wins against woods, kelly, gonzales, harmon, harding, hall, telesco, ancient johnson, grant, ancient mccallum, sosa, ancient thornton, paz & del valle mean NOTHING,
However...wins over vaca, castro, malinga, hopkins, tate, toney, hill & griffin are awesome. those are his best wins in his prime, against the best fighters, not his bull**** light heavy days against nobodies
jabsRstiff 03-21-2006, 03:19 PM People waited a very long decade to see Roy get bashed, & then still had the nerve to say "See, I told you he sucked.", when he finally did.
All of those people should be ignored.
Moschino045 03-21-2006, 03:20 PM & i dont think any body says RJJ is a bum, wtf
BLOODSHED 03-21-2006, 03:21 PM These people were always nay-sayers. So when Jones was defeated they jumped on that like white on rice and used that to buttress their long held hatred towards the man.

Moschino045 03-21-2006, 03:24 PM 2 be honest he did skip alot of awesome fighters that would look awesome on his resume (benn, mcclennan, chris eubank, jirov etc) but also beat some good fighters like virgil hill which is the most awesome bodyshot i saw,
jabsRstiff 03-21-2006, 03:26 PM to be honest, he did skip so many really awesome fighters that would look awesome on his resume (benn, mcclennan, chris eubank, jirov etc) but he also beat some good fighters like virgil hill which is the most awesome bodyshot i saw,
He did not "skip" McClellan. Mcclellan's time in the spotlight was very short.
Bozo_no no 03-21-2006, 03:27 PM Who thinks he's a bum? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Making a thread even asking/adressing the one or two idiots who might have ever said something so stupid is almost as bad.
Easy-E 03-21-2006, 03:28 PM wins against woods, kelly, gonzales, harmon, harding, hall, telesco, ancient johnson, grant, ancient mccallum, sosa, ancient thornton, paz & del valle mean NOTHING,

every single one of those fighters are solid, quality fighters, almost every one was a number one contender. and remember, its not just THAT he beat all these guys, its HOW he beat all these guys.
i know records arn't everything, but look at this
Woods 32-1
Ruiz 38-4
Jelly 28-0
Gonzalez 27-0
Harmon 20-1
Harding 19-0
Grant 31-1
Hill 43-2
Griffen 27-0
McCallum 49-3
Tate 29-2
Castro 70-3
Hopkins 22-1
the list goes on, jones faced so many good and great fighters its unreal
badblood 03-21-2006, 03:29 PM This thread should be deleeted for even suggesting such a thing.
Moschino045 03-21-2006, 03:30 PM He did not "skip" McClellan. Mcclellan's time in the spotlight was very short.
Mcclennan says after his 30-second bodyshot ko of some guy (i dont remember who he was fightin, quickest ko in middleweight world championship history tho) that he wanted 2 fight next either julian jackson, james toney or roy jones, said rjj for summer 1994 to decide who is the best middle weight would "set the boxing world alight"

clinton Woods ? Gonzales ? come on dude. Woods sucks, hes a nice guy & all that but come on man, hes the weakest world champ for some time !
benjamin2004 03-21-2006, 03:32 PM Cant nobody deny he was a beats in his prime and his legacy is established, so to badmouth him now is simply stupid!!! :bsflag: :fing26: :*******:

