    Thats just another reason for me to fight in London? Thats your proof? Like I said....Jones never says he is going to fight in London. He says that pretty women are a reason for him to fight there. Those are entirely different statements.

    As I said, Jones has always turned down fights overseas and said they must come to him.

    Now...go back an actually watch Jones say something verbatum. He says Benn and Collins turned him down. You think he turned down Benn and it's the exact opposite.

    And he actually SAYS that. Not says there is a reason for Benn to turn him down.

    And there are some people on this site who can't seem to understand context and English.

    As I recall, Eubanks was trying to convince Jones that fighting in London would be great for him. In context, all Jones is saying is that this is another reason for him to do it. He never actually says he is going to fight in London.

    If he wanted to so bad, why did he never fight ANYWHERE but the States?

    Now stop dodging the point of the thread. Benn turned down Jones, not the other way around.

    Why do you care? And you still seem to be reluctant to address the video I posted.

    The thing is, when your the best fighter in the world and a fight doesn't come off against another fighter, usually it's the best fighters fault... no matter the real reason.

    It's just human instincts. We wanna bring down those at the top.

    IMO, and that is all it is, it takes two to tango, and Roy never actually "avoided" anyone. And if any of em did man up and accept the terms, very few of em woulda seen 12.

    :yep

    I can't believe no one has mentioned Gerald McClellan yet, it has been reported in the past how Roy Jones avoided anything to do with the G-man and to be honest it's a fact that people has said Jones was **** scared of Gerald.

    I agree that he would have killed DM, and Eubank didnt want to fight RJ, i recall in that interview ESB posted, he said that RJ would have wooped him badly, so thats why he didnt take the fight. Benn and Collins, I think wouldnt have given RJ to much a prob. And he would have gotten W's as well.

    If the thread says "career", I think Hopkins shouldn't be mentioned here, RJJ fought the guy once if anyone remembers? :huh

    If you read the full interview, Jones says he'd fight Eubank 'any place'. London is a place :deal
