Roy Jones just fought bums!!!!

Roy was a great fighter...but there was a time in his career when I had to 'Roycott' him. HAHA......

Jones was offered fights with every single one of those guys and turned them all down. He defended his titles against some real shit opposition who had no place sharing the same ring as him. And when people said he was 'greater than Sugar Ray Robinson' for beating Richard Hall it was a kick in the teeth for boxing. Eubanks was old and would have been a a brutal beating. Michalczewski actually turned down RJJ after seeing him fight. Do the research. I loved Julian but he had a bum chin and we know what would have happened there. Calzaghe priced himself out. Whos he to git all the money? theres alot of other things going on that alot of poeple dont know about and ya cant blame RJJ for it. Alot of guys fought some shit fighters...doesnt make them any les of a great. SRR fought alot of bums too but look @ his record...174 wins and like 120+ KO's.

Where were these fighters in relation to Jones career at the time? Its like Saying Jones didnt fight Floyd.

I read your post, my comments werent to your post it was to the alot of the responces this thread was getting I just didnt hit the quote button Then im sorry

Fight Antonio Tarver, Tarver landed one jab in the first round and landed a lucky punch with his eyes closed in the second wow 52. Fight Antonio Tarver well you can’t win a fight if you throw just 8 punches in some rounds, don’t get what happened there to Roy . As you can see, many of them were champions or still are champions after their roybout. I don't care if i got something wrong, but i would love to show you, that many of your favourite boxers hadn't better oppositions. yeah good post, i was thinking of doing one of this myself for example julio cesar gonzalez was the first man to beat Dariusz Michalczewski(controversially, but still...), beat glen Johnson(controversial too)and still roy gets no credit for embarassing him... merqui sosa went 12 competitive rounds with michael nunn, he lasted two rounds with jones toney gets more credit for beating a competetive mccallum in 1997 than jones for beating him easily in 1996, if anything jones gets dissed for fighting "old as fuck" mccallum. eubank lost when he couldve fought jones in 1995, so Jones wouldve got nothing for beating him(besides eubank never wanted to fight him) benn chose to fight mclellan while Roy fought Toney, and after the tragic ending, was done,lost to thulani MALINGA(Destroyed by Jones) and clown Steve Collins, has accepted he wouldve got beat by Roy Collins had already lost to Reggie Johnson and McCallum (both lost to Roy)when he fought shells of theyre former selves Eubank and Benn, then in 1997 they couldnt agree to terms and Collins retires...... nunn... maybe a bad style match up for jones but i think jones wouldve beaten him.........and he wouldnt even get recognition for doing it. seriously he didnt NEED to fight, and no one really demanded that fight at the time it couldve meant something... Dariusz didnt want to fight Jones(maybe Jones didnt want to fight him too, a legitimate threat for him as Dariusz was a big strong light heavy...) so really i think the jones haters just bring this names up because they cant resist the idea that Jones was so good

Roy was a great fighter...but there was a time in his career when I had to 'Roycott' him.

Stop hatin' on the dude he fought who he fought, and did his thingthats true

Its again very funny, Total stranga and Mcalister didnt even read the thread, just the topic and have no idea what its about. Now I will get bad karma again for some ironic post, jeah dudes.

Everyone's record can be propped up to look better than it is, or smacked down to look worse than it is. It all depends on how much credibility you put into the champions and contenders of the time. However, NOTHING can excuse the claim of Benn vs Eubank drawing a worldwide audience of 1 BILLION people, for fucks sake.

Okay. then start a thread for a fighter who fought ALL names. The fact that he fought Toney negates your theory. And I wonder why you are trying to belittle one of the biggest names and talents in boxing. Jones would kick your ass, my ass and Henry Maske's ass.. FACT he did what few have done FACT2 you are hating like they did with Spinks in the 80's

bump, i just wanna se what everyone says.....

I rip him? I wrote a thread to show you, he had good opponents and you are all pissing me on^^ Perhaps some got too many shots at their head already

To the dumb bitch who wrote this and didn't get it: I just wanted to make an end to all the posters who say Jones just fought bums, by showing you again who and how he beat them all up. You know the word Ironic? Why should I show what his opponents achieved, if I'm against him? Many people didn't get it and gave me bad karma...too funny And you couldn't have explained it in a diffirent and easier way? Yeahh just expect everyone to get it without saying it first.

:eek: To the dumb bitch who wrote this and didn't get it: I just wanted to make an end to all the posters who say Jones just fought bums, by showing you again who and how he beat them all up.

To the little bitch who made this thread. I can do this any fighter. Its bullshit, like your posts. Roy would have beatn ALL of the guys in his era. He was too damn good for his own good.

Average? You are understating Toney was blew out of that fight from the getgo. The person who has the file still hasn't uploaded it to me yet, Zerwas.

Average? You are understating

It amazes me how people can sit back waaay after the fact and judge a fighter. Roy is one of the greatest boxers of all time. Its easy for people to sit back now and say he sucked or fought less competition. You dont accumulate that many wins and be an average fighter. Its not that these guys were bums, its just that Roy was that good. The greatest example is the Toney fight. He made Toney look average, and we all know Toney is an A list fighter. Stop the hate, its just disgusting.

As a boxing fan, didn't you fucking people actually WANT to see Roy Jones fight Benn, Eubank, G-Man, Mike Nunn and so on?? Wouldn't you of liked to see those fights? In 1992, he turned down Lamar Parks and Nigel Benn, and early in 1993 turned down Julian Jackson. It went on.. Gerald McClellan was turned down over again, then Mike Nunn for five years, Eubank was turned down in 96/97, and the European guys were turned down, too. As a boxing fan, I want to see those fights, it's frustrating. Atleast Chris Eubank admitted that he wouldn't defend against certain guys (Herol Graham, Mike McCallum, Mike Nunn, Roy Jones, James Toney) unless he was paid certain ammounts of money, that he was a businessman before he was a boxer. Jones wouldn't even admit it, infact Jones turned down the biggest money offer of his career to fight Eubank in Iran, so maybe it wasn't even money that would of got Jones into the ring?? Fucking annoying.G-man and Roy said they talked about fighting as pros but they wouldnt do it untill both were champions and the price was right .
