did Jones avoid the best fighters and fight so cautiously cause

[Dynamite Kid]

Mate Collins, Nunn, Eubank, Benn Neither of these guys can beat Roy at that time.. No way they could...

im sure you would have said the same thing about Douglas beating Tyson,Forrest beating Mosley etc etc

[sparked_85]

He avoided Glen Catley!!!

[Silencers]

fair enough i just dont buy it that out of all the guys Jones could of fought these are the best he could come up with and he could not make a fight with the numerous good fighters around his weight

even at a catch weight

Who else was there?

I doubt they would have beaten Jones but they could have.

No i wouldn't but that time Jones is superman... In the 90's i think bobody can beat him... Correct me if i'm wrong.. His record speak itself..

in a sport where styles make fights that is a ridiculous thing to say


he had his troubles with Southpaws and he was getting outboxed by Montell Griffin

[Silencers]

He was getting frustrated by Griffin not sure if he was getting outboxed though, I thought he was winning the fight.

Did you see the fight? Griffin vs Jones? How can you say that Jones was outboxed? Jones outclassed Griffin and was down on 7 he almost murdered griffin lol .... Griffin doesn't even last full 1 round in their rematch...

[THE REED]

Most of the fights that could have happened but didn't wasn't really his fault, it was just bad timing or negotiations falling apart.

And he deserves respect for moving up and beating Ruiz, I don't rate Ruiz highly but he's a legitimate heavyweight who has beaten decent opposition and gives almost anyone problems to this day.

I mean, sometimes I login, and really start to see some posters turning into borderline idiots...

You fight a guy for the middleweight title, and as soon as you leave, he becomes the MW champion for the next 10 years... in Bernard Hopkins.

You move UP in weight to fight James Toney for the SMW title who is 44-0 and on the p4p list... and the guy doesnt win a round.

You move up and practically clear out the LHW division. the DM issue, was not solely Roys fault... DM Came to the states to watch one of Roys fights, flew back and was never heard from again... and at the time, Roy was the man, had most the belts, you wanna be the best, you gata come to the states and fight, and DM didnt.

Then you move up and fight one of the HW champions... it doesnt matter who it is... the fact that roy came from 154 pounds as a fighter and then schooled a legitimate HW champion, is remarkable... like he says, nobody did it, in over a 100 years, so if its so easy...........

Then he moved back down lost all that muscle, and fought the NEW best LHW in Antonio Tarver...

And now hes fighting 45-0 Joe Calzaghe...

Theres a lot of fighters out there that wish they had those accolades.

[Truth]

this topic is played out. only guy he really should have fought was Michaelzweski...i can't spell his name. but you know who i'm talking about.
