Thats The Best I've Seen Roy Jones Jr. Look Since The John Ruiz Fight...

so did Roy look good to beat say Hopkins again? maybe Glen Johnson? or possibly Joe Calzaghe?...did he look that impressive?...man I need to DL the fight..

Yeah your right.... not aruging that. I agree.

Thats bs, Roy and Floyd both are known to fight off the ropes. Why are you brining Floyd into this?? Last I looked this is a Roy Jones Jr Thread! Yes your right Roy is known to fight off the ropes and is known to go to the ropes to set up counters. But that wasnt the only case tonight(as in his last fight right away from the opening bell.). I thought roy should have thrown more combos and stay way from the ropes more then he did. He wasnt on the ropes just to open counters tonight like in the past...

He dont need to fight tito and retire... he can still make some noise.. If he keeps active he will get better.. and possibly have 2-3 yrs left in boxing. yeah but he should just retire he's already made history and established himself as a great fighter sure lock for the hof if he beats tito he can good out on a high note - somethin we rarely see in boxing although i would like to see roy destroy calzaghe, get revenge against tarver and or glen johnson, but i dont see those fights happening

Roy's got to stay active. Dont lay off for a year again. Come back and fight again within 4 to 6 months. Keep sharpening back up his skills

He dont need to fight tito and retire... he can still make some noise.. If he keeps active he will get better.. and possibly have 2-3 yrs left in boxing.

im glad roy won hopefully he can fight tito and the retire a winner

For a year layoff fighting a real good prospect with very impressive amateur resume, I have to say Roy looked good in there.. If he keeps active he will sharpen up more and be better next time around.. It made my night.. it bugged me he didnt finish him when he could of though.. he had the kid on dream street..

It was a good performance by Roy... But the ropes is a bad place its like fire to a fighter. But I think with Roy taking the layoff and everything its a given.

hahaha roids rjj? evidence then ok?

we knew all these threads were going to come out after rjj wooped that ass its nothing new to use rjj fans but please stop.......

There will never be that gifted of a fighter as long as we live. The "I'll plod and throw what I think are fast combinations while landing on a totally outclassed bum maybe acting like I'm fleet footed SRR" or the "Hmm....I'll hang on to my outside the ring antics and when I'm in the ring backpeddle while maintaining a pathetic K.O. % but I'm so cool because I backhand the jab" Ali don't compare to the greatest Hybrid knockout artist/Boxing grandmaster of all time. Nobody is half the pure boxer roy is. Roy > Ali +Srr. shut it....

Heavyweight champs: Klitschko, Chagaev, Maskaev, Ibragimov Yeah I could see Roy beating Ibragimov if he got with Shilstone again to go back up in weight and employed a JAB like he did vs Ruiz. But even then...might be a longshot. Better stick with the Tito plan...then entice Jermain Taylor to come to 175 after he beats Pavlik.

yeah baby, roy and gomez won and margarito lost!!! great night for boxing for me....

Jones Jr. dazzles crowd, wins 12-round unanimous decision vs. Hanshaw Associated Press BILOXI, Miss. -- Roy Jones Jr. winked at the crowd, wiggled his hips and mixed in a few high-steps as he trotted toward his first opponent in nearly a year. There was plenty of show, but no knock-out blow. The 38-year-old is still entertaining in the ring and he can still win, but the sudden knockout victories for which he was known may be a thing of the past. Jones took a 12-round, unanimous decision against previously undefeated Anthony Hanshaw on Saturday night, capturing the vacant IBC light heavyweight title. "They say you've got to pass the torch? Well, you've got to pass it when the times comes and I think my time hasn't come yet," Jones said. "I've got a little more business I have to clean up." The scorecards favored Jones 114-113, 117-110 and 118-109. It was the second straight victory for Jones, but only the second win in five fights for the former middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight champion. Hanshaw, 29, gave Jones all he could handle, although Jones insisted Hanshaw would be a tough opponent for anyone. "A lot of people say, 'if you're going to fight, fight somebody that's easy.' I don't believe in fighting people that are easy. I believe in taking on a challenge," Jones said. "I was really glad to see Hanshaw had the heart that I thought he had, because this shows you that he's going to be a problem for some of these guys in the future." The decisive moment came in the 11th round, when Jones (51-4) landed a quick right to free himself from the ropes, then staggered Hanshaw with a left-right combination. Hanshaw (21-1-1) stumbled and fell to his knees after Jones appeared to bump him. The pro-Jones crowd stood and cheered as if they expected the fight to end, but Hanshaw was back up after a few seconds and quickly regained his form for the rest of the round. The crowd rejoiced when Jones' victory was announced, but Hanshaw thought he was robbed. "I put the pressure on him. I backed him up all the rounds. He won like two or three rounds," Hanshaw said. "He's a legend, but I won the fight." In his younger days, Jones was renowned for being so quick he could keep his hands at his sides and dance away from danger before landing a big punch in the blink of an eye. But in recent years he had struggled to retain that form, and the first round was no different. Jones flailed at air on his first several big punches, then found himself backed against the ropes, fending off a barrage from Hanshaw on four occasions. But as the bell sounded, Jones sauntered back to his corner unfazed, even winking at the crowd. Early in the second round, he brought the crowd to its feet when he got off the ropes with a sudden blow to the head that backed away the aggressive Hanshaw. A minute later he landed a left with a thud that enlivened the crowd again, and the fight was quickly on level terms. The 29-year-old Hanshaw, ranked 11th in the super middleweight division by the IBF, is trained by Floyd Mayweather Sr., who said in the run-up to the fight that he and Hanshaw had "a plan" for Jones in the sixth and seventh rounds. Jones had predicted he would knock out Hanshaw before the bells ever sounded on those rounds. Instead, the middle rounds were relatively unspectacular, with Jones spending much of the time backed against the ropes, fending off dozens of close-range punches from Hanshaw. But few seemed well-placed or powerful enough to stop Jones from mockingly wiggling his hips or high-stepping when he danced free. The crowd delighted in Jones' antics, and it was essentially a home fight for him. Jones is from Pensacola, Fla., about a two-hour drive away, and has fought often on the Gulf Coast. Hanshaw's arrival was met with mostly boos before the crowd roared when Jones entered the ring wearing a black-and-gold, Roman gladiator-like outfit. Jones said he looks forward to fighting again and could be ready in a couple months if necessary. "I'm not going to go home and get out of shape," Jones promised. "I'm going to stay in shape, and whoever wants it, they can come on and get it." ESPN

shame on you non believers roy is the man

LOL. That's the sh**. Roy was landing some crucial body blows on Hanshaw. But he got bullied to the ropes too much as well. Against Tito, Roy should confuse him with a jab and take his block off with a 3-2-3 combo. There will never be that gifted of a fighter as long as we live.

Did Roy look good enough to beat some heavyweights? That's where I want to see him go. I was suprised how much punishment he was able to take. After the Tarver/Johnson fights Roy seemed very vulnerable. In this fight he layed on the ropes took alot of shots and fired back. I don't know about him fighting heavyweights though, atleast not the huge ones.
