    world class post. pasky200 has been well and truely pwned by esb titan 46and0 :deal

    once again 46and0 refused to be brainwashed by roy jones nuthuggers and produced irrefutable fact to dismantle a 2nd rate esb sanitation worker.

    come back pasky200 when your glass balls have dropped. you do not belong in the esb deep end alongside the likes of 46and0. stick to the shallow end with fellow dweebs like popkins and imperial :lol:

    Well of course. Who wouldn't be afraid to take a punch when they have a glass chin. If you have a physical limitation like that you have to do what's necessary to protect yourself. Jones did that early on, but it's one of those things you're unlikely to overcome your whole career, especially when his success depended so much on speed and defense.

    If a guy has very little power, but excellent boxing skills, you'd wouldn't say "He's deathly afraid of getting in a brawl" as some sort of criticism against him. He's playing to his strengths and protecting against a physical limitation.
    I don't feel the need to **** on Jones since his chin isn't very good. I praise him for succeeding in spite of it.

    thats the reason he ducked the likes of mcclellan, benn, eubank, primes calzaghe DM, and nunn. instead he feasted on a long line of sanitation workers and pulled the wool over the eyes of an entire country with the help of HBO and ring magazine :deal

    Exposing your own lack of knowledge. Shut up before you ask who another hall of fame caliber fighter is.

    Yes, he never faced those guys and thus we'll never know for sure what would have happened. He may have outboxed them, or perhaps his chin would have failed him. Who knows. You don't and neither do I.

    As to whether he ducked them, or a conspiracy was in place, I have no idea. I'm skeptical, but boxing has a rich history of shading happenings behind the scenes, and boxers avoiding each other so I certainly won't say it's impossible.

    It comes from pussies who have never fought a day in their life...I'm willing to bet my life that these guys who are calling Roy or anybody a glaas jaw fraud wouldnt even be able to take a jab from a pro boxer.

    Even thought they talk...Nobody can deny what Roy has done in the past!:good

    I am living in Knoxville right now where I was born, but I grew up in Alaska so I don't have one. Some of my family members are ridiculous with it, can't understand a world they say, they even make up their own words.:rofl:rofl

    Same here. There is nothing worse than a South Georgia accent. Well maybe some of those hicks from Mississippi.

    "A post-fight drug test showed Jones and Hall both tested positive for

    made the over the counter sale of androstenedione illegal. Jones admitted to taking the product "ripped fuel" which was sold at GNC and other nutritional supplement outlets. Jones was able to keep his titles and was not fined or suspended for the positive test by the IBF. The Commissioner of Indiana Boxing, Jacob Hall stated that Indiana did not have a law on drug testing and that an agreement was made with Jones to send his next two pre-fight drug tests to the Indiana commission. Both of those tests came back negative.

    Now be quiet, mental midget :yep

    Yeah, the letter looks horrible, but there is more of a story to it... It was not like Roy was knowingly injecting performance enhancers into his blood. It was still carelessness and I don't excuse it altogether, but I won't call Roy a cheat, and dismiss his career.
