    part time taxi drivers like James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, Mike McCallum, Montell Griffin, Virgil Hill, Reggie Johnson, Julio Cesar Gonzalez, John Ruiz, Clinton Woods. You're just a hater man. get over it. he is the most athletically gifted boxer of all-time.

      roy wasn't scared of any fighter.

      he was gonna fight douglas after buster beat mike for god's sake.

      roy was a bad boxing promoter but he feared no fighter.

      roy rules! floyd is a poor man's roy.

            ppl are voting for Dariusz Michalczewski which is a joke cuz DM fought every single one of his fights in Germany and refused to fight anywhere else. You expect the p4p #1 fighter in the world to go out of his way to face DM in Germany for FAR less money than would be made fighting in Las Vegas? Thats a joke.

                  He avoided reamtches with Hopkins and Toney...Both were good fights you can argue the money wasn't worth the risk for him in B Hops case but at Super Middle Weight he dominated the division non the less....Fighters shouldn't always have to grant other fighters rematches becasue they came close to beating them the frist time....Roy saw there was plenty of $$$ to be made with out other big names on the card for him....he kept the risk to a minimum and the reward to a maximum profit.....you really can't blame the man now can you? Dp I think he avoided some matches for fear of losing and my answer is no. Absolutely not in his mind that is Roy Jones mind he couldn't be beat by anyone so to say he was afraid of them or ducked them for that reason is crazy....It simply wasn't worth it business wise for him to fight those guys when he could make the same money fighting less competitive fights with less risk of getting hurt or losing....Lefty

                    roy does not have a glass chin!

                    he doesn't have a great one but it's not glass.

                    how many fights has he been and how old was he when he got koed?

                    people. just because you get koed doesn't mean you have a glass chin!

                    everyone has gotten koed. not everyone can be oliver mccall or david tua for christ's sake.

                      lol. he avoided rematches after COMPLETELY dominating both fighters.

                      if hops wanted to fight roy jones than he would have accepted jones' offer of a 60/40 split but not getting the money and also losing to jones wasn't a good enough offer for hops. he wanted to atleast make money if he was gonna lose.

                      toney never fought in the same division as roy since their fight.
