looks like Jones is acting like a Diva, i hope Anthony Hanshaw lays roy jones out -
Mayweather Sr. IS a bum though, but I am talking more about his personal qualities(as shown in public) rather then fighting ability, although it was never the allstar either.Comment

This fight is heating up. I just hope there's fireworks in the ring.Comment

Am I wrong for not even knowing who Henshaw is until I found out that Jones is gonna fight him?Comment

Looks like this is heating up with all the trash talk that's going on. I would like to see Roy win and get that once last shot at a title.Comment

I did not know of Henshaw either. But, I have never been a Roy fan so if he loses, it won't bother me.Comment

Hanshaw-Jones Dispute Escalates!
Hanshaw-Jones dispute escalates!

Bad blood between the Roy Jones Jr. and Anthony Hanshaw camps continued to boil Tuesday as the two prepare to fight in a scheduled 12-round bout for the IBC light heavyweight title Saturday night at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. For the second straight day, the Hanshaw team was physically barred from using the boxing ring and various bags, owned by Jones, at the host IP Casino-Resort-Spa. "I am getting sick of all this King Roy crap," the undefeated Hanshaw said. "My people are calling the hotel and the operators answer by saying, 'This is the home of Roy Jones.' And look at the posters and billboards and TV ads. They have my name so small you need a magnifying glass to see it. I will make Jones pay in that ring."
Meanwhile, Jones' longtime trainer "Coach" Alton Merkerson, commonly known as Merk, reacted to public comments made Monday by Hanshaw's trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. Merkerson was more than irritated to read that Mayweather referred to Jones as "a glass-chinned bum." Merkerson said, "I got a message for Mayweather. You tell him any comments between these two athletes is one thing. That is okay. But the only for sure bum around here is Mayweather. Make sure you tell him I said that. Let's keep the comments between the two athletes." As a precaution for rising tempers, promoter Murad Muhammad (once a Muhammad Ali bodyguard), has hired an expert security detail to keep things cool at all future pre-fight meetings between the fighters.