That was Jay Bell......& I think Bernard Hopkins KO'd a guy named "Something Frank" in quicker time, after that.
Still, just because McClellan said that, that doesn't mean that meant Roy avoided him.
Roy fought Toney in '94.....rising up in weight to face the guy many (myself included) thought was the best fighter in the world, lb4lb.
Roy wasn't afraid of McClellan.
Bozo_no no 03-21-2006, 03:34 PM clinton Woods ? Gonzales ? come on dude. Woods sucks, hes a nice guy & all that but come on man, hes the weakest world champ for some time !
Jones toyed with Gonzalez, beat him 120-105, and then Gonzalez went to Germany and beat Darius.
What is your issue here?
You can take any Hall of Fame fighter and point out 2 or 3 names they could have fought but didn't.
And in more cases than not, there's more to the story than you know.
You mentioned Benn. Somone just posted a interview where he mentioned he never had a lot of interest in fighting Jones.
You're just adding to an already stupid thread with this futile nit picking.
Moschino045 03-21-2006, 03:34 PM RJJ vs Gonzales is a embarassment, i actually watched it again the other night. its a pathetic fight. Gonzales was actually cryin he was so scared, & RJJ was so damn boooring by then. i love watchin RJJ back when he was actually rippin out POWER combos on Tate, Paz etc

darius was yrs past prime when this gonzales dude fought him, & was over rated euro fighter any way who wouldnt leave germany for ****. light heavy sucked since mike spinx left. rjj was damn boring at light heavy, when i first started watch boxing i thought rjj was like a demigod (paz, hill bodyshot, griffin 2), by the time the year 2000 was on the scene i could not stand to watch rjj any more becos he was getting so boring. he has ruined his legacy by not hangin up the gloves.

You're a guy who constantly defends and cheers for Calzaghe.
You find no irony in your "Jones was boring and disapointing" rant when you look at what Calzahge's done up to this year?
You're boring.
Jones is an all time great, and a Hall of fame fighter.
The fact you'd comment in a thread with this title and bring up anyting that would mildly resemble supporting it is ignorant.

im not a Calzaghe fan, so i dont know what ur talkin about,
but any way, Calzaghe was a damn sight more excitin than RJJ since 2000 (did u miss the brewer war, mitchell fight etc, veit in one round), & im not even a JC fan really. sure RJJ was more excitin than JC back in the day, but hes wrecked his legacy by not hangin up the gloves

Again, WHO said he's a bum. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, and you could maybe find one or two people who've ever said that, and you go and bring attention to it.
Think about what you're saying.

well, yeah, the mario Veit fights were actualy AWESOME performances ?
any body can see that u are in need of some serious, serious help with ur hatred of JC, i find it funny personally. ur ****ed in the head.
jabsRstiff 03-21-2006, 03:51 PM No one has honestly called him a bum.
But, I have heard him called overrated...& the classic- "fraud".

lol, this just proves how biased and ignorant you are.
You jump into a retarded thread about one of the Greatest fighters of the last generation and start critisizing and hating like you're in support of the assanine notion the thread title suggests,
and then you put the icing on the cake by not recognizing the irony in suggesting Roy was boring or didn't fight anyone by sticking up for Calzaghe.
If you can't see how sad that is for you, you're the one who needs help.

im not a JC fan at all, but unlike some i dont spout bull ****.
bottom line- JC was more than willing to fight RJJ, RJJ was not willing to risk fightin JC
badblood 03-21-2006, 03:56 PM When Jones finally hangs them up he will go down as a legend in the sport of boxing. Saying anything else is just stupid
jabsRstiff 03-21-2006, 03:56 PM Bozo....

You're a closet fan, that's sad enough on it's own.
But regardless of whether you're a fan or not, you're not bright enough to recognize that the critisisms you've thrown at Jones here can be said ten fold of Calzahge up to this year, yet you're all over Joe's sack. And the difference is, Roy's universally recognized as a Hall of Fame fighter, and the best of his generation. Joe's not even close.
Try thinking about that, but don't hurt yourself.
Oh, and nice try about Joe wanting to fight Roy years ago. Just like that long list of fights he wanted but never came off. The whole world was avoiding him while he sat in his backyard fighting nobodies huh?
You're a hypocrite, and not even smart enough to realize it.
The_One77 03-21-2006, 03:59 PM do many roy jones threads, just too many
Bozo_no no 03-21-2006, 04:00 PM Bozo....
You've heard him called a "fraud", haven't you ?
Maybe by a handfull of people who don't deserve to be taken seriously. The point I was making is that any such notion is so stupid that bringing attention to it is almost just as bad.

