Roy Jones Jr. Deserves Credit

[hardmanbrit]

He is one of the greatest fighters of all time.

An exemplary boxer who has hardly any equals. For him to have world titles in four different weight divisions is incredible.

It is just a shame that him and Joe Calzaghe did not meet years ago when they were not both in their late thirties.

But well done Joe.

Roy Jones showed the heart of a lion to carry on fighting with a bad cut and had the dignity after the fight to admit that the better man won the fight.

I love Roy Jones! If ya don't like it then lick my nine!

Most definitely.

Nice post man. I don't understand the venom and immaturity that spills out after these fights.

I was rooting for Joe, who I think fought a great fight but I found it very difficult to see Jones taking hits as the fight went on. I wanted him to pull out a 'vintage Jones' round later on in the fight, even just so that people could say they saw 'glimpses' of a prime Roy.

Now the forum is dominated by Calzaghe fans slandering the U.S and Jones and vice versa.

I wish the fight had come earlier, of course. We all do. But I think Calzaghe would be competitive with anyone at super middleweight. I didn't particularly like the taunting in the final round either. However I think he performed his job brilliantly and certainly don't think he deserves the venom aimed at him in this forum.

Jones was a class act and fought bravely. And I would have thought his dip**** corner had heard of vaseline. I think he is far removed from his prime but I happen to think that Joe is past his as well.

Either way respect should be given to BOTH fighters if there are real boxing fans out here. All of this boring, predictable, bull**** U.S/U.K hysteria is bringing the place down.

This is boxing, the 'noble' art.

Roy is overrated and Joe exposed him.

Thanks mate. Very good post.

Where has all this nonsensical USA/UK hatred come from? I have American relatives and I sometimes jokingly take the piss out of them for being Yanks, but I love America and its people.

Americans are the most friendly and most magnanimous people on Earth so why are my fellow countrymen having a go at you? I feel ashamed and I can only apologise.

Anyway, we have fought alongside each other in countless wars for f***'s sake!

Roy showed heart and is such a likeable guy a true legend.
