That wasn't the real roy jones in the ring with either of those guys.
This^^^
As far as I'm concerned Roy Jones last fight was 1st March 2003, when he beat John Ruiz at heavyweight.
He was never the same after coming back down in weight from that fight.
So not even Tarver or Johnson get any credit for blasting out Roy? Jones fans are hilarious, losses count too and they do harm your legacy, at least the Tarver and Johnson losses should.
Tarver and Johnson should absolutely get credit for beating him because at that time he was still a very good fighter.
What I'm saying is that it was clear in the first fight with Tarver that he wasn't the same. He looked flat and vulnerable, and things just got progressively worse from there.
Seems a little premature? He was talking up the Mayweather fight in December, and look what happened...
Exactly. I hate to hear about negotiations in this manner.
For some reason I just can't see Chisora getting knocked out. I just hope the fight lives up to expectations.
I can't pick a winner, but I think Haye is gonna have trouble with Del Boy's smothering style.
I honestly can't believe that they are going ahead with this, especially since Martinez and Chavez are fighting on the same night. Shouldn't Golden Boy at least be trying to compete with Top Rank?
I'm gonna go with Khan busting his man up for a late stoppage, I can't see Garcia being able to cope with Khans speed and movement. You never know with boxing though, nothing surprises me that much any more!
I think that he definitely looks the goods so far and seems to be getting better and better. Only time will tell but IMO he's got a very bright future!
No biggy, I wish you the best of luck with your stay here. Green karma on the way. It's not much but its something.
Thanks a lot dude, much appreciated. :)
I think Floyd would probably give away a few rounds but other than that I cant see how. I like Bradley because he's tough and dedicated but he just isn't versatile enough as we all saw against Manny. His Power is also pretty average which never helps at the higher levels!
i think your right canelo on cinco de mayo, if mayweather did fight this year tho i reckon his ppv numbers would b high since people would wanna see what jail did 2 him
Got to agree with that. It would make a hell of a lot of sense for him to fight this year from a financial standpoint, and maybe for that reason he'll surprise a lot of people like me and decide to do it. Nothings ever for sure with Mayweather as we all know!
Manny simply cannot deal with movement and that has been showed over and over again,add in his style,age and mental state and his career is coming to a end and thats fine cause he far exceeded expectations and went from nothing to a world wide phenom

Though I don't think his career will end at the hands of Bradley judging by the first fight, but that's just my take.
Probably stayed champ for at least a year, but if the stories are true, alcoholism is a very serious thing and he may have been derailed before that. He might have celebrated too much just as in defeat he wallowed too long.
Agreed, I think that alcoholism would've got to him anyway as it seemed to be a growing problem even before the Hopkins fight.
He doesn't look sh1t, he has only had 5 fights..
But yeah, he hasn't got knockout power for sure.
He's still got a lot of shots in his locker, great speed and with some work on defence and more fights under his belt, I reckon he will turn into a very good fighter.
Yeah I'm impressed with his skills and would love him to do well as I was a big fan of his father. Its just that it worries me a little when journeyman can walk through his punches as they have been to get their own shots off.
I've just remembered though, wasn't Nathan Cleverly a bit like this early on his career?
I think its extremely unlikely that he will fight again this year, especially if the reports of how he's finding it in jail are true. Obviously I could be wrong though. For some reason I can see him fighting Khan and Canelo in the new year then calling it a day.
I'm starting to think that this Garcia guy is a major dick. Its fair enough to talk trash before a fight, but getting racial is taking it too far. Props to Khan for turning the other cheek.
I've been a fan of John Simpson for years. Really hope he gets his opportunity to fight for the European title. Simpson is as hard as nails, never in a bad fight and has been at the wrong end of many decisions where it was thought he deserved the nod.
I can't wait the see this one. IMO Jones is the perfect opponent for us all to find out what Brook is made of! Kell's an excellent fighter and I honestly see big things for him, but sometimes he gets clipped and Carson can punch. That's what makes this fight so intriguing for me!
