If Roy Jones Jr Never Left 168.....

[-Swizzy-]

But he did. He talked about fighting Jones in America several times. This is the same lame "stay at home" cop out that gets used with any potential challenger to an American fighter.

Jones was the one who stated on German television that he would fight Dariusz but only for $10m.

tunney... jus leave it alone my dude...

people have said the same thing about u around here...

my suggestion is just to leave it alone

"bsrizpac" just made several posts insulting me...

Why is it wrong for me to fight back?

[THE REED]

The question is who the **** is Tunney now? Is it the old Tunney or a new Tunney alt? I know that Tunney changed the name on his primary account to Dr. Ironfist.

it rreally doesnt matter bro...best bet is just keep your knowledge and debate on the topic you know? that way we dont have to worry about internet tough guy ****...

IronFist! and Tunney are both Tunney...

Sweet Pea 50 stole Tunney's name for a while but he has changed it back now.

i understand ur perspective on not ranking roy as high as he should be based on some fights that never took place...

but on a strictly yes/no question....

Do you think there was any fighter at SMW or LHW, while Roy was in the division.. that would actually have truly beaten him at the time>?

I understand the thought that there were excellent fighters in the division like Benn, MClellan, Eubank, Calzaghe.. DM.


But if you were placing odds on each one of these fights... would you favor Roy over all of them realistically?

I wouldn't favour any of them over Jones but I've said before that I only rank boxers based on what actually happened in the ring, not what could have happened in the ring...

It's why you see Ike Ibeabuchi, Vitali Klitschko and Rid**** Bowe in some people's top 10 HW rankings.

Fact is that Roy Jones lost twice to the best fighter he fought in the LHW division, Antonio Tarver.
Griffin, Hill, Harding, Gonzales, Woods, even the one Tarver win put him in consideration but I simply would not rank him top 5/top 3 like many others do.

That's fine, and I completely see where you're coming from when it comes to placing him in the books...

I was just curious if you thought any of those fighters would have actually beat Roy, had they ever stepped in the ring.

You know I always respect your opinion on here.
