Roy Jones vs Nigel Benn: why didnt this fight happen?

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Ok I have to admit that **** was funny as hell !

 

Dya know what really makes me laugh ??? John Ruiz was ridiculed scorned and laughed at when WBC champ UNTIL He fought Jones jr then suddenly he was regarded as a legit champ because Jones beat him

 

nigel benn - showtime/don king/frank warren tie up.

roy jones - HBO/top rank at the time.

politically it was a toughy.

then benn lost of course. :?

 

Well considering how the divison turned up he 's right in the middle..And he was the WBA champ ..

 

That has to be one of the funniest vids ive seen in a long time, thanks for posting this up

 

Benn also had underrated handspeed 2. And yeah what sometimes happens in the amateurs does transfer over 2 the pros. so roy could of gotten Ko'd by Gman.

 

HBO reported it.

Frankie LIles was offered 1.5, turned it down. Collins was offered 3, asked for 7.


HBO was trying HARD to get a fight for Jones in the late 90-'s. 4 different fighters turned down career high paydays.

Have you seen that fight?

You use the word "smash" very often.

That was a amateur close win for G-man, although G-man left with a broken jaw.

You make excuses for Calzaghe being green in his pro-career, but you are gonna hold Jones' career to an amateur loss when he greatly improved since then?

Anglo buddy, you are one biased poster.

 

But Roy didn't get knocked out by G-Man in the amateurs, it was a close fight when G-Man left with a broken jaw. So what the **** are you talking about?

 

Props on the Lampley interview 45and1:good

Nah, that was seriously funny, and you know how big a of a Roy fan I am.:yep

 

The only thing we can all agree on is that Joe Calzaghe sucks ****! He's the real one who fought all those sanitation workers.....his resume is ****en terrible. Enzo said Calzaghe is the greatest of all time, then Calzaghe is in the background sticking up his thumb and smiling...:rofl:rofl:rofl. Just horrible. :bart

 

I think both Liles and Collins have very different takes on those offers. Also do you have a link?

Actually it was the other way around, Jones killed a lot of fights by asking for too much money