didnt RJJ himself say recently that any body who says JC hasnt fought good opposition needs their heads tested or some thing ?? i swear i read that on the net somehwere, maybe east side. & its true. he beat all the best america had 2 offer (sheika, brewer, mitchell, lacy) & all the best britain had 2 offer (eubank, reid, starie, woodhall). sure, he didnt fight all the best europeans (collins, ottke) but thats through no fault of his own- they clearly ducked him,
seriously im not a JC fan, but JC haters mind boggle me

Look who's talking, dip****.
Roy jones was a great fighter and will overall be remembered as one, but he fought a lot of nobodies, and was unwilling to take them out like he could have in many cases, that's why he gets negative attention from some.
superchamp 03-21-2006, 04:23 PM im not a JC fan at all, but unlike some i dont spout bull ****.
bottom line- JC was more than willing to fight RJJ, RJJ was not willing to risk fightin JC
actually, Calzaghe was quoted as saying, just after Jones beat Ruiz, that he never had any intentions of fighting Jones and was glad that Jones moved all the way up to heavy because he would be terrified of him if they ever fought. He also pontificated that Jones was the best fighter he ever saw.
Now that Jones is washed up, his tune has predictably changed.
joker 03-21-2006, 06:21 PM That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. He got out of the game too late like a lotta greats.

Dear oh dear.
Kendo 03-21-2006, 07:08 PM look Roy beat everyone he had to beat in every weight class. people forget that he embarresed james toney. he worked tarver in the first fight with what sum of 20 pounds lost. the past 3 fights he had was father time catching up. look at tyson destroyed guys for years. couldnt come close to beating danny williams come on or what the hell is the other guys name come on now. he is another example of father time catching up. alot of people had lacy killing JC dont give this hail JC **** bc he was a nobody to alot of people ONE HERE before he even beat lacy. roy is going to go down as one of the best fighters in boxing history.

You're still not getting it. But you're getting closer.
You imply that it "mind boggles you" to hear people critisize Calzaghe, who doesn't have a very good overall resume, isn't a lock for the Hall of Fame, and isn't one of the greatest fighters of his generation.
Then, you take Jones, who does have a very good overall resume, is a lock for the Hall of Fame, and is one of the greatest fighters of his generation,
and you come in hating and critisizing. Does that "boggle your mind"? Or do you still not get it?
The point is, you're a hypocirte, and you're supporting something in one case and critisizing in another case.
It's laughable you can't see it.

Now that Jones is washed up, his tune has predictably changed.
also, nigel benn said roy was too good for him to beat him, and eubank said he wasnt going out of his way to fight roy, the only way he would fight him is if he was the number 1 contender

I brought this up a while back, and no one believed me about this Calzaghe interview, because it's not up on the net anymore.
It was just after Jones beat Ruiz, and Calzaghe said he never had any true interest in fighting Roy because he thought he would have lost, and called Jones the greatest fighter in the world.
After Jones lost to Tarver, he suddnely changed his tune.
Do you remember that interview also?
JuicyJuice 03-21-2006, 08:17 PM to the RJJ haters U MUST'VE FORGOT, RJJ top 10 middle of all time, the best super middle of all time, top 10 light heavy of all time

Yeah, nice alt account there Bozo No No ;)
Calzaghe has been quoted in saying literally dozens of times over the last 10 years that he believes he would beat Roy Jones Jr, and that Jones Jr knows it too. Calzaghe even claimed that Jones Jr told him in private that he (Jones Jr) knew he (Jones Jr) couldn't beat him (Calzaghe)!
JuicyJuice 03-21-2006, 08:22 PM but eubank and benn are, what a huge suprise... :rolleyes:

