Roy Jones: "I Told DiBella, Turn Down Pavlik"

[moofo]

you should be thankful.. there is no worse opponont for calzaghe than Jones Jr.. Prime Roy?? gosh that would be a scary beating..

And for the haters.. Atleast Roy says how it is.

Shame he didn't have the plums to make it happen.

[me2007]

why do people talk about RJJ as if he was God? He had some amazing skills but was caught doping. Doesn`t this mean anything to you people. And don`t give some **** about someone putting something in his coffee, remember BALCO.

The longer you guys ignore these issues of drugs and hold these people in high esteem, the more kids coming into the sport will think its acceptable.

In a recent interview with BoxingScene.com's Bill Emes, former four-division champion Roy Jones Jr. said that he issued a warning to promoter Lou DiBella to have then middleweight champion Jermain Taylor stay away from fighting his mandatory, Kelly Pavlik. Jones says that he knew Taylor was going to be knocked out by Pavlik. [details]

Freudian slip there. This is how Roy played the game during his LHW career. If the fight looked tough, take the easy one, take the less money, avoid the toughest challenge.

Roys saying that its better to get beat by somebody people know which is Roy then to get beat by somebody that people don't know that great. Bottom line is though that Pavlik deserved his shot at the middleweight champ and Roy didn't even if that fight would have taken place at 168-170.

Like he did to calzaghe. When Roy was in his prime, Calzaghe wanted roy. Roy didn't want Calzaghe.

How many fights has Calzaghe had at 175. Thats right 0. Guys been saying for years he was going to go to 175 but never done it.

Roy Jones is one of those people who knows more boxing than most anyone talking about it. But he has too much self-interest in this topic.

Roy Jones like Fake Floyd weaved and ducked.

Grow up.

Grow up.

Grow up? Because I said Roy knows a lot about boxing?

[Joartcc3]

He knows a lot about boxing...

But you forgot to add ducking and weaving.

The proper sentence would be...

"RJJ knows a lot about boxing.... with respect to ducking and weaving".

Now that's a complete sentence.

at least Taylor has the balls to take tough fights like Pavlik,Hopkins and Winky.

yet he doesn't get credit for it...that was the nicest thing I've heard anyone say about Taylor in the boxing internet world

Hopkins x2 (top P4P), Winky (top P4P), Ouma, Spinks, Pavlik...

he's not always impressive...but that is no walk in the park...

4-1-1 with those guys? ain't so shabby
