Roy Jones Jr - 'One Tough Bird'

Back on topic?

Ha!

How is talking about GG on topic?

There's the other thread for that.

I love my nickname. It's good. Especially as you can't read or write.

 

Of course.

I've given the exact same advice to lots of people on here. But this guy provides me with so much entertainment, I'm happy to go back and forth. I just use him to pass on the time between my shifts at work.

 

Have you read this before?

I've found a great interview for you with "Iceman" John Scully.

He mentions Roy going for a run in Vegas on the morning following the Toney fight.

Is that it?

That's all you've got as a comeback?

Tarver, Hill, Johnson and Griffin etc, were borderline journeyman?

If you really believe that, then what does it say about the SMW division?

 

Johnson caught him at the perfect time, coming just 2 months after the the loss to Tarver. I love Glen, but I've never met or spoke to anyone who thinks he'd have beaten Roy pre-Ruiz.

Tarver was a very good fighter. He caught Roy with a peach in the rematch, and he deserves all the credit in the world. Roy beat him in their first fight though, even though he was completely exhausted due to the weight loss.

Griffin was an underrated fighter, and he showed his skills fighting Roy and Toney.

Hill was faded, but he was better than just solid. He knocked out Fabrice Tiozzio in a round a few years later.

You also had Dariusz, Nunn, Harding and Reggie etc.

Although it wasn't stacked, it wasn't weak.

Again, it was stronger than the SMW division for the majority of his reign, and you can clearly see that by looking at the rankings that I posted.

 

Tarver was a good fighter. So what if he couldn't cut it against Chad? Chad was also a very good fighter. But after his weight struggles and his loss to Andre, he was never the same.

Reggie couldn't cut it at MW? He beat Collins, and many people believe that he was robbed against Castro and Toney.

Harding was a decent fighter.

Why on earth have you mentioned Roy's low level mandatories and keep busy fights? What a joker you are. There's guys like that in every division. They obviously weren't the divisions best fighters. And after listing those guys, how on earth have you got the nerve to say that I've got an agenda? It's ridiculous that you've mentioned a guy like Otis Grant. He wasn't even a LHW.

Look at the ratings that I posted. It's very simple. Just click on the links. Look at the main fighters. Again, it wasn't stacked. Nobody could say that it was really strong. But it certainly wasn't weak. A division consisting of: Roy, Dariusz, Hill, Reggie, Nunn, Griffin and Tarver etc, wasn't WEAK.

There is no agenda regarding the SMW division. I'm merely pointing out that Roy fought in the strongest division that was available to him.

 

Like I said earlier: You're an absolute joker.

There's only one of us here with an agenda, and it's clearly you.

First we were debating the strength of the division, and now you only want to specifically look at Roy's title defences. How convenient that you've suddenly moved the goal posts so we can't add Hill and Tarver to his defences. You also missed Griffin and Johnson along with Del Valle and Woods. I'm sure you didn't do that on purpose though, huh?

Regarding Reggie, no, he wasn't great. But he won a MW title before he moved up to LHW, and he also had a great win over William Guthrie who was hyped at the time.

I didn't say that LHW was the strongest division around. Why don't you actually try reading my posts? I said that the LHW division was the strongest division AVAILABLE TO Roy.

He only had 2 options:

SMW

LHW

Why don't you actually go and click on the links that I uploaded.

It's clear which division was the strongest.