JuicyJuice 03-21-2006, 08:31 PM Calzaghe, who doesn't have a very good overall resume.
Then, you take Jones, who does have a very good overall resume.
Yeah, Jones' resume is so much better than Calzaghe's :rolleyes:
I mean, Jones fought everybody there was to fight.. right? :D
Jones didn't miss about half-a-dozen top-class fighters at SMW between 93 and 96, neither did he miss about half-a-dozen top-class fighters at LHW between 96 and 99.

find me a source and a site for that quote
JuicyJuice 03-21-2006, 08:38 PM Jones has never been Lineal champion at any weight he's ever fought at, never unified any title at any weight he's ever fought at, and somehow managed to miss out on the best crop of fighters between middleweight and light-heavyweight that there has probably ever been in terms of depth. I mean, seriously, weren't just a tad bit pissed off when he was getting in there with the Glenn Wolfe's of this world instead of Gerald McClellan, Lamar Parks and co? Or defending against the Antoine Byrd's of this world instead of fighting Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Stevie Collins, Frankie Liles, Michael Nunn and co?

Diablo 03-21-2006, 08:42 PM He wasn't a bum, he was a dissapointment to me. He had so much natural talent it's a shame he didn't do more.
Bozo_no no 03-21-2006, 08:45 PM Yeah, nice alt account there Bozo No No ;)
Calzaghe has been quoted in saying literally dozens of times over the last 10 years that he believes he would beat Roy Jones Jr, and that Jones Jr knows it too. Calzaghe even claimed that Jones Jr told him in private that he (Jones Jr) knew he (Jones Jr) couldn't beat him (Calzaghe)!
That's not my Alt, I don't have the need to create Alts, like some people around here.
I don't care what you say, I saw that article, and I wasn't the only one.
I don't believe Calzahge ever had any true interest in fighting Jones. Period.
All I ever hear is about all the fights he wanted and didn't get, and this is back when he hadn't fought anyone.
I don't believe a word of what you say with all those stories of fights he wanted but never got.
He was more than content to sit in his own backyard and fight stiffs.

Bozo_no no 03-21-2006, 08:47 PM Nobody in their right mind would call Jones a top 10 middle or a top 10 light-heavy, that's crazy.
You're whole life is based on hating Jones, and when you were banned the owners of this site mentioned how it seems you have some sort of problem.
You're another guy who has the nerve to critisize Jones and to turn around and support Calzaghe. That defeated logic speaks for itself.
Benn layed it out flat how he felt about truely fighting Roy, and you were crushed. You ignored it, and when I pressed, you had no answer.

Well, okay. So he's calling out Jones Jr and Hopkins at every opportunity for years and yet has no intention of fighting them(?).. even though he's clearly an awesome fighter and if he beats them both he's the greatest, if he loses he gets mad props for giving them their toughest fights? Why the **** wouldn't he of wanted to fight them?? Calzaghe is a warrior, the complete opposite to a Sven Ottke.
I will not deny that he wasn't going to go to America, but Hopkins was offered £3million (almost $5million) and actually accepted it.. only to back out at the very last minute and demand $10million! Warren has all the documents to prove this. The fight would of been held at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, it was right after the Charles Brewer fight. Then right after the Byron Mitchell fight, according to Warren (who apparently has all the evidence in his office), Hopkins agreed to a $6million deal only to change his mind 15 mins later!
PessimisticPug 03-21-2006, 08:52 PM There are multiple reasons why these people say that Jones is a bum. Choose the answer that fits the best.
A) Because he lost 2 fights in a row
B) Because they know **** about boxing
C) Because the have no respect for themselves or any fighter
D) Because the king has fallen and they feel justified
E) B+C

I heard him say he never had any true interest of fighting Jones. I read it with my own eyes, and it's more credible than any of the biased crap you come up with.
This always goes back to the same point: Calzahge spent the majority of his career doing NOTHING talking about how everyone was avoiding him, when he was the one sitting in his backyard fighting nobodies.
He didn't even unify a title at 168 until a week ago, and had a list of fights available to him in his own weight class that he didn't take,
yet eveyone is supposed to but that he was calling out pound for pound elite that was ducking him?
Come off it.
Anything you have to say about this topic might as well be coming from Calzaghe's mum, or someone that Roy Jones stole somthing from.
You are filled with biased, ignorant crap.

