    I don't need to put anywhere near as much time or effort to make you look like a complete dick.

    All I need to do is this...



    Victory :smoke

    You're a '****.

    I always thought Jones did indeed duck Nunn as Nunn was his number 1 challenger at the time-not that Roy couldn't have beaten that version of Nunn but he would have maybe had a hard time doing so.

    Eric Harding troubled Roy and Harding at his best isn't close to any version of Nunn.

    Prime for prime I'd bet on Nunn against Roy.People forget that Nunn was fast and had that slick southpaw style-he beat the hell out of unbeaten Frank Tate who while not in the class of Roy by any means was a pretty good pro.Nunn made him look like a novice.

    Nunn CRUSHED Kalambay who was a defensive genius and damn good boxer in ONE ROUND.

    Nunn's problems were always outside the ring-couldn't stay away from his hometown.
    Hell look what a not at his best Nunn was doing to Toney before he started slowing down.

    The agreement was that the winner of Jones-Toney would fight the winner of Benn-McClellan. My sources are: The Dark Trade and War, baby:The glamour of violence. And the last time I checked the winners of those two fight, didn't fight.
    You haven't even read or understood my post have you? I'm talking about 92-93 and you are talking about an agreement in 95?

    Irrelevant
    What impetus was there for fights with the following happening: Kelly, Frazier and Woods? The answer of course was that they were his mandatories, like Nunn was
    Alot of the guys Jones fought at lhw were c-class as well, didnt stop those fights from happening either. Past prime Nunn was still a lot better than Woods, Frazier, McCallum (very past prime), Reggie Johnson (very past prime)
    I have never stated what my view on the situation is, all I asked is why it didn't happen and someone here told me why.
    Toneys prime ended during his time at lhw, at what time I dont know because im not sure if his reflexes were slowing down due to age, or him training at Burger King again. He was definately still prime during Griffin I

    Jones was a Glass Jawed fraud. His whole career was smoke and mirrors. His resume is littered with handpicked optional fights and disgraceful mandatory defenses.

    He refused to take risks and avoided way too many fighters.

    He also has an abysmal Glass Jaw.

    Article by : John Scully:

    "I saw Gerald (McClellan) a month later at Sugar Ray's training Camp in Maryland and he told me he wouldn't be able to spar for a while longer because his jaw was still hurting from the fight with Roy. A very interesting thing that came out of the relationship between Roy and Sugar is the fact that Roy Jones Sr. has a video tape of the two of them sparring each other. How much would a collector pay to view that tape?? I visited Pensacola in July of this year (2003) and, as usual, I stopped in to see Big Roy train the amateurs in the gym on his property. I brought up the tape and told him I know for sure that he could get that it on-line and make a good chunk of money selling copies of it. I had a guy that sells video tapes tell me that one of his biggest sellers was the 2 rounds of sparring he has on tape of Roy and I sparring as amateurs. Imagine what Roy and Sugar Ray Leonard on tape would go for?? The funny thing... what is important to one person is not always important to another. Not only did Big Roy have no interest in parting with the video but I would be willing to guess that it would take him much more than a few minutes of searching his house to even find the thing. I guess after all he has seen his son do, the sparring is in some ways just another sparring session that is on tape somewhere."


    "After the Olympics were over it was time for everyone to make their pitch to Roy and his Dad to see who would end up as his Promoter. I have heard that Emmanuel Steward, Don King and all the others made their play. I myself, along with most of the guys that came up with Roy in the amateurs, assumed he was going to sign with Sugar Ray Leonard. I mean, I can remember at the 88' Nationals when Ray was on the local TV station in Colorado Springs talking about what a great prospect Roy was and when I was in camp with them it was pretty clear that Ray had the inside track on signing him up. Whatever happened, it ended up that Roy went into the game under the guidance of his Dad with the help of Pensacola Attorney's Stanley and Fred Levin."

    its simple *****

    mcclellan = huge puncher and iron chin

    that means roy would have got taken into the trenches and we all know what happens to roy when he goes into the trenches - he folds like a lawn chair and his anabolic steroid ridden, fragile glass mandable gets smashed to smitherines :deal

    reluctant roys plan = "i'm **** scared of mcclellan and benn, they hit hard and my chin is grade A china + mcclellan kicked me ass in the amateurs. i know what, i'll make them both fight each other like warriors in the trenches and then when people want me to fight the corpse of the winner, i will price them out of a fight with ridiculous 90/10 pay demands just like i did with my mandatory micheal nunn. hbo and ring magazine will then smooth it over and brainwash deluded puppetts all over the world about why i duck fighters" :deal
