Cheating History: Roy Looks For Path Of Least Resistance

whatever happened to the discussed fight between him and Anderson Silva?!?!?!

**joe strong** · 06-23-2009, 07:15 AM

no surprise he takes the past of least resistance...he did it his whole career.

Silva would get destroyed. Silva was a professional boxer before his MMA career and he had a record of 0-3

Soo...

Roy is a legend. He has great wins over Bernard and Toney. The fact he beat such brilliant technical fighters proves he can box and wasn't just a physical freak.

The guy is great man come on give him a break. It's Roy Jones ffs. He made up for anything negative in sheer entertainment value in his fighting style. Most entertaining fighting style I've ever seen.

Excellent read from Jake Donovan as usual.

Regarding the IBO: The organization gets a lot of credibility for their rankings and the fact that the rankings are independent, unbiased and takes other champions into consideration. When they sanction a fight as for their championship they are no better, perhaps even worse, than the other so-called governing bodies.

Roy Jones: What can I say? Good stuff Jake.

There’s little shame in losing to an all-time great like Calzaghe

Khm...khm... What???

This is bull****. Roy beat everybody that he had to beat, he beat everyone that was put in front of him. Dariusz didn't really want it or else he would have come to the US. Roy was cashing large checks and didn't feel the need to go outside of the US.

Jones was like Wlad and Vitali are now, no fighter put in front of them will beat them at this point. Is it their fault? no they're just that good. Everyone exaggerates calling the HW division ****, but won't admit that Wlad and Vitali have something to do with that.

Roy beat everyone, even the fighters who fans gave a chance to, were embarrassed by Roy. He beat top 10 fighters from Middleweight-Light heavyweight and beat Ruiz at Heavyweight and actually made the fight exciting against a very boring fighter.

Jake calling Calzaghe an ATG says enough about the article, "losing to an ATG at 40 years old and being able to KD him in the first round is nothing to be ashamed of" sounds much better like that.

In regards to DM it works both ways. Donovan's point can be summed up in this quote:

"...the onus is on Jones. Great fighters make great fights happen, period."

I agree with Kevin here Jones did what most fighters of the modern error do when they are in his position. he was the draw so why go out f the country to fight someone when you can make more money in your own back yard? He fought who was available and made good business decisions. I wish he could have come to terms with Hopkins when the rematch would have mattered thought always wanted to see that happen....Lefty

This si true but also great promoters make great fights happen. I truly belive most fighters think they can beat anybody. if they don;t then they shouldn't be in the ring Bat.....He probalby could haqve made more of a stand a HW though i was hoping to see him in there with Holyfield or Tyson at that point (before he was brutally Ko'd) i thought he might be able to win those fights....Lefty