Brewer and Mitchell were ROBBED against Ottke - Calzaghe beat them up.

I think Jones would of walked right through the post-McClellan Benn, would of toyed with Collins and stopped him on cuts if anything, stopped Nunn in six rounds or less, stopped Liles in six rounds or less, out-pointed Michalczewski convincingly, had the perfect style to out-point Calzaghe, stopped Jirov late. I'd of put money on Eubank beating him, and I know quite a few people who would of done the same. But the fact is, Jones didn't fight any of those guys and people who have only been into boxing for five years or so just don't get it.

No one cares that he didn't fight Benn or Eubank who were washed up at the time.
No one cares that he didn't fight Calzaghe, who held just the WBO title, had a ****ty resume, and didn't fight outside his own back yard.
He bypassed Cruiserweight to fight at Heavy, and never intended to fight at Cruiser.

As for Benn and Eubank, I'm sure neither of them couldn't give a toss what Bozo No No thinks of them or how they are compared to Roy Jones. They achieved far more than Roy Jones in a celebrity sense, far more than literally any other boxers in terms of celebrity status (with the possible exception of Frank Bruno). Benn was the most exciting fighter there has been, and Eubank the greatest one-off the game has seen. Who cares what some guy hiding on an internet forum thinks, who has never stepped into a ring in his life.

You can't compare these fighters in that sense, Bozo No No, you can't go on hating poor old Joe Calzaghe with your crazed obsession whenever someone brings up Roy Jones' fight-dodging abilities. Whoever called Calzaghe "better Sugar Ray Robinson"? Who, in America, even believed Calzaghe was nothing more than a complete bum before the Lacy fight? It doesn't add up.

There is no comparison between Jones and Calzaghe in the sense that Jones managed to avoid so many top fighters and Calzaghe was avoided by Jones and Hopkins. If you want to believe otherwise then so be it, your the fool.
If I spend 'hundreds of hours and thousands of words hating on and critisizing Jones', then **** knows how long you spend hating and critisizing Calzaghe and making **** up. Because I spend nowhere near as much time talking the truth about Jones (hating and critisizing as you put it) as you do with your obsession for bitterly despising (and lying about) Calzaghe.

You're biased, ignorant, and delusional.
A few years back, Jones was at 175.
Why would he pay any mind to a sheltered fighter with no major title who never beat anyone worth a damn a weight class below him?
Hopkins was set to break the middleweight defense record.
Why would he move to 168 and go to the backyard of an unacomplished sheltered fighter who had yet to beat a list of credible contenders in his own division?
Nothing you're trying so badly to say has any truth or sense to it.
You keep dancing around the fact that there's a LIST of fighters that Calzaghe DIDN'T fight, and somehow, it's EVERYBODY's fault BUT Calzaghe that didn't happen.
The guy was a bordeline NOBODY years back. He had no marquee wins, and didn't even have one of the major 3 titles in his own division.

