has anyone else gotten sick of hearing joy jones constantly talk about himself? it was just enough saturday night. everytime lamply would ask roy his opinion or any other question all roy would do was talk about himself. all i wanted to do was say to him....."hey roy......YOU GOT KNOCK THE FUG OUT!!!!!!" FRIDAY style. not one single comment that roy jones made did not include the words....I or me. what a loser.

...Your right!!! When will he get that his time has passed and nothing going on is about him? IMO he isn't a player of any kind anymore. Who really gives a **** what he is thinking about doing anyway? He is gonna get his ass killed in the ring if he doesn't wake the **** up and realize he aint got it anymore. If I were HBO I would tell him to STFU and talk about the real boxers and leave his wet dreams out of it. -
He might talk about himself alot but I also think he is a very good broadcaster and he know what he is talking about.Comment

The whole production for the show on saturday was horrible, during certain times you could hear Lampley take off his head set and hear him mumble something.....
But thats Vintage Roy....I found it humorous he could be so high on himself though.Comment

I thought the show was great saturday and thought Roy did a good job. The only thing that bothers me is when HBO degrades a fighters accomplishments, they kept talking down Hopkins because he wasn't brawlig. Anyone that knows anything about boxing should have know that Hopkins/Eastman was not going to be Gatti/Ward1.Originally posted by spinksjinxComment

i dis agree. i respect your opinion whole heartedly but i just don't think roy is the quality commentator that deserves to be on hbo. c'mon....for cryin outloud tyson sounded more intelligent when asked about sugar ray robinson than roy did when he was asked. again all roy talked about was himself. terrible commentating if you ask me.Originally posted by Mayweatherfan
i agree with you on the production as a whole. but jones constant mem me i i b.s. is what made me want to change the chanel in between fights. i just feel that they need to get someone else. someone who would actually talk about the sport without constantly talking about themselves and never actually staying ith the subject at hand.Originally posted by spinksjinxComment

True, but HBO always looks for a strong personality and to pull in ratings. I really couldnt pick any fighter to do commentating because the talk always leads back to them. Lampley consistantly does this with Roy, while Merchant blows them off and talks his own talk. They didnt do this with Foreman but Foreman was always like "He needs just that one big punch and its over" EVERY SINGLE ROUND OF EVERY SINGLE FIGHT. It's annoying, Ray Leonard did a better job than Foreman and Roy combined....Although anybody they pulled in today aside from Tyson would boast about themselves. But I could hardly understand Tyson saturday and I knew what he was trying to say but he couldnt put the right words to say it.Comment

I guess he's kind of jealous that the guy he beat outdid him in terms of career...I still love Roy, though..Comment
