anyone here anything about this..haha:
At a press conference this weekend at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis to hype Roy Jones vs Prince Amaju on July 29th, Jones suprised the media by showing up. Although Jones was 45 minutes late, he is famous for not showing up at all for press conferences. Roy Jones Jr made a startling revelation on why he lost the third fight against Antonio Tarver. Jones Jr blames his father for that loss, saying he made a conscience decision to loss. He made that choice in the fifth round of the fight. Jones says that is when he decided that he wasn't going to win the fight.
Jones Jr is quoted by Tim Smith of the New York Daily at the conference as saying: "If I had won the fight my father would have gotten all the glory and he didn't deserve it. If I had knocked out Tarver they would have said it was because of him. My father don't deserve this. Where were you the last 12 years? He's a sharp guy. Having him was more bad than good. He's a good boxing guy. He taught me. But he's not good for me.''"

Doghouseboxing is famous for inaccuracy for what I know. Also, the link says "Chee", a notorious Roy Jones detractor of maxboxing fame. Chee got to be so bad over at MAX that he banned anyone who tried to challenge him on his anti-Roy diatribes.
The whold thing just sounds like bullshit. I have no idea if its true or not, but I dont beleive it just yet.
i can actually see that kinda happening. its RJJ he does what he wants when he wants. maybe now maybe we will actualyl see the real RJJ. i mean thikn about it though. he was working tarver over in the 4th and 5th and through out the fight he really hit tarver when he wanted to. i mean come on roy was never one to throw alot of punches in a fight but he landed 1 punch in 3 rounds and only thew like 10 that is not roy. i mean he did go on espn hot seat and say that he wanted to fight tarver and johnson again. this is his set up fight. but as much as i hope its not true bc i wish he would have just shut tarver up you can kinda believe it. like i said. its roy jones jr. :boxing:

i have supported jones his entire career, and i dont believe he believes that. jones would never let tarver of all people win, just to spite his father. jones wouldve never allowed his father to be trainer in his last fight if that were true..
