View Full Version : Stop Kicking Roy ...

I have read many posts that keep kicking Roy mercilessly ... . Roy, as an HBO guest commentator, has taken pleasure in kicking Wladimir after his second devastating TKO loss. Even though Roy has proven to be a Rediska, I refuse to kick Roy, or anyone in the same situation, ... in order not to be like Roy.

Johnson hit Jones in the Ring,
ringing and banging like a king,

One was overrated,
The other, underrated.

Johnson with the overhand,
Jones with the lowhand.

He's like Shaq.
He's good in some areas but he was exposed for having a questionable chin and not being good under pressure.
Like Shaq isn't able to do free throws.

Both think they can rap and act and both spend too much time on that **** instead of what really works for them.

Roy Jones Jr. on Wladimir Klitschko after Klitschko lost to Brewster: "Its not so much his of chin as it is his heart though. He's like a dog that can't fight from the bottom. Nope he did not (ever have heart), because he never had it, its just that he was so big that you never got the chance to see him fight from the downside...Probably it (retiring) would be a good idea for him to because he's only a six round fighter and only Butterbean can really handle that...They (the Klitschkos) cannot take what they dish out." Talk about kicking someone when he is down. No wonder Wladimir refuses to fight for HBO anymore.

Nope.
I just don't like Toney, RJJ, or Tarver.
A bit too talkative for my tastes.
I hear good things about Taylor though, but I haven't been able to catch a match of his.
I liked Wright for what I saw him do against Mosley.
As far as I know Wright is black, is he not?

I started that thread because I thought Morales was backing out of the Pac fight.
I was pissed because I'm looking forward to seeing Morales and Pac go at it.

Edit: Glen Johnson is black too and I like him.
lol Even if it is due to him knocking out RJJ.
I'd probably like him for other reasons if this wasn't the first fight I saw of his.
The reason why you don't see many people on my list is because I don't know of all the fighters out there and I'm not able to see many matches.
So I go off of the fighters I do know of and have seen.

Shut up Nicht for once in your life because now you are talking absolute rubbish. You obviously know nothing about boxing so you resort to insulting peoples opinions ALL the time but NEVER view your own like a man. Roys talents were of a masterclass in boxing and if YOU are disputing that then you are also disputing opinions of most fighters, critics, promoters, trainers and fans on the planet. Come on Nicht wake up and see reality. You hate ALL English or American fighters anyway so how can i take your views seriously.

I have read many posts that keep kicking Roy mercilessly ... . Roy, as an HBO guest commentator, has taken pleasure in kicking Wladimir after his second devastating TKO loss. Even though Roy has proven to be a Rediska, I refuse to kick Roy, or anyone in the same situation, ... in order not to be like Roy.

I like how you said Rediska.

It is from an old classic comedy with Leonov ... forgot the name of the movie.

I think in Russia, people are back to using Rediska. ;)

The movie is called "Dzhentelmeny Udachi."

I found a nice article about Leonov here:

"I miss George Foreman"

Winter....George Foreman is one of the most biased & idiotic announcers ever.

george was the best, he has been in the ring with all types of fighters, and was ale to give a honest evaluation of what wa happening in the ring. he is much better than manny, who just agrees with everything said. and hypes up his fighters

George Foreman was a great commentator. I hope he comes back to HBO, at least once in a while.

You guys are nuts !
That dude jocked DeLaHoya to the point where he was verbally f*cking him !

Don't you remember when George claimed that a guy's multi-colored trunks could be a serious distraction to the opponent ?
When he said Jesse James Leija's best bet against Oscar was to close his eyes & punch up ?
When he said the great old school fighters always threw just one punch at a time ?

Sometimes I wondered if George ever boxed.

George is old, at least he has an excuse for saying things at times that don't make sense, and never really had the sharpest of wit, even in his younger days. Roy Jones is a very good fighter, one with vast talent and athletic ability, that most times, especially at Light heavy, chose not to take full advantage of, but I don't believe he is or ever was head and shoulders above boxing, in his weight class, or any other. His big ****ing mouth makes people want to criticize him even more, and refuse to recognize his achievements, which does little for his popularity. Toney and B-Hop both gave him a run for his money, and both fights were way too close to say that he is the unstoppable fighting machine that some paint him to be. I don't believe a fighter's ability in the ring gives them any right to speak badly of other fighters. I know that some people like that "I'll say whatever I want to or about you, and there's nothing you can do about it" attitude, but you also have to accept it when the "menacing garbage man" finally does something about it.

My favorite George line was during a WBA Heavywieght Championship fight and Larry Merchant made some comment about it not being a real world championship. George looked right at Larry and said something along the lines of, "I held that belt, and these men fought hard to be in this position, don't you tell me I wasn't a real world champion. That's the oldest of all the heavyweight belts."
First time I've ever seen that old bastard shut up.

As for the job, they call them "Expert Commentators", but the job is more akin to that of John Madden. They are color commentators, though I think that, with the vast majority of them on HBO being black, they opted to not use the word "color"

I thought that the word "color" in that use is an old offensive word that died out in the 70s ...

I don't know why all the hate on the Klits, either. They aren't the first fighters not to live up to the hype, you know. I've never seen either of them talk **** about other fighters, the way some other no talent pieces of **** do. Just my take on the whole thing.

His overrated career.
The way he avoided anyone who posed an actual threat to him.
His arrogance and the way he talked in third-person.
His stupid ass thinking he could rap and act and spending more time doing those two things instead of focusing on boxing.
Never trying to improve his skills.
Always talking **** about anything and anyone.
Always overpricing himself so he wouldn't have to fight someone he called out.
Being a ***** and pulling out of fights he demanded.

I could go on and on.
I really hate this guy.

No wonder you like Foreman, you're as clueless as he is.

Let me guess...Georgie says nice things about the Klitschkos, right ?
