RJJ explainin y no fights wiv Collins/Calz/Eubs, & he'd go 2 England but not Germany!

Last Updated: Thursday, 24 September 1998, 13:36 GMT 14:36 UK Jones weighs up his options Roy Jones Jr took time out to speak to BBC Sport Online about potential fights with Steve Collins and Joe Calzaghe, as well as revealing that he was willing to fight in the UK against Chris Eubank if Eubank managed to capture the world title again. Collins claimed recently that a fight with Jones was almost a done deal, which is news to Jones and his people. "Collins must be in a world of his own. My man doesn't know what Collins is talking about, my man Murad Muhammad. Stanley Levin, who manages Roy Jones, doesn't know he's talking about and neither does Roy Jones. Fact is, Collins was offered the fight by HBO but priced himself out. He wanted fantasy money," ranted Jones. Jones admitted that Joe Calzaghe was a threat, but the Welshman would have to become more popular first before stepping into the ring with him. "Calzaghe is a danger, he's a left-handed stinger with a lot of pop in his left hand. What he needs to do is build his rep in America first because Roy wouldn't want to fight him for peanuts. "Calzaghe's fast-handed, he's more talented than Collins and I think he'd of wiped the floor with him," raved Jones. And Chris Eubank? "If he won any of his last three fights then I would of probably gone over to England and fought him, because he'd be giving me something to fight for. "I know Eubank generates a lot of money in England. But I'd of wanted to leave England with a belt in my possession, not just a pay cheque. It would be the peacock strut versus the chicken moves. "If he can somehow be made the WBO number one at light-heavyweight and beat the German (Dariusz Michalczewski), then I'd happily go to England to fight him and I'm sure we'd put on a great show for the fans." edit- pic wont work (from web archive site)

You're full of shit. You know exactly who Juy Juy is, and everything you say sounds more and more like you're he himslef. Regardless, you spew nothing but non sense, and I will point it out every time I see it. I seriously think you have insecurities you need to deal with.

u r seriously the most deluded fool i have ever come across in life, the scary thing is that u actually believe ur own shit too. please see sense, & stop yabberin on about absolute nonsense since when have benn, jackson, mclennan, littles, liles, parks, calzaghe, eubank, collins, graham, darius m, maske, nunn, rocky, & jirov been my heros ? hating on rjj ? i feel sorry for u i really do. rjj was the closest thing to a boxing hero i have had, but im not deluded enough 2 pretend that he fought any body & every body worth anything. no rjj fan with an ounce of sense would suggest that rjj cleaned house, u hate on pro boxers every single day with a deep passion, u have no place on a boxing forum. u r not a boxing fan, u r scum. Same old non sense. You spend all your time and effort trying to take credit away from those you don't like rather than talking about who you do like. The only one who needs help here is you, because what motivates you to dwell on what you do is crystal clear. You are a sad sad person, and you need a lot of help. u need help. Can't deny it huh? That's what I thought. Once more, are you an ALT of Juy Juy? Yes or no? lol

Moschino045

And seriously, Answer yes or no. Are you an ALT of Juy Juy? You avoid the question constantly. You say the same things he does, recall the same articles, make the same points.... Answer the question. u need help.

