    You're all talk, and no evidence or links. You sir are a liar.

    Fact is the only thing DiBella ever sued Hopkins for was libel.

      I disagree with most of this. Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were brought along around the same time. Toney had more pro experience than Roy and Bhop, fighting all styles and not ducking nobody. Roy came out on top fair and square and without too much issue imo. Toney's weight excuse was only a thing after Jones pitched the shutout, but prior to that he went undefeated with the same pre fight weight issues.
      I watched him sweating it out daily, he busted his ass in the gym. I got it straight from Bill that James was out livin' it up with Dre and Snoop, doe, when he should have been resting his mind and his body. Roy Jones was incredible, but at the same time so was James. Imagine the fight that it could have been if he had taken that camp seriously.

              Stop making excuses for why a vastly inferior fighter lost to a vastly superior one. That's what happened.

              Had nothing to do with his "camp not being taken seriously". It was no different to any of his other camps despite magically pretending like it was.

                IronDanHamza, mention James Toney and he's so quick to take a sheet in the thread.

                I got that info straight from Bill Miller (rip), but I guess you were there Hamza and you speak from what you saw.

                Love him or hate him, James could fight..................Rockin'

                  imo. If he had possessed the dedication he could have become a top ATG.

                    Tired, boring narrative.

                    You can continue making excuses all you like if it makes you feel better, the reality is he lost because he's vastly inferior to Roy Jones as a fighter. No other reason.

                      He from Texas... remember the drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket? he is going to work on the recruits and comes to the guy from Texas and says "Texas! Only steers and q u e e rs come from Texas and you do not look like a steer to me!"
