I'd be so happy if JR pulled a win. Only because I want to see Roy finish his career with a bang. Gotta respect Roy. :headbang:
Don't worry-he will finish his career with a "bang"...when his head hits that canvas in the later rounds or the ref jumps in.
...losing to Jones now would tarnish everything he has accomplished in the past.
No it wouldn't. Not at that age. That would mean Roy's legacy is ALREADY tarnished as well...
Could you say the same about Ali, Ray Leonard, Duran etc?
Would you be shocked?:boxing:

I heard George stopped to spend time with his kids, but he sure did raise Merchant's hackles. Merchant (Lampley too sometimes) seemed to cringe every time George opened his mouth. George was (in)famous for saying some crazy, non-sensical and contradictory shit, but he also came up with some really insightful gems from time to time. I thought he was pretty damn good. Better than Roy IMO. Roy was better than Lennox though.
George did a good job made things more entertaining, Lennox is boring.
Where did you read that? I'm curious cause I always wondered why George left. I assumed it was because he was tired of the bias BS that Lampley and Steward spewed every fight.

Roy was a good commentator. He was absolutely better than Lennox Lewis & he never hated on the fighters. But anyway that bigot Larry Merchant couldn't stand him that's why he isn't there anymore. Same thing happened with Big George Foreman.

I would want Roy to go back to being a commentator again...He was pretty good.

I would, but the more I think about it, something crazy is going to happen (like Hopkins twisting his knee and Roy pushing him through the ropes or something) and Roy is going to come out on top. The ref will call it a legit KO and Roy will declare himself the #1 P4P fighter in the world again.

No he wasn't. He knows the fight game for sure, but his enormous megalomaniac ego made it impossible for him to stop talking about himself the whole time. Tarver, incidentally, is better than Roy behind the mic too.
It would be better for Bernard if this fight had even happened a year ago. Roy is now even older & was the victim of a 1st rd KO in his last fight. If Bernard loses to Roy at this point in his career then Bernards legacy is severely tarnished. Roy is shot & everybody knows it either way.
Not really, but I wanna see Hopkins gets knockout, its never been done before. B-Hop doesnt really need to fight washed up Roy, and losing to Jones now would tarnish everything he has accomplished in the past.