You're twisting things again, and repeating yourself because you're upset your hate is being exposed. Both Benn and Eubank said they didn't have a lot of a lot of interest in fighting Roy. And even if they did, you're bent up on those two fighters, because you lick their sacks. They were both past thier best by the turn of the mid 90s, and as I said, you can take any fighter and name 3 or 4 guys they could have fought but didn't. Any way you try and spin it, Calzaghe was not a pressing fight for anyone back then, because he'd done next to nothing. He had a number of fighters in his own division he didn't fight. That's exactly what I'm talking about. If you want to play the "look at who they didn't fight" game, you being a Calzaghe supporter makes you a flaming hypocrite. The bottm line here is that you hate on Roy, because you're upset he (rightfully) gets more acclaim than your heros. Oh, and you're the one who needs help. Instead of discussing boxing, all you do is hate on fighters that make you insecure about fighters you like. Seek help, or a new hobby. u r seriously the most deluded fool i have ever come across in life, the scary thing is that u actually believe ur own shit too. please see sense, & stop yabberin on about absolute nonsense since when have benn, jackson, mclennan, littles, liles, parks, calzaghe, eubank, collins, graham, darius m, maske, nunn, rocky, & jirov been my heros ? hating on rjj ? i feel sorry for u i really do. rjj was the closest thing to a boxing hero i have had, but im not deluded enough 2 pretend that he fought any & every threat. no rjj fan with an ounce of sense would suggest that rjj cleaned house, u hate on pro boxers every single day with a deep passion, u have no place on a boxing forum. u r not a boxing fan, u r scum.

bozo, firstly, u need help. ur very sick. anyway..... it did'nt take einstein to work out that calzaghe was abit special seein what he did 2 chris eubank. if u can put chris eubank on his ass, u can put any body on their ass, as for benn not wantin 2 fight rjj, how did u some how manage to miss the interview right after the mclennan fight ?? watch showtime version of benn v mclennan again, & benn clearly says there & then that he wants rjj next & that he needs 2 beat rjj 2 be considered no.1. rjj turned down an offer from an iranian businessman to stage a non title fight between rjj & eubank in the middle east, it would of been gr8 for the people of the middle east but rjj would'nt allow their dreams 2 come true, unfortunately You're twisting things again, and repeating yourself because you're upset your hate is being exposed.

We already established Benn and Eubank has little interest in fighitng him, as did Darius. Now you add in Calzaghe, who was nobody in the late 90's who never beat a worth while opponent, and hid in his own back yard, and you sound even more laughable than before. This goes right back to you, and your problem with Jones. You don't seem to get that you can poke these kind of holes in every fighter out there. Calzaghe alone can be said to have missed countless other fighters in and around his own division, and all I here from you is how it was everyone's fault but his. Right back to having a double standard, right back to being wounded that your heros didn't recieve the acclaim Jones did, and right back to your same bitter and jaded non sense that you spend hours and hours talking about. bozo, firstly, u need help. ur very sick. anyway..... it did'nt take einstein to work out that calzaghe was abit special seein what he did 2 chris eubank. if u can put chris eubank on his ass, u can put any body on their ass, as for benn not wantin 2 fight rjj, how did u some how manage to miss the interview right after the mclennan fight ?? watch showtime version of benn v mclennan again, & benn clearly says there & then that he wants rjj next & that he needs 2 beat rjj 2 be considered no.1. rjj turned down an offer from an iranian businessman to stage a non title fight between rjj & eubank in the middle east, it would of been gr8 for the people of the middle east but rjj would'nt allow their dreams 2 come true, unfortunately

so many top guys rjj avoided- benn, eubank, calzaghe, mcclennan, darius m, how long was nunn was his no.1 contender ?, rocky claimed 2 be true wbc light heavy champ, steve collins had to resort to going to rjj's house in pensacola ! its ridiculous when u think about it, im not denyin rjj was awesome in his prime (boring rubbish after griffin 2 & hill bodyshot though) but he fought so many fuckin stiffs & by the time 2000 was on the scene id just had enough of him We already established Benn and Eubank has little interest in fighitng him, as did Darius.

Ultimatly your suggestion that he "took the easy way out" comes from some sort of rooted spite. We've already established that Eubank and Benn admitted they didn't go out of their way to make that fight. No matter how you want to spin it, Darius' actions that lead him to a meidocre career suggest he had little interest in fighting Jones. So we have three fighters, all who seem to have had little interest in fighting Roy. Were there fights along the way he could have been in but wasn't? Sure, but you can say that about any fighter. Roy fought more former or current champions than anyone in the last 20 years, other than Oscar and Holyfield. He also did it from 160 - Heavyweight. There's just wounded people like you who have to try and poke holes in something that threatens them and who they like.
