It's sad this guy has gotten to the point where he needs to choose these weak opponents so he can showboat and feel good about himself. All the talking and showboating he did in the lacy fight made me feel a little bad for the guy. Now i hear he's going to fight danny green in november. :nonono: Seriously Roy if you really want to give back to us fans that have supported you, If you really want to gain some fans back, if you really want to prove something to yourself instead of being delusional with these weak opponents, then go out there and did what you did tonight in a rematch with tarver, a rematch with johnson, a rematch with bhop, call out calzaghe, and shit call out the winner of dawson/johnson. Because being in the ring trying to give people the impression that you are something that you are not anymore is not working. YOu really want to impress the boxing fans and get some due respect back go out and show that you are not scared, because your choice of opposition shows you are not too confident in yourself no matter how much you play it off in the ring against these lesser guys.
No we dont. The problem is ROY thinks those guys will beat him. His mentality is not there no more! If he was able to get over this mental problem he has the fear of getting hit he can do what he did tonight against anybody!
I have to disagree. Jones is what he is now. His defensive reflexes are gone. He looked really good against Lacy because Lacy does not know the meaning of a jab or straight punch. Jones let him inside and smothered all his hooks just like he did with Trinidad.
Anyone with a good jab spells trouble for Jones right now unfortunately because he will get hit with it and whatever follows it.
No hoe can't. Lacy fukking sucks, and Jones recently struggled with Trinidad. He's done.
no he didn't he took trinidad to school and was hot doggin him all night as i remember based off that performance i thought he stood a good chance of beating Calzaghe.
look im a roy fan to the death but im willing to admitt that he is no where near the level he once was but when that level was one of the best pound for pound fighters of your era you can be slightly excused for fallin off imo
you can't be invincible forever look how shit Tyson was towards the end of his career losing to bums like Mcbride it still don't mean he weren't a great heavyweight champion
end of the day Lacy had only lost two professional fights up untill last night against quality opponents such as Taylor and Calzaghe so he can't be that much of a smuck
Prince Ajamu was a smuck as was Sheika at least Lacy had name at one stage
don't take nothing away from Jones' performance last night it was impeccable and one of his best for a while when was the last time you saw Lacys corner call it a day yeah i thought so. he's never been stopped so stop calling him a bum beacuse when Calzaghe beat him everyone was sucking Joe's dick and saying how well he'd done. either Lacys a bum or not and if so what does that say about Calzaghe that was his best win
I'm thinking that if Roy believes he can continue winning without getting knocked out again, the road to a title shot will be around the corner some time soon for him.
Guess we can't blame the guy for doing what he still enjoys doing.
But it'll take a miracle for him to look like his old self and reclaim the P4P status he once claimed against better opposition.
It's possible, if you believe in the George Foreman Miracle.
first off jones is shot and does'nt have anything left to prove
second, he has just recently been battered by joe calzaghe and has to again start from scratch
ever hear of tune ups? he has mention countless times about getting another title, and fighting johnson in a rematch
he won against sheika and lost to calzaghe last year, let him have his bums this year and again challenge for a title next year
***....
exactly,roy is fighting his way back to contender status. hopkins has said he wants the winner of dawson-johnson in 2010, i could see roy takin on the loser if he gets past green.

Huh, struggles against Trinidad? No trinidad won 2 whole rounds that fight, Then got dominated.
Hey buddy, if you dont like to watch legends fight, dont watch!
Who cares if it was a B level guy, its entertaining and it brings a hell of a lot more fans in than a "Tactical" Lennox or Klitschko fight.
Umm I guess you didn't see the empty seats last night. And why do you compare to lennox or klitschko? Which by the way watch vitali vs chris next month and then tell me what fight had more people.

So what if Roy is no longer choosing the best opponents, he's having fun and making money. He isn't delusional, he knows who he can still look good against. Most people enjoyed seeing he way he fought tonight.
you sound like a mother encouraging her bench warming son to just go out there and have fun.
Roy is shot. Let him fight B level guys. We all know the fihgters you mentioned will beat him.