Get out of here. You're full of ****.
I thought the thread read "Why do some think RJJ is a bum?"
Why not answer the ****ing question, or stay out of the thread if you don't have one. I posted my opinion as to why some people don't give him his due, what's yours, troll?
No one buys it? Okay, that's why so many people actually write about how Jones is a fraud, etc.
Obsessive hate for Jones? Lol! That coming from You?? Crazy. Anybody can see that you need help, I'm not saying that in a nasty way but your genuine obsessive hatred for Joe Calzaghe is quite over the top and we can all see that. I give my honest opinion on Jones, which is unbiased, and contains truths. He is grossly over-rated.
Bozo is using logic & making sense.
You are just a drunk, biased, obsessed lunatic.
JuicyJuice 03-22-2006, 07:10 AM A few years back, Jones was at 175.
Why would he pay any mind to a sheltered fighter with no major title who never beat anyone worth a damn a weight class below him?
It mind just have something to do with the fact that the fans want to see the best against best, huh? Don't people want to see a guy who is rated "better than Sugar Ray Robinson" for beating the 'Nigel Benn wannabe' Richard Hall actually in with a live opponent who could beat him?? ARE YOU CRAZY or what?
Who represented a bigger challenge to Jones than Calzaghe? Jones himself would call you a lunatic, by the way.
JuicyJuice 03-22-2006, 07:16 AM Hopkins was set to break the middleweight defense record.
Why would he move to 168 and go to the backyard of an unacomplished sheltered fighter who had yet to beat a list of credible contenders in his own division?
To fight somebody worth a damn, you fool. People want to see the best against the best, not the best against the worst.
As for 'unaccomplished and yet to beat a list of credible contenders in his own division', well I suppose the Eubank, Brewer and Mitchell fights didn't happen then? He beat five former world champions, cleaned out the division of those who had the balls to face him, and looked damn good doing so.
Reid, Starie, Sheika, Woodhall, Veit - all very good fighters (unless your Bozo No No, ofcourse). Admittedly the Reid and Starie performances were poor, due to a hand injury. But the Sheika, Woodhall and Veit performances were nothing short of brilliant.
Super Cruiserweight 03-22-2006, 10:35 AM Roy Has Looked Like A Bum In His Last Three Fights, But He Was The Last Fighter Youd Call A Bum Upto And Including The Ruiz Fight
He Finally Proved He Had A Set Of Balls By Taking On A Heavyweight Then Going All The Way Back Down To Lightheavyweight And Standing Toe To Toe With Tarver, It Was A Long Time Coming But He Finally Earned My Respect
FeelTheA-Force 03-22-2006, 10:42 AM Lets take a look at his good/great wins for his career

