Roy said in an interview at his training camp yestserday that if they pay him 30 million he will beat Vitali
Hey if they pay me half of that I'll also get in the ring with Vitali.
Roy should learn form D.L.H and retire, for the good of boxing and his health.
even before roy had ever been kod i didnt give him any chance against v-klit.
and as roys only fight at hw was a complete joke he hasnt got any proof he can do it.
if ya dont think ruiz-jones was a joke tell me one ruiz fight were he does as little (with the exception of 18 second kos lol)
like someone said..its now homicide...
its funny reviving old posts like this one..they were all bleating on about jones next opponent after johnson.well i doubt there will be one now...and man is it funny...roll on bbc boxing..cant wait to see whole fight..dingus has put ko in the video section in galleries

If they paid me 30 million I would fight Vitali and his brother at the same time.
Roy Jones wants Vitali Klitschko? LOL :D
Antonio Tarver's not even close to being a Vitali Klitschko, but i got to admire the man's courage though. Quit talking Roy and fight Vitali, you beat him, then you're superman! ;)
Seriously, a Calzaghe fight will be much better before facing Frankenstein's monster. :eek:
Tarver couldn't call the shots anyway. Look how much DLH made compared to Hopkins. Tarver couldn't even get paid vs. Calzaghe so now he has to fight mandatory Briggs.
To me, it's like Vitaly getting KO'd by Danny Williams, Danny offering Vitaly a rematch and Vitaly saying - "No, I want Lamon Brewster."
I still don't get it. I don't think they can trick fans into thinking fights are bigger than they are just because of alphabet belts anymore.
And Tarver/Jones III would have been bigger in Nov. than it will be in the Spring. The rematch should have been signed immediately.
I understand the "boxing is money" thing - but Roy has WAY more than he needs - why use money to duck the big fights when they come up?
Mosley could have made more to fight DLH a third time but went ahead and fought Winky for less. And lost. But how many guys had ducked Winky? Mosley is a champ, even though he doesn't have a belt, for acting like one.
Winky's a champ for granting a rematch right away too instead of testing the waters and seeing how much he could make with another opponent.
the belt is what he needs...the belt mean he will have say in the money cuz..then it turn into a unification match..and that averges money more ..probably if tarver has his way..he will still get more money..but atleast jones wont get totally ripped remember boxing is 50percent fighting..50percent money...so thats why get me..now tarver wont be able to call all the shots
first off umm no tarver-jones 3 is happeneing right after jones gets that belt he needs from glen..(sohe can have say in money issues since we know we cant trust taver with that..remember he wanted 5 million to fght i dont know who) anyway..
on VK vs jones..jones can come in and out..but VK throws a lot of punches and eventully jones would get caught like others say..and there right..if tarver can ko jones...VK will..basically..wait..it will be rocky 4 all over again
black guy-apolle creed=jones
big russian dude that will kill black guy-ivan drago=VK
:D :D :D :)
So if Roy beats a 9-loss has-been, his belt means more than The Ring belt?

I can't believe people are still believing Roy would fight a Klitschko. He's ducked Hopkins II and Tarver III; why would he want someone who's 260 lbs?
His fight tomorrow isn't even a PPV - what makes him think he could get 30 mil to fight Vitali?
It's just his giant ego talking smack, which worked before he fought Tarver the first time and still a little before Tarver II.
I would think less people are buying his act anymore.
Days after being humiliated by a guy who outfought and out-performed him pre-fight, he was ready to get back in the ring.
With a guy not recognized as the champ for a title belt.
Roy is interested in the greatest rewards mixed with the least risk.
He's not a true champion, because he isn't willing to fight the big names. That puts him below guys like Mosley or De La Hoya who are actually willing to do that - and put their belts on the line against REAL opponents.
Remember, he dumped the belt instead of fighting Tarver, and only went back to light heavy when he had won a heavyweight belt against a pitiful champ - then he didn't want to play with the heavyweights anymore. Then when it turned out that Tarver could (and probably did) beat him, he reluctantly took a rematch and blamed it on the fans.
Then he got beat and blamed it on motivation.
Then he said if he ever fought again it would be against a heavyweight. He said he couldn't "get up" to fight light heavys.
So he scheduled a light heavy that held a belt but was in no way as good as Tarver - a guy that Hopkins has already KO'd.
I'm not buying it anymore, Roy. Tonight after winning 9 or 10 rounds, there will be all kinds of posts about how great you are. But I'm not buying it anymore. Champions don't hide from real competition.
Quit talking about Hopkins. Tyson. Holyfield. Both Klitschkos. Then go fight Fabrice Tiozzo or whoever the hell holds a different minor light heavyweight belt and go record another crappy rap song.
i also would rather watch toney vs jones...toney and jones (when at HW) are the fastest at the weight along with bryd...jones and toney (which i hate-but i see the talent) would e good...toney would also get ko'ed by VK..i dont see anyone beating VK now
jones hopkins would be good to see if hopkins may take him or not..remember this is years later..both have gotten better...well hopkins did..jones got ko'ed.. :D
i think it would be very foolish of roy ..why da hell would he come back down to go back up.. he should of went straight back up after the tarver loss if he dont intend fighting tarver..i think he should of stayed at heavy weight period..cuz tarver wasnt shit before roy jones.. roy could of been real special but he messed up ..i guess i got ta wait to see if he can fix it
Roy Jones is great and one of my favorite fighters. This isn't the first time he spoke about fighting Klitschko. He was talking about fighting Lennox Lewis as well. Jones is talking and none of these fights will happen. Tarver's reach and power gave Jones trouble. Vitali is much taller and stronger than Tarver and would blow Jones away. Jones couldn't potshot Vitali all night. Vitali throws alot of punches and Jones is going to run into something eventually if he keeps jumping in and out. I would rather see Jones beat Hopkins again.
Yeah yeah yeah...Tarver's had his day in the sun. It will all be over before too much longer. Same goes for Hopkins. Vitali wouldn't be able to land a shot on Roy. Roy would move and potshot his way to victory over a slow oversized Klitchko. And why shouldn't Roy get 30 mil to fight Vitali? I think an 8 inch difference in height and a 60 pound difference in weight is worth that much especially since Roy is a natural middleweight. What's funny is all you haters are hoping and praying that match isn't made because you know he probably would win and you'd have to hear about it until the day you die. Roy is the best fighter of this generation. Funny how you self proclaimed experts won't admit it.
