If You Like Roy Jones Jr ...dont Read This.

Article is full of contradiction. At first, it says that Roy ducked all challenges in his career and then later in another sentence it says Roy could've been considered one of the best if he retired after beating Ruiz, and then another sentence says he had a stellar career and ranks among the best.....article sucks yep i agree... BS article

Why do so many people hate on jones.Damm get over it people.

Anybody who thought Tarver beat RJJ in their 1 st fight does'nt know how to score a fight ,Tarver had periods of inactivity in that fight where he got outworked ,

hahaa this thread is so pointless

LMAO... this guy doesn't even have his fact straight, he is a complete dumbass. How can you trash a fighter that badly without actually knowing his history. Roy Jones Jr. never ducked anyone and he lost 3 in a row NOT 4!!! Obviously he didn't watch the first Jones-Tarver fight close enough, because in my opinion Jones was the clear victor despite putting on the least productive performance of his career. Since when did Roy Jones Jr. avoid good fighters??? He fought the best fighters available to him! He fought Bernard Hopkins (22-1) he fought James Toney (44-0) He fought Montell Griffin twice (26-0)and(27-0)He beat Lou De Voul (27-1) He beat Eric Harding (19-0) who had previously defeated Antonio Tarver, dominated him and knocked him down in the 11th round. Then there was Derrick Harmon (20-1) Julio Gonzalez (27-0) Glen Kelly (28-0) Clinton Woods (32-1) John Ruiz (38-4) for the heavyweight title. Roy Jones Jr. had 7 Light Heavyweight title belts. That's right 7!! He went 15 years without a true loss, he is one of the greatest of all time! And he didn't just win all his fights he put on a spectacular show everytime and displayed total domination. Former middleweight world champion, former super middleweight world champion, former heavyweight world champion and 3 time light heavyweight world champion, to say that he was overrated is absolutely ludicrous and biased plain and simple! Reginald T Dogan is a joke! Now that is what I call a post.

this article cannot be real cmon guys whoever made this thread wrote that bullshit and he's clearly a roy hater get off my boy jock he proved his skills after toying wit malinga,toney and mccallum(all 3 are GREAT fighters)

seeing that the dude writes for a pensacola paper hes probably had a hard on for roy jones for going on a decade now. lol That's exactly how haters work. They keep buying into every single shred of anti-Roy propaganda, and if they make the statement: "He ducked the best"....it's so fucking laughable. Who is the dick author referring to? Dariusz Michaelsveski? lol. Roy would have stopped that plodder in seven, along with totally outclassing Nunn and Eubank.....and whatwhoever. They weren't even near his level.

I think Roy should retire. I also think the author of the story is one confused asshole.

Thats the most biased reporter ive seen in a while.

my man is a fucking moron. come on how is he going to down size jones than pretty much give him head. lol. jones didnt fight darius bc he wouldnt come to america. hopkins wanted 50-50 when jones had a win over him already. jones did not lose that first fight to tarver. yea the last 30 seconds of every round maybe but are 3 minutes. how is roy taking an easy fight. who else is in the LHW division to fight. GJ was almost inked with JC and is almost inked with woods. tarver is fighting bhop. who else is there? ruiz is a washed up fighter but he does have two wins over holyfield and basically no one has really dominated him like jones did jones stayed away and didnt give him a chance to hold. tua was really the only other guy to do that he that fight ended in what like 30 seconds lol. got to give the man credit. ruiz couldnt punch and grab bc he could catch jones. the only thing he was catching was jones punches and gradding was his nose after jones broke it.

Which is why i was call him a retard, and not you. :cool: seeing that the dude writes for a pensacola paper hes probably had a hard on for roy jones for going on a decade now.

I didn't write the dam thing !!! some wanker named Reginald Dogan wrote it !!! :banana: :banana: Which is why i was call him a retard, and not you. :cool:

This dude is just retarted. I didn't write the dam thing !!! some wanker named Reginald Dogan wrote it !!! :banana: :banana:

what the hell...what was the point of sharing this article? I like how the author says he was 'once the best' then earlier he says 'ducked and dodged many fighters' lol I was ROFL when I caught that part, LOL

Anyone else read this ? An intresting article. Roy Jones Jr. should hang 'em up while he's still standing By Reginald T Dogan, PensacolaNewsJournal.com Last week he said some things that were downright hilarious. In one report, he promised the "old Roy" will show up for his July 29 fight against NABO light heavyweight champ Prince Badi Ajamu in Boise, Idaho. "I'm still the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, when I'm motivated, (my italics, not his) and I'm motivated now because a lot of people don't think that I am the best," Jones said. Jones then said he'll quit boxing if he loses his next fight. Maybe he wants to be a stand-up comedian. He's one funny dude. After back-to-back-to-back defeats to Antonio Tarver and Glencoffe Johnson, Jones has relinquished his claim to being the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet. And real fight fans know it. After years of ducking and dodging the best fighters available, Jones lost four -- that's right, four -- fights in a row. Officially, he lost twice to Tarver and once to Johnson. But boxing aficionados know that Tarver whipped Jones in the first fight even though the judges awarded it to Jones. To make matters worse, in two of the three official losses, Jones got knocked out -- hard and cold. Against Johnson, it took him nearly five minutes to get off the canvas and almost an hour to leave the ring. Now, to address Jones' comment about retiring: Jones lost the heart to fight a long time ago. In his third fight against Tarver, Jones backpedaled almost as fast as world-class sprinter Justin Gatlin runs forward. For Jones, it was a moral victory to survive 12 rounds and leave the ring standing. His promise to retire if he loses his next fight is idle chatter. The musician Prince has a better chance of beating Jones than Prince Ajamu. Jones' upcoming match is another example of avoiding the best to fight someone he knows he can beat. Before Tarver and Johnson tattooed Jones' head, deflated his ego and tarnished his legacy, top challengers Bernard Hopkins and Dariusz "Tiger" Michalczewski eagerly wanted to fight Jones. Instead, he beat up the mailman (Tony Thornton), the policeman (Rick Frazier, no relation or comparison to great heavyweight champ Joe Frazier), the schoolteacher (Otis Grant) and two former doormen (Lou Del Valle and Derrick Harmon). If Jones had retired after he became heavyweight champ by out-holding has-been John Ruiz, he may have gone down in history as the greatest fighter of all time. But like most boxers who don't know when to quit, Jones allowed his enormous ego to edge him back in the ring. A colossal mistake. Based on his stellar record, Jones still ranks among the best. He won titles at middleweight and super middleweight as well as light heavyweight and heavyweight. In 53 fights, he has lost only four -- one a disqualification. He has 38 knockouts. But like I said after he lost to Johnson, "Hang 'em up, Roy." Make another hip-hop CD, play minor-league hoops, raise your chickens or watch your kids grow up. You were once the best. But if you keep climbing in the ring, you'll end up like the rest. And that would be the darnedest -- and saddest -- legacy of a great boxer.

BONAFIDE, Right On!!! Tha article says a lot about himself without him knowing what he was saying. He ain't got it any longa! I hope I'm right but I think that from now on only the judges and easy fights will make him win.

Whoever wrote this article is just jealous of Roy's money and fame he has some valid points but has wrapped it in biased bollocks

Wow that article sucks. What a moron.

Article is full of contradiction. At first, it says that Roy ducked all challenges in his career and then later in another sentence it says Roy could've been considered one of the best if he retired after beating Ruiz, and then another sentence says he had a stellar career and ranks among the best.....article sucks
