Flashback...Rivals Roid Jones, Jr ducked: Steve Collins (and more)

[robertzimmerman]

Sounds like you spend your alone time on sites the rest of you don't and would rather not know about.

Don't you think it's a little inappropriate to be discussing another man's self-gratification practices here? And is Mr. Collins aware these personal photos are available on line?

Does Roy Jones know that your creepy infatuation isn't limited to him?

As for that creepy infatuation... what do you consider to be Jones' finest performance? And who do you rank as his most impressive opponent/scalp?

If you want to keep insulting me, go ahead.

If you want to claim that I'm a biased fan boy, go ahead.

If you want to try and be witty, go ahead.

The truth is this:

That is all you can offer up as a reply, because you CANNOT REFUTE any of what I've said in my previous posts.

Regarding Roy's most impressive scalp, (not that you're really interested in my opinion) I personally think it's the Tarver fight, just because of the circumstances.

Roy was almost 35, it was his 50th fight, and he'd had to burn muscle in a 2 month period just to make the weight. He literally had to rush the weight off from the Ruiz fight. He was still big in August of 2003, where he briefly considered fighting Corrie Sanders. And speaking as a huge fan, I'm so thankful that he never took that fight. Because I personally feel that Sanders would have crushed him. Stylistically, it was just a horrible match up for him.

He then signed to fight Tarver the following month. Although Tarver wasn't an ATG, he was a very dangerous opponent for Roy. He was a very motivated and confident southpaw, who was big with good skills and movement. And if you watch the fight, you'll see that Roy was absolutely exhausted by the 2nd half of the fight. If it'd have been an old 15 round fight, I don't know if he'd have seen the final bell.

Taking that Tarver fight under those circumstances just shows you that he wasn't risk adverse. And it just makes a mockery of the notion that he purposely tried to avoid guys like Steve Collins.

If you seriously believe that Roy only had 2 notable wins in his career, then I'd love to see what criteria you use when rating a fighter, as well who your favourite fighters are. Because that statement is absolutely ridiculous.
