Did Roy duck Joe when Roy was in his prime???
Anyone got actual proof that Roy ducked Joe when Roy was in his prime? Don't come back with that 2006 article either cause that won't wash and Frank Warren was doing the talking and he sprays nothing but ****!
Carry on!Comment

If I was Joe id fight Pavlik, easier fight more recognition! But if the Pavlik bubble bursts soon and he gets owned/exposed by say Kessler or someone like that then his name aint so hot in the long run, Roy is Hall of Fame absaloute ledgend, faded to **** but his name still reads Roy Jones on ur resume and in time people forget how faded fighters were, remeber he just owned TitoComment

Here's a link to that Ree****yaluss post I was on about.
For some reason none of my buttons work anymore...like the bold ones, or the smiley ones...any help guys?Comment

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that we will face each other, but I think Jones is the right fight for me at the moment."
A direct quote from Joe. That's pretty much turning Pavlik down. I don't know how much clearer Joe had to get on what he wants to do. It all comes down to one thing, the Jones fight is worth a lot more money. He's a bigger draw and willing to come over to Wales.Comment

Yeah, because a prime Roy Jones - who was considered the best fighter in his world - should have flown to Wales to fight some nobody with a WBO belt. A guy who, coincidentally, left the super middleweight division as recently as his last fight!
Some of you guys kill me...Comment

What this article?
I don't buy it.
But you have to take a look from Jones point of view. He was P4P the #1 fighter in the sport. A well known fighter & multi-division champ & the challenger who's virtually an unknown wants you to come to his backyard overseas & fight him. Of course any boxer would want to be compensated for doing that. Cal was the fighter that needed to establish himself so he should have made more of an effort to fight Jones but he was content to defend his WBO belt at home."We tried to make this fight many years ago but the stumbling block was always what Roy wanted to be paid,"
Where's the ducking? Joe wasn't mentioning Roy much when Roy was in his prime?
Plus i found this in a thread i made back in the day claiming Joe had said this, am trying to get a link for it now.
"I'm a big Roy Jones fan and to be honest, he's the only guy in the world that I really don't want to fight. He seems to be the perfect fighter and you just can't hit the guy. Look at what Jones did to Richard Hall who then fights Dariuz Michaelczweski and bashes him up for 11 rounds. I like to watch Jones fight and see his moves. He carries an aura that he takes into the ring with him. It's 100 percent confidence and he knows he's going to win. You can tell that he doesn't take his talent for granted though because he obviously trains very hard and keeps in tremendous shape."

That quote came from a Michael McCormick interview in July 2003. Right after Jones defeated Ruiz.What this article?