beat B-hop by UD
WOW what a record, of all those people he beat, how many are hall of famers? at least 3, and how many of those guys are champions now or still top contenders!! and juyjuy who cares if he didnt fight any brits that were old i dont only u, and who cares if his amatuer record wasnt perfect u dont judge people by amatuer records and its pointless to bring it up
to the RJJ haters U MUST'VE FORGOT, RJJ top 10 middle of all time, the best super middle of all time, top 10 light heavy of all time, a true legend
if he was the best SM in the world. why didnt he fite benn eubank? calzaghe? collins? explain?
Super Cruiserweight 03-22-2006, 10:43 AM You're still not getting it. But you're getting closer.
You imply that it "mind boggles you" to hear people critisize Calzaghe, who doesn't have a very good overall resume, isn't a lock for the Hall of Fame, and isn't one of the greatest fighters of his generation.
Then, you take Jones, who does have a very good overall resume, is a lock for the Hall of Fame, and is one of the greatest fighters of his generation,
and you come in hating and critisizing. Does that "boggle your mind"? Or do you still not get it?
The point is, you're a hypocirte, and you're supporting something in one case and critisizing in another case.
It's laughable you can't see it.
IT COMES DOWN TO LUCK IN A WAY
ROY WAS A PRETTY LUCKY FIGHTER ID SAY, CALZAGHE SEEMS LIKE HE WAS A VERY UNLUCKY FIGHTER
BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT ROY WAS PROBABLY NEVER ANY BETTER THAN JOE CALZAGHE ON ACTUAL ABILITY !
Super Cruiserweight 03-22-2006, 10:57 AM I heard him say he never had any true interest of fighting Jones. I read it with my own eyes, and it's more credible than any of the biased crap you come up with.
This always goes back to the same point: Calzahge spent the majority of his career doing NOTHING talking about how everyone was avoiding him, when he was the one sitting in his backyard fighting nobodies.
He didn't even unify a title at 168 until a week ago, and had a list of fights available to him in his own weight class that he didn't take,
yet eveyone is supposed to but that he was calling out pound for pound elite that was ducking him?
Come off it.
Anything you have to say about this topic might as well be coming from Calzaghe's mum, or someone that Roy Jones stole somthing from.
You are filled with biased, ignorant crap.
"POUND FOR POUND ELITE" IS BULL****
IT OFTEN COMES DOWN TO WHO GETS THE LUCK OF THE DRAW, WHO GETS THE RIGHT FIGHTS
ROY JONES NEEDED JAMES TONEY TO BECOME A POUND FOR POUND ELITE, BERNARD HOPKINS NEEDED FELIX TRINIDAD TO BECOME A POUND FOR POUND ELITE, JOE CALZAGHE NEEDED ROY JONES OR BERNARD HOPKINS TO BECOME A POUND FOR POUND ELITE BUT THEY PROLLY WOULDNT LET HIM HAVE HIS FIGHT ( TOO MUCH RISK FOR TOO LITTLE MONEY , EG CALZAGHE WASNT A BIG ENOUGH NAME OVER HERE )
ON A SIDENOTE, WHY ARE YOU WRITING SO MANY ESSAYS GIVING YOUR VIEWS ON JOE CALZAGHE IN A THREAD THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TALKING ABOUT ROY JONES JUNR ?
JOE CALZAGHE CERTAINLY EARNED MY RESPECY IN THE JEFF LACY FIGHT, AND ITS CLEAR TO ME THAT THE GUY HAS ABILITY AND PROBABLY ALWAYS DID HAVE BUT WE OVER HERE WERETOO PIG IGNORANT TO RECOGNISE THE MOST TALENTED EUROPEAN FIGHTER ( JOE CALZAGHE )
AND BOZO MY MAN IF CALZAGHE STILL HASNT EARNT YOUR RESPECT THEN YOU ARE IN THE MINORITY MY FRIEND
GunStar 03-22-2006, 11:01 AM Jones is not a bum, but he is overrated. Also the Jones nut-huggers are as bad as any nut-hugger I've ever seen. :eek:
Easy-E 03-22-2006, 12:17 PM if he was the best SM in the world. why didnt he fite benn eubank? calzaghe? collins? explain?
when joe was champ roy was a weight class above him. eubank said himself that he wouldnt fight roy unless roy was a mandatory for his belt. benn, in an article, said roy was too good even for him.
also u have to realize that just like eubank, benn and collins didnt want to go to the us to fight, roy didnt want to go to england or scotland to fight. add in ego's and money and youll realize its logiclly impossible
Easy-E 03-22-2006, 12:19 PM Jones is not a bum, but he is overrated. Also the Jones nut-huggers are as bad as any nut-hugger I've ever seen. :eek:
hmm this coming from the same guy who said toney would beat ali??
hahahahahhahahhhahahah
LemonChiff 03-22-2006, 01:33 PM LOU DIBELLA SAYS RJJ WAS WILLING TO GO TO ENGLAND TO FIGHT EUBANKS, AND HOW EUBANKS IN DECEMBER 1994 WAS OFFERED ALOT OF MONEY TO FIGHT RJJ TO BE ON HBO BUT CHOSE TO FIGHT STEVE COLLINS INSTEAD AND LOST, WHAT CAN YOU SAY TO THAT JUICY???? RJJ V EUBANKS WOULD OF FIGHT OF THE CENTURY BUT EUBANKS TOO CHICKEN **** TO GET IT ON!!
BENN TO HIS CREDIT DID SAY THAT HE WOULDNT FIGHT RJJ IN ENGLAND, THAT HE ONLY WANTED IT IN AMERICA, AND RJJ SAID BENN V MCLENNAN WAS THE "BEST FIGHT SINCE HAGLER V HEARNS" AND THAT HIM AND BENN WOULD BE THE "BIGGEST FIGHT SINCE HAGLER V LEONARD", FACT IS THE FIGHT WAS ARRANGED FOR 50 MILLION DOLLARS BUT BENN SAID WHY RUSH AND WAITED, AND WAITED, AND WAITED, AND THEN LOST TO SUGARBOY MALINGA!!!!!

