    its starts about 5:10 of this video.

    its something to consider for people who bash jones...
    Roy said it, I've seen the interview before. That is not proof that he avoided fighting them it's some words out of an accused fighter.

    I'm not saying he did avoid them but it certainly isn't proof that he didn't and make no mistake Roy is one of my favourite fighters.

      Lampley confirmed the Liles one though. I don't believe Lampley and Roy would lie. I know anythings possible. But for that matter we can be cynical about everything...

        Calslappy wanted no part in a match up with a prime RJJ too. He knew he wouldn't have got back up from that first round KD! That was just the washed up RJJ, just imagine what would have happened if he crossed the pond in their primes! DECAPITATION, just like what Fatton suffered.
