I Feel Like Superman Died

It hit all the RJJ army hard, real hard!

im feeling the same way. after seeing him get beat, it really hit me that he really is done. I knew his career was almost over, but it did hit me on Saturday extra hard...

Remember, you can still be a fan even though his career is over. Theres people out there that are still big Ali fans, and Ali hasn't fought since 1981. No doubt. That's why we have video footage. Roy will tell ya

Cot dam what kind of tint of black is he on? lol... A few shades down from this mo fo... http://www.visitandlearn.co.uk/Portals/0/affiliatedlinks/Linvoy%20Primus.jpg

After watching the Roy Jones Jr. fight saturday night, I got this empty feeling inside. The legend is dead, long gone are the days of hitting from behind his back, or sticking his face out trying to get James Toney to copy him, only to nail him down with a super fast punch. We should all bow our heads in a moment of silence, and wear black armbands. I'm not upset with Joe beating Roy. And i'm not upset with Roy's performance, i'm upset with father time and taking away the skills of yet another of our greatest champions. Later that night after the fight, there was a ppv show called "Knockouts", and the description described it as a collection of spectacular knockouts from todays stars including pound for pound great Roy Jones Jr. In tribute to Superman, I watched. It was even more depressing seeing how great he really was and what he had left that night. I would kill for the 1988 Roy Jones to be coming back up through the ranks. How great would it be if Mike Tyson's career was just starting? I am saddened when I think about it too hard. I had some friends and family over to watch the fight, and none of them keep up with boxing. I had to try and get them to believe how great Roy Jones Jr. was, but they found it hard to believe after watching the fight. If only it could have been Roy Jones vs. James Toney or Virgil Hill that took place that night, that way they would understand how great he was and why I root for him so hard. I could go on forever, but I wont because I think I am going to cry. R.I.P. great champion, live you life healthy and wealthy while you are still wise. Thank you for the memories, you will always be considered the greatest pound for pound fighter of my generation. And in the future I know we will all see you whipping Ray Robinson, Leonard, Hagler, Duran, Hearns, Hopkins, and the rest up in boxing valhalla where legends never die, they just keep fighting. I had the same problem with people from work. I just gave up in the end in full knowledge that I was right and they was wrong, and then I went and bought this.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=280282536425

Yep, killed by the black lex luther http://www.canadastarboxing.com/images/fighters/antonio-tarver-0508-0602.jpg Cot dam what kind of tint of black is he on? lol...

man superman died 5 years ago Same thoughts. I remember when Roy got knocked out by Tarver and somebody posted up the video right after the fight. The Camera was in the room while the fight was going on and when Roy was knocked down...the kid was like: Oh, No, get up boo, get up...cry, cry, cry. Probably not nearly as bad as seeing Joe Louis being Knocked out by Marciano. People say that was a sad moment. Even Marciano cried.

Good thread. RJJ = Superman Hopkins = Batman. I'd rather be Batman with all the gadgets and knowledge and fighting skills because even though Superman is superior, what happens if his powers get taken away. He turns into Clark Kent and can't even beat a hillbilly in a fist fight.

Remember, you can still be a fan even though his career is over. Theres people out there that are still big Ali fans, and Ali hasn't fought since 1981.

I feel you mate. Roy Jones was one of my idols growing up as a kid. I ****ing loved the bloke but watching him the other night really was hard to watch, it was his boxing funeral and i almost felt like crying for him at the end. He needs to retire. Get some rest Roy!

the best way to look at it is like this. It doesn't matter who it is, or what it is, all things have to come to an end on this earth. So theres nothing we can do about it, its just the way it is. I wish Michael Jordan was playing basketball still, but hes not. Roy Jones Jr. most likely will never box again. All we can do is watch the old tapes and enjoy what was. Thats why I intend on doing, I'll always look back at his career like I do with other fighters.

yeah it was pretty ****ed up.but i didn't enjoy him doing to tito, what joe did to him.it was odd, but it i expected it.

ya, kinda sad but ah well.
