Why did Roy never fight someone who could test his glass jaw?

    I would favour Jones in this fight however unlike yourself i do not think it is gosepel that Jones beats Benn

    it is ridiculous how people seem to think Roy didnt needed to fight Collins,Benn ,Eubank ,Darius, Nunn ,Hopkins & Toney again because he was the best fighter in the world ,so he dont even have to share a ring with these fighters cause it is dead cert that Roy would have beaten all

    should i remind the RJJ nuthuggers that he was outboxed by Montell Griffin
    & i dare say nobody expected Griffin to be outboxing him & Griffin didnt have lightening speed

    and u can make all the excuses u want for Roy but there is no reason why he should nt have faced people like Nunn yet he found the time to beat the likes of Frazier ,kelly ,hall,telesco,lucas LMFAO
    Why do you keep ****ing on about the griffin fight? Jones didnt look great in that fight but if he hadnt got reckless he would have won by knockout anyway, how about talking about the rematch to show what he could do when focused? the closest we can ge to the afformentioned fights is common opponents: Sugar Boy Malinga, beat benn and twice took eubank close-Malinga was destroyed early on in jones's career. Next up, reggie johnson who beat steve collins was completely dominated by jones who knocked him down three times and mercifully let him make the final bell.......get real divad jones beat toney and hopkins handily so why the rematch? Nunn was finished by the time jones emerged as champion at 168. lets face up, your right there are no certainties in boxing but jones would have been a big favourite v calzaghe for good reason, just admit that in all likelyhood jones would have won. as for the title of this thread...what a ****in joke

      He's right, Griffin was out boxing him good and proper and he's a dwarf.

          you boys not seen the griffin rematch? or just refuse to give roy credit for fighting someone again that gave him a tough fight and knocked him out in stunning fashion second time around? did calzaghe give Reid a rematch?

            Mike McCallum...had he been a couple years younger i think he would have beaten jones in their fight. he was 40 when they faced each other in 1996 and he had roy hurt.

            it's a good fight to watch if you can get it.

                Yup McCallum is another one who would of beat Roy in his prime. Roy was losing to Montell besides the knockdown so he decided to cheat his way out of it.

                Lets not forget that Roy was a steroid abuser too, adds to his unconvincing fights.

                  the rematch was the sickest **** ever..

                  one punch from jones made griffin fly across the ring..

                  jones would most definately tap JC if they fought.. JC isnt much of a boxer.. yes i said it.. yes.. read it again.. he is an offensive machine with a good chin..
                  when has he should ring generalship or DEFENSE!

                  jones boxes circles around u.. and would pik calzaghe to pieces..

                    what do you mean 'another one who would of beat jones'? its clear to all that you have a very limited knowledge of boxing and indeed fighters. you havnt replied to my previous threads regarding common opponents or are you to young to remember those bouts?
