with him. He went so far as to try to blackball HBO into not even mentioning the man's name on broadcasts so that the fans would hopefully forget about that potential match-up.

#2- The Toney fight sucked because Glass JawRoy fought him like he did anybody with decent power and skill, he potshotted and ran. Unlike Roy who lied about having to drop "25 lbs of solid muscle" after Ruiz, Toney actually was severely weight-drained after dropping 26 lbs from having eaten himself out of MW. He would never make the MW limit again and it was clear that he wasn't halfway in shape. Also, Toney is highly overrated here.

#3- Virgil Hill, shot and never that good to begin with. Hopkins, green and also a stinker of a fight in which Roy refused to engage. Griffin, not good and still won rounds against Glass Jaw Roy. Ruiz, totally crap fight against a feather fisted slob who was handpicked because he hadn't KOed anybody in years. Roy threw in the single digits in some rounds, it was a disgrace. Also, Ruiz was not a real champion, he simply had a trinket belt like all of the guys Roid beat up in "championship" fights. The champion was Lennox Lewis and Roid wanted nothing to do with him or his Mandatory after the Ruiz fight who was none other than Vitali Klitschko. If you think Feather Fisted Glen Johnson put that joke into a coma, imagine what Lewis or Klitschko would have done to him!

#4- It isn't that Roid didn't fight "everyone", he didn't fight anyone. He has two great wins on his resume and they were both hellaciously boring fights in which he refused to engage for fear of having his China Chin shattered all over the place. He ducked every other fight and never beat one lineal, unified, or undisputed Champion in his entire career. He picked off vacant titles and trinket belts from the weakest titleholder he could find in every division he carefully manuevered himself through. Benn, Eubank, McClellan, DM, were all great fights he should have taken and had chances to take. He did not because he was more concerned with his gaudy record earned by pounding out bums than he was with actually taking on real challenges.

#5- Roy "did things (you've) never seen before" because he was fighting complete bums and blown-up 135ers who were shot to ****. When faced with real talent like Hopkins and Toney he fought exceedingly careful to protect his Glass Jaw and had a David Haye-esque work rate.

#6- The ultimate Glass Jaw Roy excuse, "he would have Dominated them like everyone else". Well, that is the story of Roid's career, "coulda, woulda, shoulda". You don't know what the hell would have happened because Roy refused to fight real fighters and feasted on bums. Between the Toney and Tarver fights he faced nothing but bums, has-beens, and never-weres. When he finally got back to fighting decent fighters after nabbing Ruiz's worthless trinket belt and dodging Klitschko, he got embarrassed by Tarver who should have won the first fight and promptly had his Glass Jaw shattered in the second one. You don't know what he would have done against the big punchers I suggested he should have fought, but we do actually know what happened later on when he fought guys who had some skill and a bit of pop. He got brutally and embarrassingly KOed over and over and over again!

 

A complete concise and dominating post.

No there isn't. A Chin is the most important attribute for a fighter to have. Fact.

 

What about chin and technique? Lets face it, your going to get hit at some point. Anytime u step up in class the competition gets tougher and chances r gd that u will be hit. Now this stupid **** about hit and dont get hit is aload of crap. This is the national anthem for all glass jawed frauds and fighters secretly harboring a china chin. Everyone gets hit. The point is to not make habit or a plan of getting hit. In fact, i think it was old jonesy who coined that phrase

 

This is the sweet science when one of the first rules is to keep your chin tucked Anyone can get KO ed ,if chin is the most imprtant attribute than I think its time to do more homework on the sweet science ..I really beleive Ring IQ is the most underrated attribute in boxing !

 

I wonder did they do a scan after the Johnson KO to see if there was any permanent damage to the brain/stem?