hollister 03-22-2006, 02:42 PM Hey Flyy, you PMing me because I called Bozo on his trolling?
If it's about Bozo, **** that *****, let her take care of herself lol
That ***** doesn't do **** but make ****ing GIFs and troll 24 hours a day, *****.
That ****** never intended to post an opinion or anything reasonable when he saw the thread, he just saw who made it and decided to post a bunch of personal attacks on whoever was posting in the thread, that's some coward ass **** from a coward . And I hope you quote me so that lipstick wearing ***** has to read it too, so both of you can put me on double ignore lol
Kendo 03-22-2006, 02:45 PM than he JC wanted Roy so bad he would have stepped up to Roy and fought him. My thing is why if Roy has the titles should he give them up so fight overseas where he was onced robbed. why not JC come to Roy. Roy said in a recent interview that he is willing to go over there this time bc he has no titles to lose if it goes to a decision. but as for JC years ago wanting to fight Roy JC should have grown some balls and came over here to fight. why not?? come on now. you come to the champ the champ dont come to you. come on now.

are you being serious?
brickhouse187 03-22-2006, 04:00 PM People think that RJJ is a bum probably because he lost to two people that he was chose to beat including a journeymen.
Bozo_no no 03-22-2006, 04:44 PM To fight somebody worth a damn, you fool. People want to see the best against the best, not the best against the worst.

You are outright delusional about what Calzaghe's status was back then.
It's useless to try and talk to you about it, because your mind is in a different state of reality.
He hadn't unified a major title, hadn't beaten a great opponent, and had no overall acclaim to be calling people to come and fight him in his backyard, especially elite fighters outside of the division he was in that contained contenders he hadn't even fought.
You are completley biased, and outright delusional.
And I've told you several times to stop sending me private messages to discuss what's being discussed here. I have deleted them without reading them because I'm speaking to you here. There's no need to be pointing out your deluded non sense in two seperate places.
Easy-E 03-22-2006, 05:02 PM are you being serious?
he clearly won that fight, probably by four or five rounds
i forget how i scored it, id have to watch the fight again, but he convincingly won that fight
it seemed close at first glance, but for me, the more times i see it, the more roy won by
JuicyJuice 03-22-2006, 07:19 PM than he JC wanted Roy so bad he would have stepped up to Roy and fought him.

Calzaghe had no money to make by fighting Jones outside of Wales, and Calzaghe is scared of flying.
Easy-E 03-22-2006, 07:22 PM Calzaghe had no money to make by fighting Jones outside of Wales, and Calzaghe is scared of flying.
hahahahahahahahaha
so joe calls out the champion under the conditions he gets the bigger chunk of money and roy flies to his hometown...
i think its pretty clear who didnt want to fight who here

Your spamming is worse than Anorak was.
Easy-E 03-22-2006, 08:08 PM how many threads about boxers from great britan have you created, max?
Kendo 03-23-2006, 06:18 PM is that Roy's fault? Not if my man had some balls he would have come over here in the first place to try and get some big money fights to work up to Roy. you cant just sit on the other side of the world and say that you can kick Roy's ass and than not come over here and do it. thats BS. The champ does not have to go to anyone. if Roy was calling JC out now to come to America to fight you would be saying the samething i am. so please dont give me that crap. the champ dont go to nobody you have to come to the champ.
Bozo_no no 03-23-2006, 06:30 PM Your spamming is worse than Anorak was.

Same old double standard from you, you're just about the biggest spammer on the site now. How about that opinion?
