To all the armchair groupies who swore that Roy would win:

My fine mate, I havent seen the fight because i just knew what the outcome would be, I also heard that the fight was great TV but i just knew RJJ has lost too much down the line for him to beat Joe C. Word up. We always do the big PPV fights like a family affair so I don't got a choice about it. :) But I hear you. When it comes to a fight that isn't real meaningful in boxing terms ---- but is a big event --- the most you can really expect is just a entertaining spectacle. One thing I'm glad is Roy finished the fight with his pride all there.

What up, Ray. The first half of the fight was great television boxing. 100% entertainment. And the fighters made it like a double act. It turned out to be worth watching for that. But when the shit got ugly. It was hard to watch if you ever been a fan of Roy.

There would alway be the odd upset but this fight was soooo easy to pick that i didnt even bother watching it.. What up, Ray.

This is one of the best threads today, The problem about fans are we arent boxing fans anymore but fanatics....If you take out a boxers nationality,colour,personality and our tinted rose glass then fights are easier to pick based on skills and the fighters standing at the time of the fight. There would alway be the odd upset but this fight was soooo easy to pick that i didnt even bother watching it..

I'll be 100% honest I picked Roy, but I was wicked unsure of myself. I agree that Calslappy took the showboating shit too far with Roy which you mentioned in another thread. People will say that Roy did that shit all his career. But Calslappy is a fan of Roy. So there should have been more respect. That stuff was fun in the first half of the fight. But when shit started to get ugly. Calslappy needed to be more professional. Roy have been good to Joe. There was no need to do what he did late rounds. But when you so badly want to be something to the point of envy. I guess the admiration becomes resentment and makes you want to destroy that thing you trying to emulate. Joe did say he could have won a title @ heavyweight if he ever wanted to. But he never actually did. And that is the difference. Roy did big things. Joe have just talked about doing big things. :)

I felt Calzaghe would win, but I was pulling for Roy. A lot of people thought Jones could pull off another upset like Hopkins. joshua clottey speaks the truth, trust me!

You was one of the cooler Roy supports throughout this. Although you picked Roy. You made it clear you was hoping Roy could pull it off. Which showed levelheadedness instead of fist pumping idiocy. Dan Rafael is a dumbass. I'll be 100% honest I picked Roy, but I was wicked unsure of myself.

No need for proof when flaming and hate is the only reason for making this thread. Evidence is something never used by the threadstarter. Says the hypocrite who only came in to flame. You want me to name every poster who was guilty of that fist-pumping shit? Fuckouttahere.

LOL@ you're not naming names...:D No need for proof when flaming and hate is the only reason for making this thread. Evidence is something never used by the threadstarter.

He scared the crap out of a lot of people when he dropped Joe in the first, though. If he hit Calslappy a lil harder with that forearm and KO'd him. I would have laughed my ass off. What a comical way that would be for Calslappy to lose. It was funny enough just to see him get KD that way.

every dog has their day. Dan Rafeal also pick Roy Jones. Sometimes your right, sometimes your wrong. thats the way it is. You was one of the cooler Roy supports throughout this.

You know shit about boxing. There was a reason why some of us Hopkins supports picked B-Hop to beat Calslappy. Bernard had enough left physically and mentally. Hop did beat Calslappy imo and could do it again even more clearly if he gets the chance. But that is a whole other thread. This isn't inviting you to start that debate agin. The point is. There was also a reason why a few of us who actually have a understanding of the sport knew Roy couldn't win. I'm talking about individuals like DiegoFuego. Bsrizpac. And also myself. Who were levelheaded enough to comprehend that the qualities which made Roy the fighter he was have degenerated badly from a combination of the neurological damage inflicted by cutting a ton of muscle weight too quick and getting waxed by Tarver and Glencoffe plain old ordinary age Most notable his reflexes and his mobility around the ring. You cannot overstate how key those qualities were to making Roy the Superman he was back when. Those abilities will still flicker in Roy from time to time during a fight. But flicker is all they do. He can't put it together like he did before. You seeing a shadow of his greatness. That is sad. And yall deluded ones might not have wanted to accept it. But it is the reality. The dumb thing is. Most of you clowns didn't even attempt to qualify it by acknowledging you were picking Roy with your emotions. Some of you actually tried to rationalize your wishful thinking with poor attempts at boxing logic and swore that a Roy this far away from his prime would be able to crush a fighter who was not Elite level, but A level very close to his physical prime in his mental prime I won't name names but yall know who you are. And you embarrassed citizens of the USA and the real Roy fans on this forum with that bullshit. Because of you. A crew of bitchy, dizzyheaded, hypocritical Brits now have license to talk shit at Americans and legitimate Roy Jones Jr. supports like we all a crew of irrational fangirls. I am a big Roy support. I wanted to see him win as much as any yall. But I knew it wouldn't happen. And don't let the KD in the 1st round confuse any you simple-minded dumbasses. Roy hit him with a forearm. If Calslappy had not of answered the count, it would have been a freak KO. Like I said before the fight. Winning agin this Roy proved nothing for Calslappy. :boxing: LOL@ you're not naming names...:D

I gave Roy a chance, but didn't get my hopes up too high after watching his last few fights. He scared the crap out of a lot of people when he dropped Joe in the first, though. Roy looked too relaxed and uncertain of himself before the fight , IMHO.

every dog has their day. Dan Rafeal also pick Roy Jones. Sometimes your right, sometimes your wrong. thats the way it is.

Dogg is killin dudes up in here!!

@ 'Duke McKenzie' You not going anywhere except the basement of your ashamed parents. But wherever you go. Make it a permanent vacation. You lowly piece of garbage.

Read the thread, you remedial fuckwit. I'm talking about the idiocy of some fangirls. And you an even bigger fangirl than the ones I'm talking to task. So you have absolutely no part no play in any discussion which might ensue on this thread. Get the fuck out.
