Reality Check: Roy Jones Never Ducked Joe Calzaghe

[uppercutz]

For anyone who hasn't seen the infamous way Darius beat Rocco the first time, here it is:

What a joke that was! Truth be told, Darius should thank god his promoter kept him away from Roy.

Minor quibble with the post-script: the Yukon is actually in Canadian province neighbouring Alaska.

****en get it right, eh? :-)

[ferocity]

These are the real facts:
- Roy made the guy who knocked Nunn’s ass out look like a child.
- Steve Collins couldn’t hold Roy’s jock strap.
- If you are pound for pound the best in the world you call the shots. If any of those boxers from Europe at that time wanted a beat down by Roy then they should of came to the USA.
- Now the shoe is on the other foot, and Roy should have to go to Europe if that is what Calzaghe wants.
- People are lining up to fight Mayweather, but no one wanted to get in the ring with Roy in his prime.

And Collins went up to the ring after a Jones Jr. fight and wanted to call out Roy, Jones didn't even look at Collins who looked twice the size as Jones Jr. Roy was scared of Collins and i dont care that he lost to some other fighter, fact is Roy took the easy route as often as he could!

fight will be good no matter what y'all say

These clown don't wanna see that. They wanna keep pretending Dariusz was a God who Jones ducked.

Rochigianni, by the way, was the same person who pulled a no-show at the initial presser and then pulled out of a fight against Jones then sued the WBC a couple years later.

hey genius. number 1 is that roy was supposed to fight nunn and changed his mind and gave up the wbc title so he didnt have to fight him! why do you think roy gave up the title and roccaginai ended up with it? BECSAUSE NUNN LOST OUT ON FIGHTING ROY AND HAD TO GO TO GERMANY WHERE THEY SAY HE WAS ROBBED. I THINK ROY BEATS NUNN IF THEY FOUGHT BUT GTHE FACT IS THAT ROY IS THE REASON THEY DIDNT FIGHT. AND FOR COLLINS FROM IRELAND, hbo said collins really overpriced himself , he wanted like 4 million more than he was offered. sounds like he was the one who didnt want the fight with jones

[mspiegelo]

yeah, this roy-ducking-joe thing is just preposterous. so is the dariusz michafsaklsdksdflkj thing, since he should have came to the US to fight Roy.

Frank Warren pretty much made up the thing about Roy ducking Calzaghe and often said ridiculous stuff about Joe being the 'real legend', or how Joe holds ALL of the cards cause he's the man, not Jones. Then Joe fired his fat ass. hahahaha... karma's a *****.

Is this the same Steve Collins that rather than deffend his prized WBO super middle weight belt to his No1 contender Joe Calzaghe ,he vacated it instead !? refusing to fight Calzaghe ! ??
Surely thats not the steve collins your talking about???
That cant be the same fighter you say RJJ avoided ??

collins is overrated imo. he beat a nigel benn who had the life ****** out of him from the tradgedy of mcclellan and an over-the-hill eubank in a very close fight. then he blatantly ducked calzaghe. people love to hate on roy jizzle.
